Teyana Taylor’s Shocking Confrontation with Security at the Oscars

Teyana Taylor got into a tense exchange with an unnamed security guard at the Oscars.

The moment was caught on camera and posted to X as Teyana told the guard off camera, "Because you're a man putting your hands on a female! You're very rude. You're very rude. You’re very rude."

She told guests around her, "Because he's putting his hands on a female! He literally shoved me... Do not shove me. Do not touch me. Do not push me.”

The moment reportedly took place after the Oscars as Teyana was moving toward the main stage to take a photo with her “One Battle After Another” team after the film won Best Picture.

Teyana later told TMZ, "Security was just doing a lot... There's always that one.”

She explained, “At the end of the day, I just don’t tolerate disrespect especially when it is unwarranted and unprovoked.”

The Academy later released a statement that said, "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."

The statement continued, "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."

The message ended with, "We want to thank Teyana for showing remarkable grace, and we are taking the appropriate measures to ensure this does not happen again."

Taylor was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “One Battle After Another."
