Kelly Rowland leaves ‘Today’ show after locker room problem

The former Destiny’s Child member was supposed to replace Jenna Bush Hager as co-host of “Today with Hoda & Jenna,” but Rita Ora stepped in instead.

Kelly Rowland takes her confession elsewhere.

The “Motivation” singer and former Destiny’s Child member abruptly left the set of Today with Hoda and Jenna because of an issue with her dressing room on Thursday, when she was supposed to replace Jenna Bush Hager as guest host, EW has learned. The walkout took place after Rowland appeared as a guest on the Today the show at 8 a.m., and fellow singer Rita Ora eventually stepped in to replace her as guest host.

A representative for Today declined to comment on the matter and a representative for Rowland did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.

A source told PEOPLE that “Kelly left because she and her team didn’t like her dressing room,” and Ora then “agreed to replace her at the last minute.”

According to Page Six, which first reported the news, Rowland asked if she could use a green room upstairs because she wasn’t happy with the one she was in, but it was being used by Jennifer Lopez, who was on hand to promote her new album, It’s me nowand cinema, The greatest love story ever told. The report says Rowland was then offered several other options, but she instead chose to leave.

Rowland was on Today to promote his new film Mea culpa, a legal thriller in which she stars and produces. The film releases on Netflix on February 23. Ora, for his part, recently joined The Masked Singer as a panelist on season 11.
