The Cannes Film Festival, known for its glitz, glamour, and star-studded red carpets, recently witnessed a surprising moment involving singer and actress Kelly Rowland.
The former Destiny’s Child star, often praised for her elegance and poise, made headlines for a different reason this year: scolding a security guard.

Kelly Rowland voiced her discontent with a security guard at the Cannes Film Festival, expressing displeasure at what she perceived as overly aggressive behavior. Reports indicate that she didn’t mind being seen as a “diva” in the situation.
The incident occurred during the premiere of the French film “Marcello Mio” on Tuesday when a female guard attempted to guide Rowland up the red-carpeted steps. Rowland’s reaction included scowling and gesturing with her left index finger to reprimand the guard in front of onlookers. According to an insider, Rowland had reached her limit with the event staff’s behavior. He also added- “Mea Culpa” actress, 43, “wanted to set a clear boundary” with the security staffer. (here)
In this TikTok video posted by user @paolatravell, Rowland can be seen interacting with security at the event. It is alleged that the security was rushing her and reportedly told Rowland to “hurry up,” or “move” but this has not been officially confirmed. Rowland was trying to wave to fans and pose for the paparazzi while this interaction was seemingly taking place.

It is then believed that Rowland responded with something along the lines of, “Don’t talk to me like” and “You’re not my mother.” Again- this has not been officially confirmed and was just speculated by other TikTok users in the comment section of the above video.

Kelly Rowland has long been admired for her grace and professionalism, both on and off the stage. Her career, spanning decades, showcases her resilience, talent, and ability to navigate the complexities of the entertainment industry. This incident, while notable, is a rare deviation from her typically serene public persona.
The incident at Cannes highlights broader themes of respect, professionalism, and the dynamics of high-profile events. It serves as a reminder that celebrities, despite their status, often face challenges that require them to stand up for their principles and the people they care about.
