Kelly Rowland is sharing her side of the story about her confrontation with an usher on the red carpet for the Cannes premiere of the film “Marcello Mio” on Tuesday that was widely shared on social media. “I stood my ground,” she told the Associated Press.

As seen in video of the encounter, on Tuesday while Rowland was walking on the red carpet and posing for photos, a female security staff member kept touching her arm in an apparent attempt to speed her into the theater. The singer became visibly upset as the staffer continued to try moving her along, at once point accidentally stepping on Rowland’s dress.
