Hoda Kotb decided to address the drama from last week regarding Kelly walking off from guest-hosting The Today Show over dressing room issues, which resulted in Rita Ora stepping in as a last minute

Do you guys think Kelly was overreacting and displaying extra entitled behavior or that her concerns were legit? I feel like rich people are super extra about things like this but you never know.

Possibly a little from both columns. The today show has HILARIOUSLY tiny dressing rooms. Even Hoda's dressing room is a glorified closet. With that beings said, one has to have their feet on the ground a bit if it's you versus JLO for the best dressing room. Her people should have known right away when they showed up that Kelly was gonna be number two no matter what that day.

Don't make excuses. The fuck.

Kelly clearly thinks she is more famous aka "important" than she is.

It is Beyoncé ranking in $500 million tours, not her.

She was on Sherri Shepherd's show and some IG commentators were like "she must've given her a nice room for her to show up" to which Sherri replied " “oh we gave her a gorgeous room!❤. It is Kelendria Rowland🔥🔥🔥.” LOOOOOOOOOL!!

The former.

She ain't Beyoncé but she thinks she is.

Edit:

Struck a nerve with this one. I don't actually think that. I was just being a snarky asshole. 🤷

Kelly's been in the industry 25+ years and has never had a reputation as a diva as far as I know. I looked it up on IMDb and she's been on the Today show 11 times as both a guest and a 4th hour co-host so she obviously knows what the dressing room situation is like. Also, why would she suddenly have an issue with her dressing room after doing the 8 am hour spot? It's giving NBC spin and damage control.

A host on a Canadian talk show called The Social says she’s friends with someone who works at Today. The friend said that because Kelly was booked as a co-host, she had it in her contract that she’d get the preferred dressing room (she needed the bigger space for her glam team). Then she showed up and jlo was in the room.

That coupled with the OT interview questions is probably what set her off.

And I think Rita Ora leaked the story to make herself look like even more of a hero.

So basically what all the rumors have been saying.

Sucky situation for Kelly but also I'm not surprised they gave the preference to the bigger celeb looool!!

Eh. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes. Maybe producers were being petty and gave her a bad room and Kelly was over the disrespect the producers have shown her time and time again and stormed off?!
