Dominican actress Massiel Taveras has taken to social media to express her frustration after an altercation with a security guard at the Cannes Film Festival. The incident occurred during Taveras' fashion showcase when a female usher appeared to rush her inside, preventing her from fixing her outfit.

A viral video of the incident shows the unidentified staffer putting her arm around Taveras' head and chest, causing the actress to retaliate by putting her hand in the woman's face. Interestingly, it turns out that this same employee had recently been reprimanded by singer Kelly Rowland for reportedly stepping on the train of her dress and touching her back while ushering her inside.

While Taveras did not directly address her own altercation, she posted a story on Instagram that referenced Rowland's incident, suggesting her support for the singer's response. The caption to the post read, "We need respect," accompanied by articles about Rowland's reaction to the situation.

The incident has sparked a discussion about the treatment of celebrities and the need for respect within the entertainment industry. Taveras' experience and her support of Rowland indicate that these issues are not isolated incidents.

The Cannes Film Festival organizers have not yet commented on the incident, but it raises concerns about the behavior of their security staff and the treatment of artists and performers attending the prestigious event.

As the video continues to circulate online, Taveras and Rowland's encounters with the same security guard have generated significant attention. It remains to be seen if this incident will lead to any changes in the way celebrities are handled at future events.

In the meantime, Taveras' message for respect resonates with many, highlighting the importance of maintaining professionalism and ensuring the well-being of everyone involved in the entertainment industry.
