Leonardo DiCaprio Reacts to ‘One Battle After Another’ Costar Chase Infiniti's Oscars Snub
Teyana Taylor was not letting anything ruin her Oscars night.
After the Best Supporting Actress nominee was shoved by a security guard, she addressed what really happened during the incident.
“It’s all good…I don’t think anyone was trying to stop my shine,” the One Battle After Another actress explained to TMZ in a March 15 interview. “Everybody’s having a good time and security was just doing a lot. There’s always that one, but I’m fine. I’m happy.”
“The first thing people do is make assumptions,” Teyana continued, “but at the end of the day, I just don’t tolerate disrespect, especially when it is unwarranted and it’s unprovoked.”
The incident occurred inside the Dolby Theatre when security approached Teyana as she attempted to walk on stage with Warner Bros. co-head Pamela Abdy to take a group photo, a witness told E! News.
In a social media video, Teyana confronted the guard, who she said shoved her: “You’re a man putting your hands on a female, you’re very rude.” E! News has learned the officer was subsequently relocated from his position inside the theatre.
Thankfully, the rest of the March 15 ceremony was not one battle after another for Teyana, 35, who took home a Golden Globe this season. Though she lost in her category to Amy Madigan, Teyana was ecstatic to celebrate the 75-year-old’s first Oscar win, leaping out of her seat to applaud the Weapons actress.

And later when Paul Thomas Anderson won Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture for One Battle After Another, Teyana was his no.1 cheerleader—though she did hilariously pull him in for a headlock on the way up to the stage.

“He already knew the headlock was coming,” Teyana told Variety at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party. “We kind of took it back to Critics Choice and I told him like, ‘Listen, when you get that Best Picture, I’m telling you now, I’m gonna get you a helmet.’ Because I’m such a sports girl. I’m like, ‘Yeah!’”
