This made me curious. https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-cannes-guards-under-fire-for-mistreating-k-pop-idol-yoona-after-kelly-rowland-and-massiel-taveras-725557
shareIt's hilarious how entitled Americans scream about rahsizm, ignoring that video where she was physically attacking some white model. Because Americans can only see color of the skin of people and don't view them as real people. Because they are racists themselves. They just don't see that.
They see Kelly Rowland having beef with some woman and scream it's because racist and not because Kelly was not complying rules.
It's very obvious what happened. You can see that in full 1 minuted video of Kelly Rowland

There are too many people on the red carpet and they can't all stay there for hours like they do at American shows. So the rules are probably: "Get your pictures taken. Then go up the stairs and fack off - there are other people behind you".
And exceptions are only for big stars and cast of movies that in competition.
But they all want to stay on those stairs and wave for 5 minutes. Every d-lister. So security is told to block the pictures and gently move them the fack out by walking behind them.
At 18 seconds in Kelly video she is told to move, her pictures time went up. She follows. They all point to her where to go and not block pictures of other celebs. At 37 seconds she stops to wave and have her pictures taken at the stairs. Breaking rules. At which security blocks view with their hands to ruin pictures like they are told. Otherwise those c-listers will stay there forever.
Security woman tells her to move. At which point Kelly is like: "Don't talk to me like that. Do you know who I am? I was back up singer of Beyonce!"
To which security woman was like: "I don't give a fack, honey. Move".
We only see the end of Yoona video. But it's obvious she was doing the same - stopping to have her pictures taken on the stairs. And security did the same - blocking pictures with their hands.
But, it's part fashion show! The point of the celebs' attendance is to be seen including their clothes which give them more press and help promote their movies. Security is blocking the photographers from getting a good shot. No excuse for rushing anyone into building. Just give more time for the red carpet.
This is the Kelly footage. Your quote for Kelly is wrong. She said, "Don't talk to me like that! Don't talk to me like that! You're not my mother, I told you not to talk to me like that!" You can't see what the security woman says because her back is to the camera.:

Full Yoona video. She only briefly turned around.

Woman at :57 allowed to pose and show her train without a bum's rush:

They have time! They all take their shots on the ground. Video is not showing that. And then they have to make room for other people. I assume the rule about "hand" showed up because celebrities were ignoring pleas to not pose on the stairs. So they block with that hand to spoil picture.
Kelly Rowland Cannes bust-up: Colleagues defend usher against accusations of racism and insist she was 'only doing her job'
'She was an usher working under a lot of pressure to keep people on the carpet moving, so as to stop crowds building up,' said a Festival staff veteran, who has been working in the resort every May for 20 years.
'There was no pushing or shoving, or scolding,' he said. 'Security and safety are the priorities, along with keeping to strict timetables set according to contracts – even the celebrities have to stick to the rules.
'Lots of ushers are involved, and they always act professionally and with politeness.
'In this case, the usher was certainly only doing her job – she didn't do anything wrong.'
The usher has not been publicly identified, but she is known to be a local Frenchwoman on a short term contract with the week-long Festival.
The source added: 'Suggestions of racism are just ridiculous – visitors, and indeed staff at Cannes come from all kinds of backgrounds, and none are discriminated against.'
Another Cannes staffer who has studied the video of Tuesday's incident said Ms Rowland may have 'mistakely thought the usher stepped on her dress'.
In fact, this was not the case, and the usher did not physically touch Ms Rowland, or her clothes, at all.
'That's as clear as day – you just have to look at the video,' said the staff member. 'I think this might well have been just a misunderstanding.'
Festival officials refused to discuss security matters, but indicated that the usher was still on duty at the event, which ends on Saturday, and there was no inquiry or attempt to discipline anybody.
The white woman is posing on the carpet nearby with zero problem:

Of course, they are going to deny racism since they're self-unaware. Racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia are rampant in France which are ignored, condoned or even instigated by the government.
Kelly had no problem with the usher accidentally stepping on her dress. She was upset with being scolded:
"Kelly Rowland is speaking out about being “scolded” by an usher.. confirmed she was “told to get off” the carpet... women that attended that carpet who did not quite look like me and they didn’t get scolded or pushed off or told to get off."
"The Cannes Film Festival is known for its strict red carpet policies. It does not allow attendees walking the red carpet to take selfies or use their cameras. Ushers often hurry guests into the theater and don’t allow them to linger on the carpet."

Stop being racist.
And usher didn't step on her dress. You can see that on video. Kelly mistakenly thought it.
Americans are being taught to see racism everywhere and play victim. So Kelly did. She was the one who verbally attacked woman in another country who was just doing her job. Kelly is villain and aggressor.
You could see Yoona being gracious and walking off. No scene. Because she is South Korean. And they don't behave like spoiled entitled American celebrities.
That is not full Yoona video. She is half way up and keeps turning.
I was making fun of Kelly's words and paraphrasing. Was that not obvious?
Taveras video is hilarious. I'm sure she was told she can't pose on stairs. And she ignored that.
Woman at .57 is Cambodian actress Mean Sonyta who arrives for the screening of the film "Parthenope". So there goes "racist' theory.

The way they cleaned whole stairs for her - there had to be arrangement. Who knows - maybe some fashion house payed for their fancy dress to be shown. Maybe it was slow day with fewer people.
You can see security rushes her too.

Yoona is taking a very long time before the stairs to pose. Were other celebs allowed to do the same?
Taveras is fighting with her own dress. It is funny. She needed the same help that Mean Sonyta had.
"there goes "racist' theory. "
Not necessarily. She could pass for white. Anyway, a person could hate blacks and not Asians or hate them less.
Stop being racist. It's ridiculous.
shareYour denial of Kelly and other POCs right to express their concerns of their maltreatment is in itself racist.
Video clearly showing security ignoring the white women while manhandling Taveras.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL6qXL6eStQ
Stop being racist. It's ridiculous.
Again - stop being racist. It's amazing you don't see it.
You only see what you want to see because you are racist.
I showed you video of white woman being was physically attacked by same security. And you ignored it. Because it's doesn't fit into your racist theory. If that would be some black model - you would post in every post.
Americans like you destroyed word "racist". Because you are making up racism when it isn't there. And then no one believes it when one time it happens. Because everyone are used for fake cries.
Video with that Massiel Taveras is too hilarious. Whoever she is. Not even f-lister. Never heard of her.
https://x.com/LisaNwabia/status/1794590673490120782/video/2
So she wanted her stupid tail of the dress to hang from the stairs. And they were like: "LOL. No honey. Stairs is for walking for you. Not showing your stupid dress. Only DiCaprios and Kidmans can stay there and wave. You are f-lister. No one will allow you to stay here for 5 minutes, unfolding your stupid dress. Move".
To which Taveras was like" : " Do you know who I am? I'm popular in my country!'
And they ignored her and were taking her stupid tail and moving it. But bitch kept and kept trying to unfold her stupid dress. It's hilarious.
They left this unknown white woman on the steps for a very long time until she decided to poor "blood" on herself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMnX7BSSwRw
I see a double standard. And while security is rushing off the POC celebs, there are white celebs(?) on the stairs next to them being left alone in the other videos I posted.
Gonna double it here.
This woman is Cambodian actress Mean Sonyta who arrives for the screening of the film "Parthenope". So there goes "racist' theory.

A also saw video how white model was physically removed by same security. One time in one post. And then no one brings it because it ruins their racist agenda.
You see double standard because you want to see it. And it IS racist, I'm sorry. You ignore Cambodian actress, a woman of color who was allowed to pose and you only search and bring white people. And that makes you racist.
And your video is ONE YEAR OLD!!! Which you forgot to mention. It has nothing to do with this conversation. And she was physically removed 10 seconds after standing there. LOL. By same security woman I think.
Stop being racist.
The rule is more than one year old.
"A also saw video how white model was physically removed by same security."
Then, you should post it to support your argument.
Kelly and others weren't given 10 seconds.
"others" - you mean Cambodian actress, a woman of color who posed?
There you go. Same security. White woman was physically removed. NO ONE posts this video in articles.

Sorry to crash your theory. And again - stop being racist.
That didn't happened this year, you fool. It's probably one of the reasons they were so strict this year.
shareLol, I'm TOTALLY on the side of the security guard. What a bunch of entitled wannabees.
