Fans are calling out the security at the Cannes Film Festival as racist following the viral footage of African American singer Kelly Rowland speaking sternly to a security guard. The controversy has deepened with a new video revealing that the same security guard was involved in another incident with Dominican actress Massiel Taveras.

The initial footage showed Rowland confronting the female security guard on the Marcello Mio premiere red carpet, making headlines. In the new video, the security guard can be seen trying to move Taveras along the Palais des Festivals staircase, leading to a physical exchange. Taveras, dressed in a white gown with a long train, was seen unfolding her dress on the carpet when the security guard intervened. The actress exchanged words with the guard, who kept her arm up, trying to corral her up the stairs. This led to Taveras pushing the guard’s arm away after their heated exchange.
