“One Battle After Another” star Teyana Taylor had an argument at the Oscars with a man she claims shoved her. In a viral video, the best supporting actress nominee is seen scolding a man in a crowd of people.
“You’re a man putting your hands on a female,” she says in the video, then repeatedly tells the man that he’s “very rude.” She told someone next to her that “he literally shoved me” and “he damn near shoved” another woman.
“Everybody’s having a good time. But when you shove me, it’s a different story,” Taylor explains to a woman next to her. “Do not touch me, do not shove me.”
TMZ spoke with Taylor later in the night, and she explained that the man was a security guard but the situation is “all good.”
“Security was just doing a lot,” she said. “There’s always that one, but I’m perfectly fine. I’m happy. 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.”
Taylor lost the best supporting actress category to “Weapons” star Amy Madigan, but “One Battle After Another” was the big winner at the Oscars, taking home a leading six awards. The Paul Thomas Anderson film won best picture, director, casting, adapted screenplay, editing and supporting actor for Sean Penn. In addition to her Oscar nomination, Taylor also picked up supporting actress nods at the Actor Awards, BAFTAs, Critics Choice and won at the Golden Globes.
