And while Rowland loves Beyoncé, she’s well-known for preferring not to speak on Beyoncé’s career.

Rowland was meant to appear as a co-host alongside Hoda Kotb in the show’s fourth hour.

But when the fourth hour began, Hoda was speaking to Rita Ora about her new bob, and Rowland was nowhere to be found.

Rita Ora quickly took over for Rowland, becoming the co-host for the hour.
The “Don’t Think Twice” singer revealed that before jumping on the show, she didn’t just style her hair, she chopped it all off!

There was plenty of speculation about what, exactly, caused Rowland to leave.

Some sources suggested it might be her dressing room.

But most fans preferred the Beyoncé theory.
What happened in her words…

During an interview with WGN News in Chicago, Rowland was asked directly about the controversy.

She was on the show to promote her new Netflix film, Mea Culpa.

The anchor asked her if she could clear up the situation that occurred on the ‘Today’ Show.

Sticking to her guns, Rowland pretty much refused to speak on the matter.

Rowland said she won’t speak on it because she wants to keep the attention on her upcoming film.

It seems, however, that the truth has been discovered.

It turns out, she really wasn’t happy with her dressing room.

Hoda and the ‘Today’ Show has invited Rowland back to co-host sometime in the future.
