“The woman knows what happened”- Kelly Rowland addresses the security guard incident
As the video of Massiel Taveras having a clash with a security guard at the Cannes Film Festival goes viral, many remember the similar fiasco that took place with Kelly Rowland, who was also treated in a similar manner on May 21, 2024, on the Marcello Mio premiere day.
After the incident took place with Massiel, Kelly addressed the situation on May 21, 2024, and spoke to the Associated Press about the same, as she said:
“The woman knows what happened. I know what happened. I have a boundary, and I stand by those boundaries, and that is it. And there were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off. I stood my ground, and she felt like she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground.”
While social media users continue to comment on the fiasco that took place with Kelly Rowland and Massiel Taveras, the two women have not spoken up about why they were pushed aside by the security guard.
At the same time, the officials from the Cannes Film Festival have also been tight-lipped about the situation.
