The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is \u201cextremely upset\u201d after an incident with a security guard and actress Teyana Taylor took place towards the end of the ceremony.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were extremely upset to learn about the experience endured by Teyana Taylor at the end of the Oscars ceremony last night,\u201d the Academy said in a statement to media. \u201cWe 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.<\/p>\n
The \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d actress was physically blocked from getting to the stage for a Best Picture photo by a security guard, which led to a viral confrontation between the guard and the actress where she called him \u201crude.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Academy added Monday: \u201cThough 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the clip below, Taylor can be seen bustling alongside Warner Bros. Pictures Co-Chief Pam Abdy, who said, \u201cThat was uncalled for,\u201d as Taylor reprimands the man for \u201cputting your hands on a female.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to TMZ, \u201cOur sources say the guard used his body to block Taylor and put his hands on her, trying to physically hold her back and push her away from the stage to prevent her from getting past him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The security company, Security Industry Specialists, Inc. also issued a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a brief interaction involving Ms. Taylor and a member of our security team during the show last evening,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cOur security personnel were working to manage a crowded area and ensure the safety of all guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
Security Industry Specialists added: \u201cDuring that interaction, there was incidental contact and we regret that the situation escalated. This is not the standard of professionalism we expect from our team, and we have addressed the matter internally to help ensure situations like this do not happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the incident, TMZ<\/a>\u00a0ran into Taylor who said, \u201cIt\u2019s all good.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody\u2019s having a good time and you know, security was just doing a lot,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI\u2019m proud, I\u2019m happy. There\u2019s nothing to wonder. The first thing people do is definitely make assumptions, but at the end of the day, I just don\u2019t tolerate disrespect \u2014 especially when it\u2019s unwarranted and unprovoked.\u201d<\/p>\n On Monday, Taylor took to X<\/a> to thank the Academy for supporting her: \u201cI really appreciate your unwavering love & support.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Academy \u2018Extremely Upset\u2019 After Security Stopped Teyana Taylor From Getting to Oscars Stage<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is \u201cextremely upset\u201d after an incident with a security guard…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[458,146,85,46,66221,167786,6621,167785,109192],"class_list":["post-343283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-security-guard","tag-security-industry-specialists","tag-teyana-taylor","tag-teyona-taylor","tag-the-academy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
