Another ugly scene happened on the Cannes red carpet as actress Massiel Taveras clashed with a female security guard who confronted Kelly Rowland days before.
HOW THE SPAT STARTED
The Dominican actress was on the red carpet on Saturday afternoon preparing to unfurl a huge gown with a depiction of Jesus on it, but appeared surprised to be stopped by the security guard.
Footage of the spat showed Taveras defy instructions and throw the train of her dress down the stairs, before the situation escalated to the actress shoving the female security guard as she walked into the event.
It came just days after the same guard was scolded by Rowland on the red carpet, which the Destiny’s Child implied was due to racism while the staffer’s colleagues insisted she was ‘only doing her job.’
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
In the video of Taveras’ confrontation, the actress seemed to plan to unravel her huge train down the steps, but was quickly stopped by the female security guard sticking out her arm.
As other staffers helped lay out the dress while Taveras waved to fans, she grew angry as the security guard kept her arm out in front of her posing.
The two exchanged a few words on the red carpet as staff pulled the train up the stairs, before Taveras took the end of the dress from another guard and threw it to the floor in frustration.
The female security guard kept her arm close to Taveras as she escorted her up the stairs, although it is unclear what the reason was for the guard to tail her so closely.
When she reached the top of the stairs, Taveras – who was previously crowned Miss Dominican Republic and competed at Miss Universe – struggled to unfurl the train of her dress.

This led her to berate the security guard when she tried to step in, throwing her arms up in frustration.
After the dress finally disentangled, Taveras waved to her fans – but the female security guard kept her arm across the actress, and appeared to jostle her towards the entrance.
That move sparked an angry reaction from Taveras as she shoved the security guard away from her, before sticking up her finger and scowling at her.
It is unclear why Taveras was confronted by the security guard, three days after the staffer also raised eyebrows with her spat with Rowland.
