KELLY ROWLAND STORMS OFF THE TODAY SHOW

According to media outlet Page Six Kelly Rowland was a guest on the morning show. Kelly was also expected to fill in for Jenna Bush Hager on the Today with Hoda & Jenna show.

Sources told the media outlet that the R&B star stormed out in the last minute because her dressing room wasn’t up to par, and as a result she left Hoda Kotb scurrying to find a replacement.

“Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Kotb] without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour”, an insider told Page Six.

The singer appeared on the show to promote her new Tyler Perry-produced Netflix movie, Mea Culpa, in which she stars in and is also a producer.

The source also noted that Kelly Rowland’s abrupt exit shocked staffers at the Today Show because, “She’s beloved at the Today Show. She was getting the full hour, and Hoda’s the biggest hype woman on the planet! It made no sense”, the source explained.

‘THEY DIDN’T LIKE THE ONE SHE WAS IN’

Kelly’s team reportedly inquired about a green room upstairs because shared that “they didn’t like the one she was in”.

However, it was noted that the upstairs room was occupied by singer and actress Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer arrived to the studio before Kelly Rowland to promote her new album titled, This Is Me… Now, as well as to promote her accompanying film project, The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

According to another source the dressing rooms at the Today Show are notoriously known to be some of the smallest dressing rooms in the TV industry and have been described as “glorified closets”.

“They’re not nice. It’s the oldest building. There are major space limitations, [it’s] not glamorous. It’s not fresh flowers, and candles and gourmet food. It’s basically [a] white box”, the television source shared.

For the Today with Hoda & Jenna show, Kelly was replaced by fellow musician, Rita Ora.
