Security Firm Speaks Out On Oscars Confrontation With Teyana Taylor

“The official soda of Boca Raton” “The official soda of Boko Haram, Frank”

Jay McCarrol didn’t deserve that

And then stand up comedian was attacked and the slapped host came on stage a d shouted "shit was that.." Looking around for him. Lol Will got a standing ovation if I remember rightly

That award recipient went home to celebrate with his wife and woke up with the taste of August rain in his mouth

Strawman argument

Actions had consequences that night.

I know when I’m crashing a high-profile/security event, I make sure I’m: in $150k worth of dress, heels & jewels, with a security team, my face is plastered on tons of posters & billboards, Benicio Del Toro just high-fived me, Beyoncé has me on speed-dial, and I’m dragging a truck-load of awards behind me.

Protip: you don't have to know who is a nominee and who isn't if you treat everyone with respect.

Blew the budget on Conan and spent the remainder on the cheapest rent a cop firm they could find?

Or the contact was incidental but the interacrion by the personal after the contact was unprofessional.

Very little context from what I'm reading. I've worked security, and I've also worked at many event and concert venues in other capacities. I can tell you with confidence that it could be either one of them started it, or neither of them really did anything but the reaction caught the media's attention. Something small and not concerning can easily be misinterpreted. Either way the media is probably jumping on this $DRAMA$ so prepared to see more posts about it let's just ignore this nothing story. unless thre's video showing an aggressor. EDIT hey look there is video but only of her reaction. I'm a bit surprised that they got such a clear and full shot of her reacting in the moment, in a crowded room with cameras out, but no footage of anything in the moment...

That’s right. Why were there no other black people there. The one black person in the area and of course they’re trying to stop her. Don’t they know who she is. I am surprised they let even one black person at the Oscar’s cause racism.

>She's pretty well known Honey, she's been in one movie anyone has actually seen, im sorry your queen got disrespected but to act like she's well known is ridiculous lmaoo

There's nothing suggesting it has anything to do with either. In fact there is so much context missing that without video, I don't care. It sounds like a nothing story. Haven't worked many, many concerts and events in different capacities both attendees and security can get in over their heads and then start blaming each other. the media jsut wants to feed on the drama

please tell us more.

But it's ok to ignore aggression against Asians? 

Did you not read the article? The security guard tried to prevent her from taking a picture on stage with the rest of the cast of *One Battle After Another*. The Academy also called out the security firm and now the firm is issuing a statement trying to save face.

It was security’s job to keep her safe from assaults like the one security committed.

She was returning to the stage to take a cast picture after the film, for which her own performance also got a nomination, won Best Picture. It was indeed unprofessional and disrespectful to treat her like that.

You’re excusing the officer’s unprofessional conduct?

No, let's talk about it. And your dismissive attitude is obnoxious.

Reel in that bait, no one's biting

More than likely, the people who joined an entertainment sub. You’re welcome to mute it. It’ll save everyone from having to read your whining.

You do, you read it enough to warrant commenting on it... Instead of just scrolling on by and not clicking the thread.

This person is a racist.

Huh, where did I hear that before…
