Teyana Taylor Confronts Man Who Shoved Her at the Oscars

Oscar-nominated actress Teyana Taylor, quite rightfully, won't tolerate any disrespect —especially on her big night.

The One Battle After Another actress, in a widely shared video on social media, appears to call out a man while leaving the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, following the end of the ceremony. In the video, the 35-year-old can be seen confronting the man for his inappropriate behavior.

While the dialogue isn't entirely clear from the viral videos, Taylor can be heard saying, "Because you're a man putting your hands on a female! You're very rude. You're very rude."

Later, the dancer and model can be seen telling people comforting her, "Because he's putting his hands on a female! He literally shoved me... Do not shove me. Do not touch me. Do not push me."

Teyana continues to speak in the video to those in her group, but much of it is inaudible. A woman next to her can be seen saying, "That was uncalled for," regarding the man, who is mostly off-screen.

In a subsequent statement to TMZ underlining that she was okay, Taylor told the tabloid,  "Security was just doing a lot ... There's always that one."

The actress narrowly missed out on the Best Supporting Actress award earlier in the night, with Weapons star Amy Madigan taking home the coveted golden statue. Taylor was the first to leap out of her seat and applaud her when the winner was announced. Previously, Taylor won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the Paul Thomas Anderson movie.
