Kelly Rowland was a hot topic over the weekend after the Destiny’s Child singer and actress reportedly walked out on her “Today” show appearance over a dressing room dispute.

What Happened With Kelly Rowland At The ‘Today’ Show?

Long story short – Kelly, who is doing press to promote her forthcoming Netflix film, Mea Culpa, guested in the 8 a.m. hour of “Today,” and was slated to return in the fourth hour as guest host with Hoda Kotb.

Apparently, Kelly Rowland wasn’t feeling her dressing room, so she grabbed her purse like Viola Davis and bounced.

Y’all stop with these false narratives.

I’ve worked with @kellyrowland as a Star/producer i will honestly say she was nothing short of AMAZING.

Sweet, kind, professional.

On time, great energy, impeccable manners, and professionalism.

She was nice to EVERYONE on set.

Not one diva moment.

Get both sides before you castrate anymore legends. Love this woman.

Y’all stop this BS.

This woman was nothing short of a humble loving queen… PERIOD.
