Footage captured at the event on Tuesday evening shows the former Destiny’s Child star getting into what appears to be a heated debate with a security guard.
In the video, the security guard holds up her arms to guide the singer as she’s walking up the stairs to a premiere of the film Marcello Mio and posing for photos during the walk up.
But the pair then begin to get into a heated exchange, as Rowland points her finger at the staff member and seems upset.
As they continue to move up the stairs, Rowland then turns around to direct a comment at the guard before she enters the theatre building.
Now the singer, 43, has broken her silence on the encounter, saying there were other women on the carpet who ‘did not quite look like me’ that didn’t get ‘scolded’.

She said: “The woman knows what happened. I know what happened. And, I have a boundary. And I stand by those boundaries and that is it.
“There were other women who attended that carpet, who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off.
"I stood my ground. And she felt she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground and that was it."
It comes after Rowland walked out of an appearance on the Today show in February, the reason for which is still not known.
