In May 2024, Dominican actress Massiel Taveras was at the center of a tense moment on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in France during the premiere of The Count of Monte Cristo.
Taveras was wearing a white dress with a long train featuring a large image of Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns, but when she tried to spread it out in front of the cameras, a security guard hurried her along so she would keep moving forward.
The exchange went viral and sparked debate, especially because the same staff member had already had an altercation with Kelly Rowland days earlier.
