Cape Town - Diana Ross has opened up about being "violated" during an airport screening on Sunday, Daily Mail reports.

In a series of tweets, the 75-year-old songstress said the experience left her "wanting to cry".

After performing at the Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans, where she claims she was "treated like royalty", she had a different experience at the airport.

"OK so on one hand I’m treated like royalty in New Orleans and at the airport I was treated like s**t," she posted.

"Let me be clear, not the people or Delta but TSA, was over the top!! Makes me want to cry!!! Its not what  was done but how, I am feeling violated - I still feel her hands between my legs, front and back (saying to me it her job,) wow!! Really mixed emotions I always like to see the good things but not feeling good right now [sic]."

A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spokesperson, Mark Howell, said in a statement after the allegations that the agency is "investigating", but after its initial video review it "indicates all protocols were followed".

He added that the agency is "committed to treating all travellers with respect and courtesy".

However, later Diana seemed to be in a much better mood as she posted a video of her performance in New Orleans.

"I’m feeling better, it took a minute," she captioned the video that showed her performing in front of a packed crowd.
