Kelly Rowland<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s team is speaking out after the singer abruptly left the Today<\/em><\/a> show studio ahead of a planned appearance as a cohost.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 28 years of knowing her, Kelly Rowland remains one of the kindest, most amiable humans I have ever met and have had the blessing to represent,\u201d Rowland\u2019s rep, Yvette Noel-Schure<\/strong>, told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> in a statement on Tuesday, February 20.<\/p>\n

Rowland, 43, was interviewed on the Thursday, February 15, episode of Today<\/em> by Savannah Guthrie<\/strong>. With Jenna Bush Hager<\/strong> taking the day off, Rowland was set to cohost the fourth hour of the morning show with Hoda Kotb<\/strong>, but viewers instead saw Rita Ora<\/strong> joining Kotb, 59, during the 10 a.m. segment.<\/p>\n

Multiple outlets later reported that Rowland left the studio disappointed due to the size of her dressing room. Rowland has not addressed the incident herself, but Kotb cleared the air<\/a> during the Tuesday episode of Today<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bush Hager, 43, echoed her cohost\u2019s sentiments, adding, \u201c[Kelly] is welcome anytime. She\u2019s the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kotb even extended a more personal invitation to the former Destiny\u2019s Child singer, teasing, \u201cShe can share my dressing room. We\u2019ll be in it together!\u201d She emphasized her appreciation for Rowland once again, saying, \u201cI just want to say that we love her. We\u2019ve loved her on this show for many, many, many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Ora, 33, revealed via Instagram that she was tapped to guest host with Kotb just moments before the segment aired. She was initially scheduled to appear on the Friday, February 16, episode to promote her upcoming album and her role as a judge on The Masked Singer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, this happened! We had two minutes to prepare ahhh, thank you @hodaandjenna for asking me to co-host the show,\u201d she captioned her Instagram upload. \u201cEveryone was so lovely and kind, I had SO much fun doing it!! \ud83d\udc97\ud83d\udc97\ud83d\udc97 Love to everyone that tuned in, maybe we should do more??!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
