appeared to scold security at the red carpet premiere of the French-Italian film “Marcello Mio” during the Cannes Film Festival.Photos from the event showed Rowland pointing her finger towards a female security guard during their heated exchange.But according to insiders, Rowland was not the instigator in the incident.“The people who are assigned to helping stars walk the red carpet were being aggressive and Kelly was trying to ignore it,” a source claimed to the Daily Mail Wednesday.They continued: “By the time she got to the last woman she had had it because she scolded Kelly and told her to move when she was trying to wave to fans and help the paparazzi get their shot.”Rowland appeared to be enjoying herself at the glitzy premiere before the incident.

As the source noted, she was initially smiling and waving to fans in her gorgeous red gown with a long train as she made her way up the red carpet steps.But according to the insider, the former Destiny’s Child member isn’t bothered about being in the center of drama.“She doesn’t care if she comes across like a diva if she knows that she is advocating for herself,” said the source. “She isn’t fake and wanted to set a clear boundary.”The Post has reached out to Rowland’s rep for comment.Earlier this year, Rowland was involved in another melodramatic situation when she allegedly walked off the “Today” show because her dressing rooms reportedly “weren’t up to par.” Rowland and her team reportedly played “musical dressing rooms” before inquiring about a dressing room on a different floor.

However, it was already occupied by Jennifer Lopez, so Rowland left the studio and Rita Ora had to step in as her last-minute replacement as guest co-host on “Today with Hoda & Jenna.”Hoda.
