The ‘RHONY’ alum called out Rowland on social media over her alleged diva antics.

“And then your dressing room is the size of a closet and you’re trying to fit all your people in the clown car. And you know what? You’re so excited. You’re so gracious.”
Frankel added, “You’re co-hosting on the ‘Today’ show, an institution in entertainment, a news organization that is not about fancy dressing rooms.”
The reality star recognized that the makeup area on the morning show “is completely communal” and the food is not that great, but said it should be “an honor” to be there alongside “Today” host Hoda Kotb.
“That was not the moment for diva expectations,” she concluded.
Frankel’s comments come after Page Six exclusively reported that Rowland, 43, had abruptly dropped out of her guest-hosting duties on “Today with Hoda & Jenna” Thursday because her dressing room wasn’t up to par.
“Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Kotb] without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour,” a source previously told us.
The Destiny’s Child singer’s exit left “Today” insiders baffled because, “She’s beloved at ‘Today.’ She was getting the full hour, and Hoda’s the biggest hype woman on the planet! It made no sense.”
Rowland’s team allegedly inquired about a green room upstairs because “they didn’t like the one she was in.” However, that room was occupied by Jennifer Lopez, who was there to promote her new album, “This Is Me… Now”, and her accompanying film project, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”
After the “Dilemma” singer refused to co-host, Rita Ora was able to fill in for her.
This seems quite bizarre that Kelly would walk off the Today Show over something as small as a dressing room, especially when this isn't the first time Kelly has been at the Today Show.
I truly believe there's more to the story than we know, and instead of Bethenny asserting her two cents per usual, I need for Kelly to speak out about this and defend her reputation.
I saw people online were blaming Jennifer Lopez because the day Kelly was supposed to co-host, JLo was there promoting her new album.
I do not believe La Lopez is at fault here. These are clearly misogynists who just want to start a fight between two women. If Kelly would have gotten there earlier she would have gotten the green room.
