This week it was rumored that Kelly Rowland walked off the set of the Today show in a petty dispute over dressing room size [click here if you missed that].
Now insiders are claiming the REAL reason Kelly walked off the set is because they kept asking her about Beyoncé after Kelly's team warned them not to, ahead of time...
From The Wrap
Kelly Rowland’s dramatic walk-off from “Today” on Thursday was in response to Savannah Guthrie’s questions about Beyoncé, not the size of her dressing room, TheWrap has learned.
Last week, the singer and actress abruptly left the morning news show’s set, with initial reports finding that Rowland was reacting to her dressing room not being “up to par,” leaving host Hoda Kotb to scramble for a last-minute coanchor. Rita Ora, who had been booked as a guest, stepped up as cohost at the last minute.
However, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap that “Kelly was offended that Savannah repeatedly and aggressively asked her about Beyoncé,” which was the real reason behind the walk-off.
“The story was spun that Kelly didn’t like her dressing room, but she has been on the ‘Today’ show numerous times, she and her team know the dressing room set up. That would not come as a surprise at all,” the individual said. “Kelly was upset about Savannah’s aggressive questioning about Beyoncé. She and her team were not happy and felt disrespected.”
In the Thursday interview, Guthrie asked, “What do you think about your friend Beyoncé?” prior to Rowland’s exit.
Rowland, who was a member of girl group Destiny’s Child with the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer, replied, “I’m so proud of her.”
Guthrie persevered, asking, “I know, but were you surprised and what do you think about it?” — referring to Beyoncé’s new country project, “Act II.”
“I’m so proud of her,” Rowland repeated. “So happy for her.”
Rowland has an agreement ahead of interviews that she won’t be asked about Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child, according to the individual. “She wants to leave that behind,” the person said.

I guess the Today Show is trying to spin it because of the hate they are getting. #teamkelly
At least they didn’t ask her about Serena.
Today isn't getting the hate when it comes to the white press because they jumped in immediately and defined the issue. If this is Kelly's problem she should have said so at once.
Overkill this is the 5th post about Kelly. Zzzzzz
People who still watch that show or appear on it deserve whatever foolishness goes along with it.
Rest In Power, Hydeia Broadbent!
Hmmm did Tamron get the memo? Because she asked about Beyonce as well. I wonder if she will return to her show.
I look at it like this, Kelly has a right to request that the interviewer NOT bring up Beyonce, but with that said, the interviewer has the right to change their mind and ask what they want. Kelly should know that in Hollywood very few people keep their promises.
Problem is that Kelly's team is so tacky they let Today define the issue, then waited two days to respond. She needs to fire everybody.
The real issue is Kelly played nice all these years and now you're ova it
BeYAWNce is has a 5th grade speak pattern with 2nd grade brain
Perhaps they simply find Beyonce more interesting, which is probably perfectly fine with Beyonce.
She's tired of talking about Beyodel and so are we. Next!!!
I don't know why this particular shade of blonde on Beyonce irks me.
