Cannes Security Is Under Fire After Video Footage Shows Kelly Rowland Wasn’t The Only Star Mishandled At The Festival

Kelly Rowland’s attendance at the 77th Cannes Film Festival was notable for something more than her looking absolutely gorgeous as she walked the red carpet: her interaction with security.

Rowland had an altercation with one of the staff after she allegedly said something the singer felt was inappropriate.

The footage was filmed, and it left a lot of questions about what happened.

Rowland has since spoken about the security woman and her behavior, but new footage recently revealed that she was not the only celebrity to have an unpleasant encounter during the festival.

Dominican actress Massiel Taveras also had a heated interaction with a member of staff, and it appeared to be with the same security guard as Rowland.

What Happened With The Security Guard At The Cannes Film Festival

New footage of Massiel Taveras and the unnamed member of security from the Cannes Film Festival appears to show them in a heated exchange. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by ViralThingz, Taveras appears to shove the security and appears to be telling her not to touch her while she tries to pose for photos. Although there is no audio and the dialogue is unclear, you can clearly see the actress gesturing to the staff to give her some space.

There has been a strong reaction to the video, with fans commenting and tagging the official Cannes Film Festival X page. “@Festival_Cannes, the security guard who keeps putting their hands on people without cause, needs to be released immediately,” one comment reads. Another person shared similar thoughts, writing, “I don’t understand so, she hasn’t been fired?”

Others take issue with the way the footage was filmed. “Funny how they slo-mo’d the pushing part and not the part where the guard put her hands on her without invitation,” a comment reads. Another X user also weighed in, writing, “Every time that security guard tried to pull up the train when she was actively trying to display it had me shouting DON’T TOUCH THE F***ING DRESS alone in my living room.”

Kelly Rowland Reacts To What Happened At Cannes Film Festival

After the encounter between Kelly Rowland and the female staffer at the Cannes Film Festival went viral, Rowland responded to what had happened. “The woman knows what happened,” she said at the amfAR gals (via Sky News). “I know what happened. And, I have a boundary. And I stand by those boundaries, and that is it.”

She continued, “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 felt she had to stand hers, but I stood my ground, and that was it.” Although her comments are cryptic, it does suggest that whatever took place while on the red carpet was unacceptable. Now that there is not just one but two videos that have emerged featuring the same member of staff, the question has definitely been raised about what will happen to her job.

At the time of publication, it remains unclear whether the staff member will face disciplinary action because of her behavior at the event.
