Kelly Rowaland just went off on Jennifer Lopez and spilled the tea about how Jlo has been secretly sabotaging her for years now.
There have been rumors over the years about Jlo’s awful behavior and how she allegedly treats the people around her like garbage but no one expected Kelly Rowland of all people to also be a victim of Jlo’s behavior, especially since Kelly has done nothing but show her love.
Kelly was initially hesitant to go back and forth with her because we all know our good sis Kelly likes to stay out of drama but she isn’t planning on letting Jlo disrespect her either and she is now clapping back

On Thursday, Kelly planned to appear on the morning show as a guest host. In addition to promoting her new film, Mea Culpa, she was filling in for Jenna Bush Hager on Today with Hoda & Jenna. Page Six reports the singer “walked out” on the hosting gig because her dressing room “wasn’t up to par.” Sources claim Kelly wanted a green room upstairs, but it was already occupied.
Fans of the beloved baddie accused the show of playing in her face by giving Jennifer Lopez the best dressing room. Many comments believed the larger room should go to Kelly as the host of a full hour, instead of a guest for one segment.
Check out the real reason social media users suspect Kelly Rowland stormed out of guest hosting the Today Show after the jump!

Some criticized Kelly for doing the most, but her ride-or-die defenders claim, “She ain’t no (difficult) diva!” The “Motivation” singer has a reputation for being one of the sweetest and easiest celebs to work with. Insiders at Today added that everyone, including Hoda, loves Kelly. In the age of publicly problematic faves, Kelly typically doesn’t bother anybody.
Honestly shocking because when Kelly did my podcast in 2016 we recorded in an Ulta Beauty broom closet 😂

Sources claim JLo arrived before Kelly to promote her new album, This Is Me… Now, and the accompanying film, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. Kelly had no issue with her fellow singer-turned-actress in the room she wanted but “didn’t like the one she was in.” After sources say Kelly’s team played “musical dressing rooms” to make it work, Ms. Rowland had to roll out.
“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 Kotb] without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour,” a source reportedly told Page Six.
NBC’s studios are in the historic but very cramped Rockefeller Plaza. The location has some of the smallest and shabbiest dressing rooms in the TV industry. One source described them as “glorified closets.”
“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,” they continued.
Other comments clocked the real issue might be the show disrespecting Kelly’s work. While she appeared as a guest to discuss Mea Culpa, some of the hosts insisted on asking about Beyoncé and her new album. Even if Kelly would or could spill the tea about her BFF’s exciting new project, she has a film of her own to promote.
Rita Ora never misses a check or an opportunity, and she swooped in to fill Kelly’s spot at the last minute.
Neither representatives for Kelly Rowland nor the Today Show commented on the matter to Page Six.
Hopefully, this is the last time we hear about anyone playing with Kelly Rowland on camera or behind the scenes.
Jennifer Lopez has been widely criticized for her alleged rude behavior and diva antics. There have been numerous accusations against her, ranging from mistreating her staff and drivers to sabotaging others’ careers.
For instance, she supposedly demanded special treatment at a movie theater, going as far as to have a back entrance cleaned for her use while insisting on exclusive access to the theater.
She has also been accused of getting people kicked out of movie screenings so that only she and her family could attend, even after fans had purchased tickets.
Moreover, Lopez has faced allegations of sabotaging fellow celebrities like Kelly Rowland, reportedly influencing decisions that negatively impacted Rowland’s career opportunities.
This alleged behavior has sparked widespread criticism and even led to claims that she had TikTok accounts banned when users posted content criticizing her.
One instance involved a TikToker who allegedly had their account banned after criticizing Lopez, leading to financial hardship, especially affecting their ability to afford medical treatment.
Overall, these controversies have significantly damaged Lopez’s public image, culminating in poor ticket sales for her concerts and a general backlash against her perceived behavior in the industry.
