Kelly Rowland's unexpected departure from the Today show recently made headlines, with Rita Ora stepping in to fill her spot at the last minute. A behind-the-scenes mishap involving a disagreement over dressing room accommodations reportedly led to Rowland's sudden exit.
As reported by Page Six, Rowland, who was initially scheduled to appear as a guest co-host on Today with Hoda & Jenna, allegedly requested a specific green room that was already occupied by Jennifer Lopez. Unhappy with the alternative dressing room offered to her, Rowland decided to leave the set abruptly, prompting Ora to step in to salvage the segment.
While Rowland's representatives and the Today show declined to comment on the incident, sources revealed to PEOPLE that many people were impressed by Ora's performance as she filled in for Rowland on such short notice.
Currently, Kelly Rowland is promoting her involvement in the upcoming Netflix film, 'Mea Culpa,' directed by Tyler Perry. The movie centers around a criminal defense attorney's defense of an artist accused of murder, with suspense and danger escalating as the storyline unfolds.
For those eager to catch 'Mea Culpa,' mark your calendars for its premiere on Netflix on February 23. Stay informed about the latest in celebrity news and human interest stories by signing up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter.
