Kelly Rowland's 'Dirty Laundry' Video Debuts With Destiny's Child Alum Crying While Singing

Kelly Rowland Breaks Down Crying

Kelly Rowland released the music video to her single "Dirty Laundry" on Monday.

The video shows Rowland in a vulnerable state, lying in the fetal position in a pool of water, crying as she sings, and feuding with a boyfriend. The track is an emotional one for the Destiny's Child alum as she discusses a past abusive relationship and comparing herself to the major success of her friend and bandmate Beyonce. Take a look at the video to "Dirty Laundry" above.

The music video isn't the first time that Rowland has cried while performing "Dirty Laundry." Rowland performed the single off of her "Talk a Good Game" album at a concert in Washington, D.C. in May, breaking down onstage as she sang. The 32-year-old singer began crying in the middle of her performance of "Dirty Laundry."

Released in June, Rowland's fourth studio album was well-received by critics. "Talk a Good Game" hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200, producing singles including "Dirty Laundry," "Kisses Down Low," and "Street Life."
