On Tuesday, Kelly Rowland got into a dispute with an overzealous security guard on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Footage of the interaction went viral, and the iconic singer addressed the incident in a new interview.

“The woman knows what happened, I know what happened. I have a boundary and I stand by those boundaries and that is it," the former Destiny's Child member told the Associated Press. “And there were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off. I stood my ground and she felt like she had to stand hers. But I stood my ground. And that was it.”
