The former Destiny’s Child singer posed for pictures at the premiere of film Marcello Mio on Wednesday when she seemingly became involved in a heated exchange with a member of staff. The security guard held up her arms to guide 43-year-old Rowland up the stairs to the theatre when the apparent verbal dispute began, with the US singer pointing her finger at the staff member as she appeared upset. Rowland addressed the incident during the amfAR gala in Cannes, which saw Hollywood A-listers Demi Moore and Cher among the stars supporting to raise money for Aids research.
On the red carpet, Rowland told AP: “The woman knows what happened. I know what happened. And, I have a boundary.
And I stand by those boundaries and that is it. “There were other women who 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 she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground and that was it.” A representative from the Cannes Film Festival has been contacted for comment. Ghost actress Moore hosted the 30th edition of the amfAR gala on Thursday, veteran singer Cher delivered a “special musical moment” while US star Nick Jonas and British singer Jess Glynne performed.
The star-studded guest list also included Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, model Heidi Klum, and Sarah, Duchess of York, who attended an evening featuring a live auction and a fashion show curated by the former editor-in-chief of Vogue.
