HODA Kotb has broken her silence on the Kelly Rowland drama.
Earlier that day, Savannah Guthrie was slammed for her supposedly disrespectful interview with the singer.
On Tuesday’s episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda, 59, spoke out about Kelly storming off the set.
“I just want to say this,” she said to Jenna Bush Hager. “I have great love and admiration for Kelly Rowland. I adore her.”
Hoda said that she wants the Destiny’s Child alum to come back on the show.
“She is welcome back any time!” Jenna added.
“Of course she is. She can share my dressing room,” Hoda offered.
“We’ll be in there together.”
Hoda said that they have loved Kelly for many years and love her on the show.
Kelly, 43, was supposed to appear on Today this past Thursday, but walked off the set just minutes before her interview.
Sources claimed that she left due to drama around her dressing room.
She did, however, appear on Today with Savannah, but never showed up for when she was supposed to co-host with Hoda a few hours later.
Kelly was supposed to talk more about her new film, Mea Culpa, but left after she wasn’t happy with her dressing room situation.
“Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Hoda] without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour,” an insider told Page Six.
Her team reportedly staged a game of “musical dressing rooms,” and set their sights on an upstairs green room because “they didn’t like the one she was in.”
However, Jennifer “JLo” Lopez, 54, had already occupied the room because she arrived earlier than Kelly to promote her own album and film.
“They’re not nice. It’s the oldest building. There are major space limitations, [it’s] not glamorous. It’s not fresh flowers, and candles, and gourmet food. It’s basically [a] white box,” a source claimed to the outlet, describing the dressing rooms in the television studio.
They went on to say that a different room was offered, but Kelly and her team didn’t want that so they “walked out and left.”
Hoda was left without a co-host, but Rita Ora stepped in at the last minute to save the day.
FURIOUS FANS
On X, formerly Twitter, many fans voiced their opinions on Kelly leaving.
“Well, aren’t you a spoiled diva. Way to screw people over because you didn’t like your dressing room. If you think you’re on the same level as JLo then you are seriously off,” one said.
“JLo was there before Kelly. So JLo got the room. Kelly was being a brat and thought she was more important than others,” a social media user wrote.
“Ridiculous,” a third added.
“The fact that Kelly Rowland thinks she is a diva is sending me!” another person joked.
However, some fans thought that there might be more behind Kelly’s departure, suggesting that potential beef with JLo or the mention of ex-bandmate Beyoncé in her first interview may have influenced her absence.
“All for them to eventually make Kelly’s interview about Beyoncé I would have left too,” one said.
