The security firm that employed a guard accused of shoving actress Teyana Taylor at the Oscars has defended its actions, stating that the contact was "incidental" but did not meet the company's "standard of professionalism". The incident occurred after Taylor, the Oscar-nominated star of "One Battle After Another," confronted the guard for putting his hands on her after the ceremony. The security firm, Security Industry Specialists, confirmed that the guard had attempted to block Taylor from returning to the stage for a victory photo with the cast. The Academy expressed disappointment over the incident and is taking measures to prevent future incidents.
