Kelly Rowland was in rare form at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and it appears that someone had to feel her wrath.
Video has surfaced showing Rowland on the red carpet of the star-studded event. As she posed for cameras on her way into the event, the former Destiny’s Child member had to check a security guard for seemingly being rude. While there is no audio of the moment, Rowland appears to tell the woman, “Don’t talk to me like that,” while sternly pointing her finger in the woman’s face. Seconds before words were exchanged, it appeared that the security guard was attempting to get Rowland to move along on the carpet hastily and even, at one point, accidentally stepped on her dress. Rowland’s assertiveness in handling the situation left fans coming to her defense, quick to shoot down the “Angry Black Woman” narrative and highlighting the importance of respect during such high-powered events.

All I know is when I sat down with Ms. Kelly Rowland she was the sweetest most calming woman & even gave me pre-wedding tips separate from our interview. Protect her at all costs! pic.twitter.com/aWdZMWFaYw
