The 2024 Cannes Film Festival got interesting as former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland was seen having an altercation with a security guard as she was ushered up the stairs. The quick interaction was so intense it left fans dying to know what was said.
Many lip readers on TikTok have tried to read the entertainer’s lips to get the full story of what happened. From what was shown, the singer-actress was in the midst of posing for pictures when one of the security guards insisted on ushering her up the stairs and by accident, stepped on her dress.
The 43-year-old singer-actress looked over to inform the guard of what happened and the security guard apparently muttered an apology. Later on, the Cannes guard turned her head and said something else that was not seen on camera; this allegedly sent the mother-of-two in full rage.
It appeared that the Cannes security guards were being too pushy when trying to escort celebrities up the stairs, moments before the showdown occurred. The actress was posing for photos and perhaps due to time constrain and lack of proper communication, things took a turn down south.
Her fans of course share the same sentiment as many defended the artist by agreeing that the guard was too pushy and invading her personal space. Others commented that her reaction was valid and that they would have done the same if faced with a similar situation.
As for what was said by the singer during the altercation, expert forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman confirmed with news outlets that Kelly told the pushy security guard, “Do not talk to me like that, you’re not my mother. Don’t talk to me like that”. Unfortunately, what was said by the guard wasn’t caught on camera but it must’ve been something enticing to set the entertainer blazing.
However, the singer was still irked as she reached the top of the steps before entering the “Marcello Mio” premiere, as she turned around and yelled “You still don’t talk to me like that”, according to the expert lip reader. While we won’t know for sure what truly happened, it’s clear that Kelly Rowland won’t stand for people being rude to her.
