Jacqui Press told the MailOnline that after the security guard said something to the star, Kelly's mood changed as she responded: ‘Don’t talk to me like that‘
As the security guard continued to usher her up the stairs, Kelly turned around and exclaimed: ‘Don’t talk to me like that,’ as she repeated the phrase several times.
The male security guard then came down to ask what was being said as the lady was using her hands to move Kelly along.
Kelly finally turned around on the top step and added: ‘You still don’t talk to me like that!’
It seems internet sleuths managed to decipher the argument correctly as some came to the same conclusion as Jacqui.

One person theorised that she said: 'Don't talk to me like that. Don't talk to me like that. You're not my momma. I told you not to talk to me like that.'
Others mused: 'It was very clear Kelly Rowland was trying to take photos and they were rushing her then that security guard stepped on her dress and Kelly tried to correct her nicely and the security guard decided to be rude and Kelly said 'Don't talk to me like that';
