What happened during Kelly Rowland’s appearance on ‘Today’ show?

This year hasn't been without its share of drama for Rowland, AOL reports. In February, during her appearance on the 'Today' show, the 'Mea Culpa' actress grabbed headlines when she abruptly left, reportedly due to dissatisfaction with her dressing rooms.

It's said that Rowland and her team shuffled between dressing rooms before requesting one on a different floor, only to find it occupied by Jennifer Lopez.

According to a source close to the incident, Rowland's team expressed dissatisfaction, eventually leading to her departure, leaving Hoda without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour.

The show attempted to accommodate Rowland with several other options, including multiple talent dressing rooms and larger utility makeup and hair areas, but these were rejected.

Rowland's sudden exit left Hoda Kotb scrambling to fill the guest-host spot, fortunately filled by Rita Ora.

Rowland's representative addressed the incident at the time, emphasizing her enduring kindness and amiable nature throughout her career.
