Last week, Kelly Rowland was the subject of a viral incident. She was attending a film premiere at Cannes and trying to make her way down the film festival’s red carpet. While she was stopped posing for photos, one of the ushers employed by the festival tried to rush her off her spot and up the stairs inside. When she tried to get someone’s attention back outside, she even had her view blocked by waving hands as she was forced inside. The interaction was captured on video from a few different angles and went viral immediately. Fans called out festival security for their behavior and came to Rowland’s defense.
Now the specific security guard at the center of the incident is being sued. Following Rowland’s viral interaction fans dug up other instances of her with other attendees. One of them was Sawa Pontyjska, who was named Miss Europe 2023. She shared her interaction with the security guard on TikTok complaining directly about the way she was treated. Now that specific interaction is at the center of a new harassment lawsuit filed by Pontyjska. “I always dreamed of getting into the Cannes Film Festival, but then I was shocked about rudeness and unreasonable use of physical force, which I experienced on the red carpet with other international stars,” she said in a video explaining the lawsuit. Check out the full details of her newly filed lawsuit below.
