The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences offered its support to Teyana Taylor<\/a> after the “One Battle After Another<\/a>” star alleged she was shoved by security at the Oscars on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Video circulated online of what seemed to be the aftermath<\/a> of the incident, with an upset Taylor telling a man that he was “rude” for “putting your hands on a female.” She then told someone else that he “literally shoved me,” according to the clip circulating on social media. <\/p>\n

“Everybody is having a good time, but when you shove me, that’s a different story,” Taylor told a woman next to her in the video. <\/p>\n

The academy identified the person involved as a member of the outside security team hired for the awards ceremony. It has been made clear that the behavior is “unacceptable,” the academy said. <\/p>\n

In its statement, the academy thanked Taylor for her “remarkable grace” in the incident and added that it is taking measures to ensure it does not happen again.<\/p>\n

“We were extremely upset to learn about the experience endured by Teyana Taylor at the end of the Oscars ceremony last night,” the statement said. “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.” <\/p>\n

Taylor shared her gratitude to the academy on X.<\/p>\n

“I really appreciate your unwavering love & support,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

A representative for the security firm, Security Industry Specialists, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The security firm acknowledged a “brief” incident between a member of its team and Taylor in a statement to Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“During that interaction, there was incidental contact and we regret that the situation escalated,” the firm said. “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.” <\/p>\n

Taylor told TMZ on Sunday night<\/a> that security “was just doing a lot” but that she was fine and happy. <\/p>\n

“I think the first thing people do is definitely, you know, make assumptions,” Taylor said. “But at the end of the day I just don’t tolerate disrespect. Especially when it’s unwarranted and unprovoked.” <\/p>\n

Taylor was nominated Sunday night for the best supporting actress award but lost to “Weapons” star Amy Madigan. She still had an opportunity to get onstage at the ceremony as “One Battle After Another” took home the Oscar for best picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences offered its support to Teyana Taylor after the “One Battle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-334812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
