Actress Massiel Taveras gets into heated argument with security guard on the red carpet in Cannes, video goes viral – Republic World

Actress Massiel Taveras recently walked the red carpet at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, but her experience did not go as planned. Several videos of Taveras have circulated online, showing her in a heated argument with a security guard at the film festival, even pushing the security guard away.

Massiel Taveras' video from Cannes goes viral

In the widely shared video, Taveras is seen climbing Cannes' famous red steps in a black dress with a white cape. The dramatically long walk leads to an image of Jesus. However, guards and organizers in Cannes prevented her from posing on the steps and instead insisted that she enter the theater.

Despite her efforts, Taveras did not let up and tried to scatter her trail on the steps so that the paparazzi could have a full view of her dress. The guards continued to block her, and one guard detained her and escorted her up the stairs. This confrontation escalated and Taveras, visibly frustrated, pushed the guard aside and got into a heated argument.

Internet users react to Massiel Taveras' video

Netizens criticized Cannes organizers for their treatment of Taveras and called for the security guard to be removed. They also noted that this was the same security guard who was involved in an altercation with Kelly Rowland in Cannes a few days earlier. Some speculated that Taveras' Jesus dress may have been the reason for the guards' actions, as it could potentially hurt religious sentiments and draw negative attention to the festival.

An official statement from the Dominican actress regarding the incident is still pending.
