Viral Clip Shows Teyana Taylor Clocking Man
As mentioned, the internet learned of the heated moment after a clip from X account @MattWallace888 circulated. The viral video has over 1.9 million views on X as of Monday morning, more than 1,300 replies and over 17,000 likes.
In it, Teyana Taylor is heard telling the unidentified man and onlookers that he shoved her. She also calls him “very rude” several times while pointing in his direction.
“You’re a man putting your hands on a female,” the ‘One Battle After Another’ star says in the viral clip.
Another woman near Teyana is heard saying, “…uncalled for” and afterwards gently grabs Taylor’s pointing hand. TT then explains to another woman near her why she popped off, saying, “Everybody’s having a good time. But when you shove me, it’s a different story…Do not touch me, do not shove me.”

Teyana Explains Why She Popped Off
Later in the evening, TMZ caught up with TT. She was open about her reason for sounding off on the security guard, clarifying that everything was “all good.”
“Security was just doing a lot,” Teyana Taylor said. “There’s always that one, but I’m perfectly fine. I’m happy. There’s nothing to wonder. The first thing people do is definitely make assumptions. But at the end of the day I just don’t tolerate disrespect, especially when it’s unwarranted and unprovoked.”
Taylor Didn’t Win First Oscar, But ‘One Battle After Another’ Cleared

Meanwhile, the film itself came in with 13 nominations, and by the end of the night had won six. ‘One Battle After Another’ cleared in the ‘Best Picture,’ ‘Best Director,’ ‘Best Casting,’ ‘Adapted Screenplay,’ ‘Editing’ and ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for Sean Penn.
