Kelly Rowland Stands Up to Ushers at Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival is known for its glamorous red carpets, but things took a dramatic turn on Tuesday when singer/actress Kelly Rowland found herself in a tense situation with ushers at the premiere of “Marcello Mio.”

As Rowland posed for photos, ushers began directing her to move to the stairs at the Palais des Festivals. However, the situation escalated when multiple ushers surrounded her, blocking her view and aggressively guiding her up the stairs. Despite Rowland’s attempts to maintain composure, the ushers continued to be forceful in their actions.

The incident quickly caught the attention of social media, with Black Twitter coming to Rowland’s defense and calling out the disrespectful behavior towards the star. Many users criticized the ushers for their treatment of Rowland and demanded a public apology for the incident.

While some may have labeled Rowland’s reaction as diva-like, supporters pointed out that she was simply standing up for herself in a situation where she was being mistreated. The incident raises questions about the treatment of Black women in public spaces and the stereotypes that are often unfairly placed upon them.

As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the importance of advocating for oneself and standing up against mistreatment, regardless of the circumstances. Cannes may have strict red carpet rules, but that does not justify disrespectful behavior towards any individual, regardless of their status.
