The two have been incredibly supportive of one another over the years, though, attending events and premieres for one another at every chance.

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.
