Academy responds after Teyana Taylor's security mishap at 98th Academy Awards

The 98th Academy Awards was all about glamour, film, and fashion. But amidst all the good parts, Teyana faced something she didn’t expect at the Oscars. As the crowd gathered at the Dolby Theatre, apparently an unknown personality from the security staff, seems to have shoved the actress, which angered her terribly.

She had an outburst and called the man as, “very rude". She said, “You’re a man putting your hands on a female,” and added, “he literally shoved me,” and that he “damn near shoved” another woman.

This got the attention of the crowd, and things were immediately taken care of. However, after the event, the actress politely appreciated the security personnel who have been working super hard, but also stood her ground, stating she would never tolerate disrespect.

In a statement, Teyana said, “Everybody was having a good time, security was just doing a lot. There’s always that one, but I’m perfectly fine. I’m happy. I mean, there’s nothing to wonder. The first thing people do is definitely make assumptions. But at the end of the day, I just don’t tolerate disrespect, especially when it’s unwarranted and unprovoked.”

The security team of the academy, later addressing the incident, shared a statement and wrote, “There was a brief interaction involving Ms. Taylor and a member of our security team during the show last evening. Our security personnel were working to manage a crowded area and ensure the safety of all guests."

The statement continues, "During 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."

The Best Supporting Actress nominee sadly didn’t take home the honorary Oscars this time, but surely is set for bigger achievements in the future.
