Teyana Taylor Calls Out Oscars Security Guard After Alleged Shove: ‘You’re Very Rude’

Teyana Taylor’s Oscars night took a tense turn after a heated encounter. In a video circulating on social media, the Best Supporting Actress nominee can be seen scolding someone off camera, calling them out for being a “man putting his hands on a female.” “You’re very rude,” Teyana repeatedly stated as a woman nearby can be heard telling the person, “Yeah, that was uncalled for.” Teyana then vocalizes her frustration to another woman, explaining, “Because he’s putting his hands on a female. He literally shoved me.” The “One Battle After Another” star seemed to have moved on from the confrontation by the time she left the ceremony, explaining in an interview with TMZ that despite what she felt was an aggressive approach from security staff, she is perfectly fine and happy. The Academy responded to the incident in a statement on March 16 which read, “We were extremely upset to learn about the experience endured by Teyana Taylor at the end of the Oscars ceremony last night. We have worked with Teyana over the last several months during awards season, and she has been nothing short of remarkable, supportive, kind, and all about community. Though the incident was with our outside security firm SIS, the experience of every single guest is our responsibility. We have made it clear to them that this behavior is not acceptable. We want to thank Teyana for showing remarkable grace, and we are taking the appropriate measures to ensure this does not happen again.”
