Teyana Taylor was not letting anything ruin her Oscars night.
After the Best Supporting Actress nominee was shoved by a security guard, she addressed what really happened during the incident.
“It’s all good…I don’t think anyone was trying to stop my shine,” the One Battle After Another actress explained to TMZ in a March 15 interview. “Everybody’s having a good time and security was just doing a lot. There’s always that one, but I’m fine. I’m happy.”
“The first thing people do is make assumptions,” Teyana continued, “but at the end of the day, I just don’t tolerate disrespect, especially when it is unwarranted and it’s unprovoked.”
The incident occurred inside the Dolby Theatre when security approached Teyana as she attempted to walk on stage with Warner Bros. co-head Pamela Abdy to take a group photo, a witness told E! News.
In a social media video, Teyana confronted the guard, who she said shoved her: “You’re a man putting your hands on a female, you’re very rude.” E! News has learned the officer was subsequently relocated from his position inside the theatre.
