This all happened at the premiere of Marcello Mio, and the clip shows Kelly getting some pretty stern direction from an usher to move up the stairs.
In her response, Kelly pointed out that other women on the red carpet, who didn’t look like her, weren’t told off or rushed in the same way.
“There were other women on that red carpet who did not look like me that were not scolded, or pushed off, or told to get off,” she said.
“I set my boundary. I stood my ground and she stood hers.”
Here’s what happened between Rowland and the usher
The video shows Kelly looking fabulous as she walks the red carpet, stopping for photographers like a pro.
But as she got to the stairs of the Palais des Festivals, an usher started motioning her to move it along.
Kelly, being her gracious self, kept waving to fans and photogs. But the usher wasn’t having it and kept signalling her to speed it up.
As Kelly started up the stairs, more ushers swooped in, kinda herding her to one side.
When Kelly turned to wave at someone in the crowd, the ushers behind her stretched out their arms, almost blocking her.
One usher, in particular, kept her arm really close to Kelly’s back, which Kelly politely touched to signal, “Hey, chill out, I got this.”
But the usher didn’t back off.
This led Kelly to turn around and seemingly give the usher a piece of her mind before continuing up the stairs.
And just when you thought it was over, the usher pulled the same move on another woman who seemed to be with Kelly.
Neither Cannes nor the usher’s reps have surfaced with an explainer.
