Kelly Rowland reportedly declined hosting Today due to dressing room

Kelly Rowland

Kelly Rowland made headlines recently after reportedly turning down the opportunity to guest-host on Today due to issues with her dressing room. The Grammy-winning singer was slated to fill in for Jenna Bush Hager on Today With Hoda & Jenna but allegedly left the show early over concerns about her dressing room accommodations.

The incident took place following Kelly's appearance on the show to promote her latest film, 'Mea Culpa,' a suspenseful thriller produced by Tyler Perry. In the movie, Kelly portrays a defense attorney who becomes entangled with one of her clients, leading to a gripping narrative that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

According to reports, Kelly and her team were dissatisfied with the designated dressing room provided for her and decided to walk out. This unexpected turn of events led to British singer Rita Ora stepping in at the last minute to take over Kelly's hosting duties. Sources explained that Rita Ora's impromptu appearance was met with positive reviews, with many praising her performance on the show.

The situation reportedly arose due to Kelly requesting alternative dressing room options, including a green room located on a different floor. However, the space was already occupied by Jennifer Lopez as she prepared to promote her latest musical venture, 'This Is Me… Now.' Despite being offered other alternatives, Kelly chose to depart, ultimately leading to Rita Ora taking the reins.

While representatives for Kelly Rowland have not yet commented on the incident, the abrupt exit from Today has sparked speculation and discussion within the entertainment industry. Fans and viewers alike are curious to learn more about the circumstances surrounding Kelly's decision and the impact it may have on her future appearances.
