Hoda Kotb speaks out after Kelly Rowland leaves the set of the Today show


Hoda Kotb speaks out after Kelly Rowland leaves the set of the Today show

Hoda Kotb has spoken out after Kelly Rowland reportedly left the set of the Today show.

Last week, the Destiny’s Child star was scheduled to guest host the Today Show, but it was later reported that she had resigned from the hosting job because she was not provided with appropriate wardrobe.

On Tuesday’s episode of “Today With Hoda and Jenna,” co-host Hoda explained that she really wants Kelly back on the show despite the alleged drama.

“I just want to say one thing: I have great love and admiration for Kelly Rowland,” said Hoda, 59. “I adore her and I want her to come back on our show and I want her to host again.”

Hoda’s co-host Jenna Bush Hager added that the Survivor singer is “always welcome,” adding, “She’s the best.”

“Of course she is, of course she is!” cried Hoda. “She can share my dressing room, we will be in it together.”

The journalist added: “But having said that, I just want to say that we love her, we have loved her for many, many years on this show.”

Kelly reportedly canceled his role as host of the show on Thursday because the dressing rooms “were not up to par.”

“Kelly and her team were not happy,” a source familiar with the incident told Page Six. “They didn’t like the dressing room, so they decided to take her off the show, leaving Hoda without a guest host at 10 a.m.”

Rita Ora, who was scheduled to perform on the show later that day, stepped in for Kelly.
