Dominican actress Massiel Taveras starred in a tense moment on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival when she was reprimanded by a security guard for taking her time to adjust the train of her dress, adorned with an image of Jesus Christ.
The incident has been taken by Taveras as an opportunity to highlight his faith and the ability to transform obstacles into blessings.
In his words, Taveras celebrates divine strategy and publicity, recognizing the virality of the event as a blessing in disguise and paying tribute to the wisdom of Jehovah
A brush with security
Videos of the altercation show Taveras trying to pose for the cameras as the guard urged her to move on. The actress, visibly upset, reacted by pushing the guard so she could continue walking the red carpet.
This isn’t the guard’s first brush with celebrities. Kelly Rowland and South Korean actress Yoona have also had issues with her in the past.
