Watch: Cannes security guard moves Dominican actor Massiel Taveras off the red carpet, sparks outrage

The video also captures Taveras upset as the security guard is not allowing her to pose. The moment she reaches the top of the stairs and turns around to wave, the security guard holds her shoulder and tries to turn her around. As the guard comes too close, Taveras can be seen pushing her away.

Shared by a handle @PopCrave on X, the video garnered over 23.2 million views as several social media users slammed the security guard over her behaviour. Reacting to the video, a user commented, “That security guard is clearly misogynistic and anti poc, let’s wake that tea up.” Another user wrote, “Such a weird behaviour from the security guard.”

“Does this mean the Cannes Film Festival allows and approved of this type of behaviour from security, particularly this same security lady who gave Kelly Rowland the same treatment?” a third user wrote.

On May 23, a video of Kelly Rowland speaking sternly to the same security guard on the Marcello Mio premiere day emerged on social media. “The woman knows what happened. I know what happened. I have a boundary, and I stand by those boundaries, and that is it. And there were other women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me, and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off. I stood my ground, and she felt like she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground,” Rowland told the Associated Press.
