The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is "extremely upset" after Teyana Taylor had a physical altercation with a security guard.

The One Battle After Another star - who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars on Sunday (15.03.26) - was furious after a member of Security Industry Specialists appeared to stop her getting back on stage after the movie won Best Picture at the end of the ceremony.

In a statement, the Academy has said: "We were extremely upset to learn about the experience endured by Teyana Taylor at the end of the Oscars ceremony last night...

"We have worked with Teyana over the last several months during awards season, and she has been nothing short of remarkable, supportive, kind, and all about community.

"Though the incident was with our outside security firm SIS, the experience of every single guest is our responsibility. We have made it clear to them that this behaviour is not acceptable.

"We want to thank Teyana for showing remarkable grace, and we are taking the appropriate measures to ensure this does not happen again."

Meanwhile, SIS has also issued its own statement and vowed to make sure the incident is not repeated.

They told TMZ: "This is not the standard of professionalism we expect from our team, and we have addressed the matter internally to help ensure situations like this do not happen again."

Teyana, 35, was seen in footage blasting a security guard for putting his hands on her as she tried to move through the crowd backstage after being up with her co-stars to accept the Best Picture prize.

In the video, she can be seen shouting: "You're a man putting his hands on a female... You're very rude. You're very rude. You're very rude."

Teyana explained to a concerned onlooker: "He put his hands on a female."

She claimed: "He literally shoved me. He was damn near shoving her."

In the clip, Teyana told people around her: "Do not touch me, do not shove me, do not push me."

When asked about the moment, she told TMZ: "Everybody's having a good time, and security was just doing a lot. There's always that one.

"There's nothing to wonder.

"The first thing people do is make assumptions, but at the end of the day, I just don't tolerate disrespect, especially when it's unwarranted and it's unprovoked."

Meanwhile, Teyana has also hit out at her critics after she was seen jumping to her feet and wildly applauding after Amy Madigan was named Best Supporting Actress for her performing in Weapons, while the other losing nominees appeared much more subdued.

Taking to X, she fired back: "The world holds so much misery that miserable hearts forget the face of happiness.

"They grow comfortable being sore losers, so when they see real sportsmanship it unsettles them! like holy water touching a demon.

"Because clapping for someone else's victory requires something many people never learned…how to win with grace [and] pure joy, and how to lose with grace, chin up [and] dignity."
