An incident at the end of the 98th Oscars involving One Battle After Another star and Best Supporting Actress nominee Teyana Taylor and a security guard has gotten the attention of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The altercation involved an employee of the Oscars’ outside security firm Security Industry Specialists. According to TMZ, Taylor was attempting to get back onstage for a group photo after her One Battle won Best Picture, the night’s final award, when she was physically stopped by a guard.
Footage from the incident showed Taylor turning around and speaking presumably to the guard, saying, “He’s putting his hands on a female.” She gestured to him, adding, “You’re very rude, very rude, very rude.” She turned to another guest and was heard saying, “He literally shoved me.”
The Academy sent out a statement addressing the incident Monday.
