They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving [Kotb] without a guest host for the 10 a.m.
hour,” one source claimed. Reps for “Today” declined to comment when contacted by The Post. We have also contacted Rowland’s reps.

It’s not fresh flowers, and candles and gourmet food. It’s basically [a] white box,” one source shared.Rowland’s entourage apparently asked about a green room upstairs because “they didn’t like the one she was in,” but Jennifer Lopez was already occupying that space. “Today” producers allegedly tried to accommodate Rowland with several other options, including multiple talent dressing rooms and some much larger utility makeup and hair areas.“They didn’t want that.
