A security guard who was recently called out for similar antics in Cannes has reportedly targeted K-pop idol Yuna with racist behavior. Just days after the red carpet confrontation between Kelly Rowland and Dominican actress Maciel Taveras, the guard reportedly targeted Yuna, making it difficult for her to interact with the cameras. Fans believe the security guard really has a problem with some “colored women” posing on the stairs.
Yoona was stopped from posing on the Cannes red carpet
Girl’s Generation’s Yoona looked stunning in a pink gown at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in Paris and flaunted her impeccable beauty on the red carpet. Although her appearance happened just a few days ago, this video surfaced after Kelly Rowland clashed with the female guards present at the event. The former Destiny’s Child member later opened up about the incident and even linked it to something related to race. Now, fans have found another video showing Yoona behaving in a similar way. Although the South Korean celeb didn’t express her anger, her facial expressions clearly looked upset and uncomfortable.

The K-pop idol turned actress tried to pose on the steps of Cannes but was turned away by female staff who gave her just a few moments to pose while other American artists at the time posed for longer periods of time. Fans immediately pointed out the ‘mistreatment’. This feeling grew when another actress Mycial Taveras also faced a similar fate and was recorded pushing a female guard who was not letting her open her dress to show the work of Christ on it.
Maciel Taveras caught in a heated debate in Cannes
Dominican actress Maciel Taveras, who walked the red carpet in a white gown with a long train with a Christ photo, got into a heated exchange with the same security guard involved in Kelly Rowland and Yuna’s incident. Taveras can be seen in the video struggling with the female security guard, who is trying to stop her from moving her train and posing for photographers. When she reaches the top step, Taveras waves goodbye to the audience before pushing the guard, who was trying to escort her into the building.
Rowland opens up about Cannes incident
After Kelly’s video went viral on social media, the singer opened up about her heated exchange with the guard. In an interview with AP, the artist said, “The woman knows what happened. I know what happened and I have boundaries, and I stand by those boundaries, and that’s it.” She added, “And there were other women who were on that carpet who didn’t look exactly like me, and they weren’t scolded or pushed or told to get off. I stood my ground, and she felt like she should have stood her ground, but I stood my ground.”
