• Kelly Rowland’s rep defended her after she allegedly backed out of a Today show appearance due to a problem with her dressing room
• Rita Ora replaced Kelly in the hosting duty at the last minute
• Hoda Kotb expressed admiration for Kelly and hopes she will return to the show
Here is what happened:
In a recent series of events involving Kelly Rowland, her representative came out to speak positively about the singer. The representative, who has known Kelly for 28 years, referred to her as one of the kindest, most amiable humans they have ever met and represented. This statement followed reports that Kelly allegedly walked off a “Today” show appearance at the last minute due to issues with her dressing room.
The incident occurred shortly before Kelly was supposed to co-host the “Hoda & Jenna” segment of the “Today” show on February 15th alongside Hoda Kotb. However, due to the reported dressing room drama, she was replaced with Rita Ora, who was also a scheduled guest that day. Rita later spoke out about the last-minute change, expressing her gratitude to Hoda and Jenna for inviting her to co-host the show.
A few days later, Hoda addressed the situation during an airing of “Hoda & Jenna,” expressing her “great love and admiration” for Kelly and her disappointment over the incident. She also expressed her desire for Kelly to come back on the show and host again, despite the dressing room drama. E! News reached out to Kelly’s rep for comment but has yet to hear back on the matter.
