After a video went viral showing her rowing with a security guard at this year's Academy Awards, Teyana Taylor has spoken out.

The clip in question was filmed at Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre on Sunday (15 Mar), with 35-year-old Taylor attending with her One Battle After Another cast-mates, Leonardo DiCaprio and Regina Hall.

The comedy action-thriller had been nominated for a staggering 13 accolades, with Taylor put up for Best Supporting Actress.

Though it would be Amy Madigan that walked away with the golden trophy for her role in whacky horror Weapons, Taylor did receive the opportunity to ascend to the stage with One Battle After Another winning Best Picture.

Sadly, however, the New York-born star's evening may have been somewhat tainted by an altercation she later endured with a security guard.

In footage that quickly spread online, Taylor appeared to be yelling at another individual off-camera, who had reportedly shoved her.

She could be heard telling him: "Because you're a man putting your hands on a female! You're very rude. You're very rude."

Taylor also told other attendees standing nearby: "Because he's putting his hands on a female! He literally shoved me... Do not shove me. Do not touch me. Do not push me."

Another woman agrees, 'That was uncalled for,' to which Taylor adds again, 'Very rude.'

The movie star later caught up with TMZ, where she discussed the bust-up but insisted it's now 'all good'.

"Everybody's having a good time and security was just doing a lot," she explained. "There's always that one. But everything's fine. I'm happy."

After a journalist told her they'd been 'wondering' what happened, Taylor added: "I mean, there's nothing to wonder."

She continued: "I think 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 it's unprovoked, you know what I'm saying?"

A member of the theatre's in-house security team also addressed the incident.

Speaking to PEOPLE, a representative of Security Industry Specialists Inc recalled: "There was a brief interaction involving Ms Taylor and a member of our security team during the show last evening.

"Our security personnel were working to manage a crowded area and ensure the safety of all guests."

They added: "During that interaction, there was incidental contact and we regret that the situation escalated. 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."

In another statement shared by The Academy, a spokesperson for the ceremony claimed they were 'extremely upset to learn about the experience endured by Teyana Taylor at the end of the Oscars ceremony last night'.

They went on to add: "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."

Taylor later responded to the team's apology, writing on X: "Thank you to @TheAcademy I really appreciate your unwavering love & support."
