The 77th Cannes Film Festival has been embroiled in controversy after videos of actresses involved in confrontations with one French security guard on the red carpet went viral this week.
Actresses Kelly Rowland, Massiel Taveras and Yoon-ah (known as Yoona) had confrontations with the same female security guard on the red carpet.
The security guard initially made headlines after she was captured in a confrontation with Rowland last week. In a circulating video, Rowland is seen being forcefully led up the stairs by the security guard.
“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. I stood my ground, and she [the security guard] felt like she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground,” Roland said about the altercation.
