[articletop]

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.

This incident follows closely on the heels of Rowland’s own encounter with the same guard, which has sparked widespread criticism. Rowland spoke about the incident in an interview with the Associated Press at the AmfAR Cannes Gala. Additionally, the security guard was seen rushing Korean star YoonA off the carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, further fueling the debate over the guard’s actions and intentions.

🤬 She is consistently weird towards women of color. She needs to be terminated immediately.

“The woman knows what happened, I know what happened, and I have a boundery, and I stand by those bounderies, and that is it! And there were other women who attended that carpet who did not quite look like me and they didn’t get scolded, or pushed off, or told to get off, and I stood my grounds” Kelly Rowland on her take of the red carpet incident.

However, some fans suggest that the security guard’s behavior may not be racially motivated. One fan commented, “I don’t think it’s a race thing. Cause she did it with this model also, I just think she’s horrible at her job and taking it too far. They aren’t carrying weapons or a danger to anyone. No need for all this.”

She should be fired. I don’t think it’s a race thing. Cause she did it with this model also, I just think shes horrible at her job and taking it too far. They aren’t carrying weapons or a danger to anyone. No need for all this. https://t.co/HtaG3MomkB
