AP recently spoke to Kelly Rowland about the Cannes red carpet incident. “I have a boundary and I stand by those boundaries.” She continued, “And there were other women on the carpet who didn’t look like me, and they didn’t get scolded, pushed off, or told to get off.”

The clip shows Rowland being guided by several different guards before ultimately getting to the top of the elaborate stairs where she has a verbal dispute with a woman.

“I stood my ground,” she explained.

This isn’t the first time Mrs. “Motivation” Rowland reminded us all to stand on business when it comes to respect. According to PageSix , Kelly Rowland reportedly walked off her co-hosting gig on Today With Hoda and Jenna because her dressing room was insufficient.

We applaud Kelly for always demanding respect and equality.
