Their dissatisfaction stemmed from an interview that aired prior to her tour. During the interview, Guthrie asked singer and actress Kelly Rowland about her upcoming Netflix film, \u201cMea Cupla.\u201d But it wasn\u2019t just about the movie.<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie brought up Rowland\u2019s close friend, Beyonc\u00e9, and former member of the girl group Destiny\u2019s Child. Fans felt that it was disrespectful to focus on Beyonc\u00e9 during an interview about Rowland\u2019s own work. One fan even took to social media, expressing their frustration and stating, \u201cVery disrespectful to ask\u2026 [Rowland] about Beyonc\u00e9 every freaking time she comes on your show.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\">\n<p>Fans were further frustrated by Guthrie\u2019s insistence on getting more information about Beyonc\u00e9, making it feel like she was prying into Rowland\u2019s personal life instead of focusing on her career and the film she was promoting.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mea Culpa | Official Trailer | Netflix\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-p0g9YfjJSA?feature=oembed\" width=\"1250\" height=\"703\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>While it\u2019s still up for debate whether Guthrie\u2019s questions were disrespectful or not, it\u2019s clear that many fans of the \u201cToday\u201d Show were not happy with how the interview was conducted. This incident has sparked discussions about interview etiquette and the importance of respecting the boundaries of the interviewee.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-22\"><\/div>\n<p>Although Guthrie\u2019s absence from the show may not be directly related to the interview backlash, it\u2019s evident that her actions have had an impact on the show\u2019s dedicated viewers.
