Singer Kelly Rowland walked off the set of NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday because she did not like the dressing room, according to Page Six.
Kelly posed for photos outside the NBC Studios at Rockefeller Plaza in NYC on Thursday, Feb. 15.
The incident happened on Thursday morning after the singer thought her dressing room was too tiny, sources exclusively tell Page Six.
The Destiny’s Child original member dramatically walked off the set, leaving host Hoda Kotb frantically searching for a new guest host.
Kelly showed up for her 8 a.m. appearance with “Today” host Savannah Guthrie to promote her Netflix film “Mea Culpa.”
However, she walked off the set as guest host of “Today with Hoda & Jenna” for the 10 a.m. hour.
“Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Kotb] without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour,” a source familiar with the situation told Page Six.
Hoda managed to find a last-minute guest host — singer Rita Ora.
Kelly’s disappearing act left Hoda and the “Today” show’s producers baffled and confused.
“She’s beloved at ‘Today.’ She was getting the full hour, and Hoda’s the biggest hype woman on the planet! It made no sense,” a source told Page Six.
Kelly and her team inquired about a green room upstairs because “they didn’t like the one she was in,” the source said.
Unfortunately, the upstairs green room was already taken by Jennifer Lopez, who arrived to the studio early. Jennifer was there to promote her new album, This Is Me… Now.
According to Page Six, dressing rooms at “Today” are known to be some of the smallest in the TV industry. They’re practically “glorified closets,” one source said.
Destiny’s Child founding member Beyonce was among the guests attending the premiere of Netflix’s “Mea Culpa” at the Paris Theater on Thursday in New York City.
The country music singer ditched her cowgirl attire for a striped mini dress with matching hoodie. She also wore a pair of matching black-and-white heels and a black fur coat.
(L-R) Trevante Rhodes, Kelly Rowland, and Tyler Perry arrived for the premiere of Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa at The Paris Theatre in NYC on Thursday.
