<p>The Cannes Film Festival 2024 might have wrapped up but the drama around security guards’ conduct vis-a-vis some celebrities on the red carpet continues to fuel some outrage on the internet. After Kelly Rowland snapped at a security guard as she was stopped from interacting with her fans and the paparazzi, the same security guard was embroiled in a similar altercation with Dominican actress Massiel Taveras who found herself in a similar situation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Massiel wasn’t the only one who felt she was belittled on the red carpet.&nbsp;K-pop idol YoonA too faced a similar situation as she was hurried indoors and was not given time to pose on the red carpet. While Massiel accosted the security guard after Kelly Rowland also had a major showdown, YoonA didn’t say much but it was visible from her facial expressions that she was miffed at the whole situation.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Same security guard in all three red carpet episodes</strong></h2>

<p>As soon as videos of the three landed on social media, netizens started linking all three episodes and found out that in all three the commonality was one security guard. Netizens soon called out the security guard as “racist” since she wasn’t seen rushing other celebrities indoors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the unversed, Massiel Taveras recently spoke about shoving a security guard on the red carpet who was attempting to rush her inside the building while she was trying to unfurl the long trail of her dress that featured the face of Jesus Christ. As the guard kept pushing her inside and didn’t let her pose, she shoved the guard inside in an attempt to make the most of her time on the carpet.</p>

Massiel Taveras gives a lesson in 'respect' after altercation with security guard on Cannes red carpet

<p>The security guard who was involved in a recent viral confrontation with Kelly Rowland at the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival is making headlines once again. This time, footage circulating on social media captures a heated exchange between the same female security guard and Dominican actress Massiel Taveras on the iconic red carpet.</p>

<p>The incident, which unfolded on the staircase of the Palais des Festivals, shows Taveras in a striking white gown with a long train. As Taveras moved up the red carpet, the security guard could be seen gesturing for her to proceed. Taveras, attempting to fan out the elaborate train of her dress, appeared to push the guard's arm away after a brief exchange of words.</p>

<p>The video, posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), captures the tension as the security guard continually tried to direct Taveras up the stairs. Taveras, visibly frustrated, pushed the guard’s arm away multiple times while exchanging heated words. Despite the interruption, Taveras managed to wave at fans before being urged again by the security guard to move along.</p>

<p>"The woman knows what happened. I know what happened," Rowland told the Associated Press. "I have a boundary, and I stand by those boundaries, and that is it."</p>

<p>Rowland also noted a discrepancy in treatment, stating, "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."</p>
