Michelle Williams Reveals Why She Missed Kamala Harris’ Rally With Beyoncé & Kelly Rowland

You can save those #PoorMichelle mentions for another day. Michelle Williams is speaking out about why she was missing from Kamala Harris’ Houston rally with Beyonce and Kelly Rowland, and it’s all because the singer was booked and busy.

Appearing on the Sherri show Tuesday, Williams explained that was stuck in New York, where she’s been starring in the Broadway musical, Death Becomes Her (the singer plays the role made famous by Isabella Rossellini in the 1992 cult classic film).

“I was so happy [for Beyonce and Kelly],” Williams said, confirming that she had originally wanted to join the two to reunite on the Houston stage. “It was the first time that I have not been able to be in person for something that I wanted to be at,” she said, adding that “it’s a sacrifice that we make [being] on Broadway.”

Still, Williams said she watched the rally afterwards and loved that Rowland and Knowles, “represented and held me down in their own way.”

It’s been exactly 20 years since Destiny’s Child released their last studio album, Destiny Fulfilled, which debuted at number two on the Billboard charts in November 2004. While fans have been clamoring for a reunion ever since, Williams says the three artists aren’t even in the same place geographically right now.

“They live in L.A. and I’m in Atlanta,” she explained, “and folks will see them out or paparazzi will get them at dinner and they like, ‘Where’s Michelle?’ I’m like ‘Y’all, we ain’t together all time time!’ she said.

Williams did reveal that the trio “are together more than people think.”

Death Becomes Her is currently in previews, with Williams’ run on Broadway officially opening November 21. The film-to-stage adaptation also stars Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard. Find tickets here.
