Kelly Rowland was photographed attempting to reprimand a security guard while walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.
The 43-year-old singer attended the premiere of the French film Marcello Mio and looked lovely in a busty red flowing gown.
However, when Kelly made her way up the festival’s famed steps, she appeared to have a verbal altercation with a member of security after holding up her arm to lead her inside the arena.
Kelly was outraged, holding up her finger to rebuke the woman in front of the audience.
The security guy appeared to react furiously to Kelly, who even turned around to resume her tirade as she climbed the rest of the stairs.

The dressing room reason was also reportedly corroborated by Hoda herself, who offered Rowland to share her dressing room the next time she appeared on the show.
However, it looks that Hoda’s words exacerbated the situation, as an insider told The Wrap that Kelly departed because she ‘felt insulted’ when Guthrie asked her a series of questions about her friend and former bandmate Beyoncé.
‘Kelly was offended that Savannah repeatedly and aggressively asked her about Beyoncé,’ the insider told the outlet.
‘Kelly was upset about Savannah’s aggressive questioning about Beyoncé. She and her team were not happy and felt disrespected.’
