Kelly Rowland was seen to have “had it” with an “aggressive” assistant at the Cannes Film Festival, according to reports.
It seems the 43-year-old hitmaker could no longer bite her tongue and ended up in a verbal dispute with the helper at the French festival. According to reports, the Destiny’s Child singer “doesn’t care” if she comes across as being a diva either.
It is claimed that the altercation broke out after a member of the security team had held up her arm to lead former X Factor star Kelly into the venue. It is understood that the singer had been “trying to ignore” the “aggressive” behaviour as she posed for pictures and spoke to fans.

A source told the Daily Mail, that Kelly had been putting up with the “aggressive” antics from the security team from the moment she entered the red carpet. By the time she reached the last person, she’d “had it”.
They told the publication: “She doesn’t care if she comes across like a diva if she knows that she is advocating for herself. She isn’t fake and wanted to set a clear boundary.”

“The people who are assigned to helping stars walk the red carpet were being aggressive and Kelly was trying to ignore it. By the time she got to the last woman she had had it because she scolded Kelly and told her to move when she was trying to wave to fans and help the paparazzi get their shot,” the insider added.
In the footage from the heated moment, Kelly can be seen visibly annoyed as she warned the staff member with her finger raised, in front of the entire crowd. The security person seemed frantic at first but carried on with duties of getting the star safely into the venue.
Daily Star has contacted Kelly’s team for further comment.

It comes after it was reported back in February that Kelly had been dissatisfied over her dressing room for her appearance on the Today show. The Dilemma star bowed out at the last minute, with Rita Ora stepping in to take her spot on the programme in the last hour.
Since then, sources have disputed dressing room claims explaining that Kelly had actually walked out after she’d believed “disrespect” was shown by Savannah Guthrie. Insiders claim that host Savannah had “aggressively” quizzed her about her former bandmate Beyoncé, instead of her new film Mea Culpa.
The source told The Wrap: “Kelly was offended that Savannah repeatedly and aggressively asked her about Beyoncé … She and her team were not happy and felt disrespected.”
