Kelly Rowland Cannes Usher is an Equal Opportunity Hater


Over the past week a Cannes Film Festival usher has been caught on camera preventing several women of color from having their moment on the red carpet, shooing them up the stairs while they tried in vain to wave and pose for the paparazzi [click here if you missed that].

Apparently the infamous usher is an equal opportunity hater and was caught tackling Miss Europe 2023, Ukrainian model Sawa Pontyjska, at the top of the Cannes Film Festival red carpeted stairs...

That's her job. Too many semi-stars and not enough time for each to make a major turn on the steps. It's a "say hi and get outta here" kind of thing.

She should have her her security to man handle this usher, she is doing way too much and I think they are paying her to do so to create talking points and attention.

I saw Heidi Klum on the same steps swirling and posing with no security guards present.

Thank goodness she won't have this job for long. She'll be able to get another gig, but she's not a smart worker and is attracting too much bad publicity. Next.

Not at all I think, I think this is exactly what they are paying her to do.
And I don’t think it’s racial, it’s more about Star status, the more of the Star you are the more time they give you to twirl and take pics. The less of a star the less time you get.

@10:12. What are you talking about? I'm 9:55 and didn't write anything about her not doing her job, racism, star time, etc.

I wrote she's not a smart worker. She did what she was paid to do but she angered those she's directing and has brought bad publicity to herself and her industry.

I think you have an agenda. Please flex it with someone else.

You make no sense. Please stop. Kelly has been in the game since a teen and she is not a C List as much as you all try to downplay her accomplishments. Like the other person said Heidi Klum was not touched and yet she was able to pose for pics without being tackled.

@9:04 & 10:12 You're both right. Her job is to keep the mid level talent moving. Stars can hang around for a sec but Kellie ain't no star in that milieu. The usher is doing exactly what she's paid to do. People like Kellie don't like it when they're reminded they're not top tier.

Sounds like 9:04, 10:12 and 10:35 are the same people commenting. This is not Woodstock. If Cannes invited the likes of Heidi Klum then why would they consider Kelly to be less of a star? Y’all acting like they invited Sean Kingston or Foxy Brown.

We should see what freedom Heidi has as she gets to the top of stairs. Maybe they’re all free at the bottom/mid stairs but then they are rushed through on the way up the stairs? It seems to be the stair level when security steps in to get them up the stairs but we’re not seeing the complete walk of each celeb

This is Jay z from behind the scenes making this idea happen to downplay Kelly's accomplishments. Jay z whole plan was to not look bad from the time moving away from Dame dash. So why not do it for beyonce? Jay z is the ONLY one went for the elites and royals like the Rothschild's Rockefeller's etc ..to communicate for acceptance. In fact, this looks like Jay z's worst nightmare than being considered next from P Diddy's situation. 🤭

This is an international movie celebration, not the BET awards. Kellie's big film this year is that janky Tyler Perry mess. Heide has been a European celebrity for years.

Soooo we just gone IGNORE that this lady did this to Lillie white women too? Let’s face it she is doing her job and when yall saw her do it with Kelly first thing yelled was racism now that footage of her doing this to anyone!!!! You making excuses. That UK model is WHITE WHITE! It don’t get whiter than that due to her geographic location. That Asian woman she did it to was a WHITE asian (yes there are black and white asians) so let’s stop Kelly felt embarrassed and That’s why she acted the way she did I would have too instead of saying that she blamed racism just like she did with that dressing room fiasco only for everyone else to come out and say they got the same dressing room or less some said they didn’t even get a dressing room. So let’s just admit we was wrong and this is not race based and let’s move on.

She's an entitled bully.

@11:30 AM Nobody knows that one European yt model, yet Kelly should've said, "NO" when whomever suggest she go to this fake AZ festival. Plus it says, cannes film festival usher has been caught on camera preventing several women of color get their moment on the red carpet.

Honestly, no one even knew who the Ukranian model was and she acted like a groupie sneaking in and getting caught. Lol. I love how she tried to get through. Lol She actually made it funny! Lol. I like her. Someone like Naomi and Heidi are always over there on the French Riviera and so they are familiar faces that might be able to prance more. They are a part of that culture to a degree. However, if I were Kelly I would've been mad too if the security gaurd touched me or was snappy. Sometimes it's "how" you do things that make people react. All guests should've been informed that the schedule was extremely tight and to keep it moving. However the celebs wanted the free press and so they kept posing. Lol Next time the festival needs to communicate the protocol in advance because guests didn't know why the security was pushy.

Next year, they should avoid Cannes if that handsy usher/security guard is still employed. There is no way I would ever want to show up to a venue and be treated that way. Unprofessional and inappropriate.

The usher didn't recognize Kelly Rowland. She was looking for dark-skinned Kelly.

^^^Right. She thought she was looking at a bad clone and was trying to remove her from the red carpet.
