*Kelly Rowland’s dressing room controversy pulled into Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show on Monday, where she received proper A-list treatment from the host.
Shepherd posted a clip from the segment on her Instagram page, and one person commented, “I guess her dressing room was acceptable,” and Shepherd replied, “oh we gave her a gorgeous room!”
The talk show shared a video of Rowland’s dressing room on Instagram. “A TIME WAS HAD with the legendary Kelly Rowland at the Sherri Show,” read the caption.
Rowland reportedly walked out of a scheduled “Today” interview with Hoda Kotb last Thursday because the dressing room was not up to her standards. As a result, Rita Ora joined Kotb for the segment.
On Tuesday’s “Today” episode, Kotb confirmed that the R&B superstar bailed on her but clarified that no love is lost between her and Rowland.

“I just want to say this: I have great love and admiration for Kelly Rowland,” Kotba said on Tuesday’s show, TooFab reports. “I adore her and I want her to come back on our show and I want her to host again.”
Rowland appeared on “Sherri” to promote the Netflix film “Mea Culpa” in which she stars along with Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight, Birdbox, Bruiser) Sean Sagar (The Gentleman, The Covenant, Sistas), Nick Sagar (The Princess Switch Trilogy, Run the World), RonReaco Lee (Nappily Ever After, Coffee and Kareem).
Directed by Tyler Perry, the logline reads: “In the hopes of becoming partner, a criminal defense attorney (Rowland) takes on the case of an artist who may or may not have murdered his girlfriend.”
Meanwhile, MediaTakeOut reports that Rowland abruptly dropped out of her guest-hosting duties on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” Thursday because she is pregnant and became ill while in the cramped dressing room.
An insider explained to the outlet, “Kelly got sick while in the dressing room. It wasn’t about being a diva it was about her health.”
The tea spiller added, “I can’t say anything more on [her pregnancy] except that what the media is doing to Kelly is wrong.”
Netflix’s “Mea Culpa” premieres Friday.
