Why do a red carpet if they won't let the guests "do the red carpet"?!

If time was so limited for taking photos, they shouldn't have invited so many people.

STOP PUTTING YOUR HANDS ON WOMEN WHEN THEY SAY TO GET AWAY.

Not only is the complete invasion of personal space unacceptable, but the security interference is actually making it take LONGER to go up the stairs... Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of -escorting- rushing the guests to the top of the steps for time...?

If I'm being honest, public or not, if three men boxed me in like that I'd lose my mind with fight or flight and there would be yelling.

Most of those dresses are most likely borrowed also and that lady is ruining them

It's like they hired bouncers who are only used to escorting people off the premises.. ridiculous and totally unprofessional.

The fact that security decided to make themselves "star" of the red carpet is a weird f*cking flex

I got second hand anger towards this security guard!

In my opinion, the security guards were unprofessional. While celebrities can become accustomed to being handled delicately, I think any average person in this situation would have felt accosted. The blonde security guard having multiple incidents with WOC was not a good look.

I just figured it out! They hired bouncers instead of security guards! This is how you see drunk people at a bar treated...

The thing that annoyed me even more was her arm in the way of every single photo. If you do not want pictures taken due to time constraints, don't do a red carpet. Celebrities know all about time constraints and keeping things moving. It's literally how their lives go so if you just let them do their pictures, tell them "you have 1 min", they will bust it out and keep moving. Bizarre security

Who trained these security guards? They are so far into everyone’s personal space that it practically impossible to not get upset with them.

Next year, the stars are going to have to bring their own security guards to deal with the ones assigned by the festival.

If that security guard had been corralling me like that and stepping on my dress, THE WAY I would have “fallen” and made an even bigger scene! Like, you gonna have to carry me off this carpet now, where’s my stretcher

Yoona has been a Korean K-pop celebrity before being an actress for the longest time. For her to be uncomfortable with how close the security guard is you know that guard is doing too much.

WHY HAVE PHOTOGRAPHERS THERE IF YOU WONT LET THEM TAKE GOOD PICTURES 😤😤😤😤😤 WHO TF HIRED THIS “SECURITY” TEAM?!!!

The way the guard was touching Kelly Roland was absolutely inappropriate! Stepping her dress and pushing her shoulders is absolutely awful! And wrestling that second woman? What in the world? She seems like she only took this job to knock celebrities down a peg. WTF? These guards shouldn't be touching anyone or their clothes.

That can be so intimidating too especially for the women. Having two or three male security trying to throw you up the stairs whilst touching you, it's not nice. They shouldnt be putting hands on people. Use your words, not your hands

The entire company has to be clueless because how do you allow that female security guard to continue to work after the first incident? Read the room. Also, why did the festival staff not step in? This reflects poorly on the entire event.

How were the women supposed to move if she was standing on the dress? The dress could rip, it could fall down, or the woman in the dress might trip and fall. I know that I would fall on my face.

If the people running the festival are worried about starting on time, shouldn't they start the red carpet earlier so pictures can be taken?

So I thought the Cannes red carpet was supposed to be a grand event. These security guards turned it into a freaking fiasco. They were just SO obnoxious!

They’re acting like they’re transporting prisoners 😂

That security guard annoyed me from the moment she bothered Ms. Kelly Rowland, and every day there were more incidents from her.

They all acted a lot calmer than I would have. Dont you dare put hands on me unless you want my hand, balled, to connect with your face.

As someone who has worked law enforcement for over 20 years, these security guards really angered me. Where was the boss? Who trained them?

If Kelly has to tell you off, you're probably in the wrong.

I hope the one suing wins because they were really disgusting for this whole thing

I already don’t like to be touched. If someone tried to man handle me I am no longer responsible for what I do to you after I told you to stop and leave me alone.

In my opinion, a security guard should never put their hands on someone unless they're doing it to prevent actual harm being done. Concerns over schedules do not qualify. Also, my lip-reading did not get "goofy" at the end of that one interaction. I see "douchebag."

The fact that the security thinks it’s ok to actually touch someone! Crazy

As someone who has covered red carpet award shows but have never personally covered Cannes...usually the celeb's reps are escorting them down the carpet and once things get close to start time security coordinates with the reps to get their clients inside. I honestly don't know wtf is going on here but there's no way that would happen in Los Angeles. Instant assault charge. Not only are the celebs not getting their press, the designers aren't getting their press and the photo houses aren't getting their shots. Not to mention the FILMS aren’t being promoted.

And if they’d let them take the photos, the whole thing would have gone smoothly, and they’d have likely completely stuck to timings as well 🤦🏻‍♀️

The fact that the security guards felt the need to, first of all, talk down to the celebrity guests like they're children, but then also manhandled them! Seriously?! Tell me your unqualified for your job without telling me you're unqualified AND apparently incompetent.

I have never seen kelly rowland act out of hand, so for me without even seeing more of the full clips, i fully believe her reaction was valid and necessary.

Oh my god this security guard. She must of known someone in charge because she was there everyday making trouble

Before the festival, I imagine the security guard training went something like this: Supervisor: "Be mindful of our guests wearing evening gowns. Many have full skirts and trains that you need to avoid stepping on " Security guard makes note: "step on evening gowns"

The security was completely in the wrong here. I've done a fair amount of event coordinating for work and I understand the importance of staying on schedule. But forcing people up the stairs by basically forming a human barricade is so over the top. Like ofc they're gonna be met with anger and frustration!

As someone who ran the Personal Assistant team for the Celebrity/Special Guest/Talent team at a large convention for many years, then later oversaw all of the teams but specialized in all things related to talent - those security guards were NOT doing their jobs. Part of the job for event security is yes to maintain security of course and be conscientious of schedule, but also you need to respect the guests who are INVITED to your show, and if there is going to be a very, very strict way that you want people going up your stairs, you need to brief every guest and their team (they all have personal assistants/publicists/bodyguards/stylists etc) AHEAD OF TIME to avoid exactly this kind of stuff. This speaks volumes about the festival and their staff, not the celebrities. No excuse whatsoever. Even someone who isn’t following a policy that has been laid out ahead of time can be gently coached in a manner that is respectful and professional, and this is NOT the way to do it. I’ve had to intervene pursuant to serious issues, but this type of behavior is never acceptable and when I’ve actually had issues with venue security behavior towards a guest I was working with, I raised holy hell filing reports and policies changed and people were fired/blacklisted. An absolute shame.

Next year more eyes will be on whether the security guard is at Cannes than which celebrities are 👀

If they moved their hand, and stopped touching them, they’d move along faster! They are making it worseeeee

Massiel Taveras, the Jesus Christ dress lady, is a local celebrity from my country (she’s a Miss DR, turned TV personally, turned actress) and being on Cannes is quite the big deal for someone from our island. The dress was designed by one of our currently on demand designers Giannina Azar and painted by another Dominican talent. It was truly an embarrassing moment for her but this has gotten quite the unexpected attention in result by how inappropriate the security was acting towards her.

A lot of these dresses are on loan from designers, so cannot be damaged in any way

The lady with the long train just needed a couple of seconds and the security guards kept pushing her. They dragged it out and prolonged the situation as well as escalated it. I feel bad for the woman not the security. The security all around seem to have had attitude towards the celebrities. I agree that there’s a respectful way to do things and they definitely missed the mark

I just don't understand why she hasn't been fired yet ?! Like manhandling people is not okay?

I thought the red carpet was meant for pictures... this is so weird.

The way they constantly had their arms outstretched trying to herd them so even their photos of the celebrities are just gonna have a random arm across their body

If they just stopped and helped the people take the ONE photo they wanted of their outfits, it wouldve gone faster. Especially with the girl with the Jesus train. If they stopped ruining her shot every time she got it laid out, it wouldve gone about 178,000 times faster. Like I don't understand, this is beyond frustrating to watch.

Kelly Rowland is the sweetest person ever. I'm SHOOK seeing her point at the security guard, I want to protect her😂 you know if kelly Rowland is telling you off, you're in the wrong. I've literally never heard anyone ever say a bad word about Kelly, or say she is rude or anything negative at all. Ive only ever heard amazing things about her.

This situation is so ridiculous. The rules about the stairs haven’t changed as far as we know; and yet, there weren’t this many incidents with security in past years. Cannes needs to realize this is a fashion event now in addition to celebrating film. This isn’t a good look for them

If anyone fell down those stairs as a result of these guards' incompetence they would be fucking sorry.

Its like they're herding cattle, not guiding guests 😂

“Paid Schoolyard Bully” is now a legal profession?

They said they wanted to move things along but the security caused the more delays. By constantly stopping the celebrity from having their photo taken took longer than by just letting the celebrity have that one photo shot.

My cousins best friend was on The Voice Australia and Kelly was her coach and she said Kelly is so real and kind but also a super strong and disciplined person. I would take her word about what happened 100%

I didn't want to watch it, but when I saw Robert is reacting, you better bet I will watch it over and over. I need to meditate after this. The red carpet is so stressful!😅

Omg. What were they thinking?! 🤦‍♀️ And putting their hands on them?!?! Nope.

I don’t think it’s a lack of spatial awareness or some kind of social unawareness, it seems genuinely intentional the way that woman security guard is treating them. Her actions seem very purposeful to me.

There was absolutely no reason for security to put their hands on anyone and stepping on dresses to top it off. All very disrespectful to treat anyone that way. They looked like they had zero training and zero clue. Good way to get celebs to stop attending.

White privilege is that when someone is an asshole to me, I never have to consider it is about my race. So much respect to Kelly for expressing her boundaries… gonna go listen to Dilemma now… 😊😊

It's like a parody. Especially them with the Jesus dress. Like if South Park did a red carpet skit 😆

I realize this may be an unpopular opinion, and I say this as a film fanatic, a cinema connoisseur: Maybe it's time to let Cannes go into the annals of awards history. This isn't the first time the Cannes festival has been problematic. Do we truly still need it? Absolutely not. Especially if they can't do it without physically assaulting attendees! 😳

This is crazy - I also agree re: why do a red carpet if guests cannot do the red carpet. Let them pose, take a selfie or two, then move on!! We also want to see their dresses and their beautiful looks for the event!!! And stop touching people! So inappropriate.

Jesus Dress Lady did what everyone else wanted to do.

Best coverage I’ve seen on this subject so far.

If the security guards’ job was to make things run smoothly they completely failed, they made things take so much longer than they needed to

I've worked security - these people were HIGHLY unprofessional. Unless you are actually detaining someone you do not touch them. All the 'just doing their job' excuses no, no they were not doing their job. And if we really want to be petty then aren't celebs just doing THEIR job too? Photo ops are part of that.

I feel like this was a power trip.

I've avoided watching these clips based on descriptions because I fear second hand embarrassment, but you walking us through it makes me feel safer lol

Thank you for showing all of the celebrities the security guards were inappropriate with. American media was only showing Kelly Rowland and made it out like she was this entitled celebrity who went off for no reason. Angry black woman trope. Great video.

This is straightup harrassment and borderline stalking. Clearly there's racism in this. I don't believe for a second Cannes is not responsible for this chaos (even if security team had been engaged externally). These artistes need more security from these mad "securities"! Truly classless.

these security guards are acting like cops or smth...what the hell is going on in france 😩

The security was awful, and honestly, they seemed to slow people's walk up the stairs. The woman in the Jesus cape (

Cannes is basically a fashion show, so the security guards are being ridiculous. Plus they laid hands on Jesus! They’re in big Hell trouble now. 😂

These security guards are unbelievably rude! It is so frustrating to watch.

Even security staff need people skills 👀

The last situation gave me PTSD. I give German courses and take exams. One day I was booked for a whole day of taking exams, i drove 1,5 hours and when i got there, they said to me "sorry but you're not on the list of examinators" With this company I'd had issues before, that they couldn't remember my name. Now you can give me all sorts of excuses but after I've worked for you 8 times, you should know my name. Sorry not sorry. So I guessed it was that again and I told the receptionist very nicely "no problem, I'll drive back. But then I can't come back today anymore because going back and forth would take me 3 hours" He got a bit confused and asked me if I could wait and he'd go and ask again, just to make sure. And sure enough, they'd misspelled my name again, so badly that he could not recognise it when I said my name. The DJ should've just left and when someone called to ask where he was, he should've said "I was there but apparently I was not invited" And the lady with the long train with jesus on it. Omg that was soo frustrating to watch!!! Just get your hands off her, back off! Hoe difficult can that be? Leave her be for a second and then you can rush her up like madmen again.

It's a red carpet!!!!! The point of a red carpet isn't to walk as fast as you can up into the building. It's to show off your dresses, speak to a few people, get pictures taken.... It's also for fashion designers to show off their work. Like..... Wow. 😊

Three men surrounding her. That's crazy.

I've heard of this lady before and i wonder why is she still employed

"mh🤨" is the appropriate reaction to her "mugshot", too 😂 Looking forward to this one!

not only were they touching/pushing/straight up assaulting the guests, but they seemed to be intentionally blocking any shots of the outfits. wth!?!?!? so many woman saying "please stop" ...

When I got married, I never thought I would be the one that had a 12-foot train. My grandmother was a seamstress. She told me she was going to make this 12-ft train. I felt so guilty, just having a mere thought that I don't want it. She made the most beautiful train, it was a work of art. I loved it!! It was a task just to walk down this long aisle, with a 12 foot train. It took 3 people to spread it out beautifully, before I took my first step. My grandmother told me how to walk, to keep spread out. Lol, even threatening my father to not step on it, when you walk with me. My point is, I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to walk up the steps, with a train that long. Trying to keep the train Drapped beautifully down the steps, as the focal point. Then have some guards trying to rush you, & standing so close in your personal space. The train had to be specifically for when she walked the red carpet and went up the steps. Then it probably was taken off afterwards , of course. The guards ruined the entire reason why she had the train & the moment for it to shine. Someone must have told the guards, to do this. After once maybe twice, if this was not their instructions, it would have been stopped. Bizarre. Especially for the red carpet moment.

All they had to do was take a step BACK! If they gave just a little space to these women in seriously expensive dresses they could have moved things along without so much drama. Really bad optics for Cannes.

Imagine if they stop coming to events with staff like this.

I am so happy you did a video on this !!! The female security guard is in violation of accosting. She came at them aggressively and continually had to touch their bare skin. I'm disgusted. Plus she stomped on their clothing, ruined any type of photo op, and all but threw that one lady over her shoulder and carried her out ! It's like Cannes hires bouncers as security this year.

That lady with the long train! Oh my god, I’m so angry for her! It’s like they are purposefully antagonising her.

They should all boycott Cannes and not attend next year. Let the red carpet stand empty with all those over entitled security guards. Those lowly serfs were on power trips.

Okay, I grew up rural and those security guards are behaving like farm dogs.

The way the security guards got more attention than the films this year. I hope the film festival swaps out the security agency they work with.

As a SONE, I feel so bad for Yoona and everyone affected by these pushy security guards. Anyone who knows Yoona knows how well-loved she is for being so sweet and polite. I'm glad to see this kind of behavior get called out.

These celebs are stopping for the press. Why don’t the security guards direct their attention to the press who are stationary instead of the celebs who are moving in order to move the entrance along? It’s just a really bad look. 😬

Second hand anger for them

Why bother having a red carpet event with no pictures? That's what a red carpet is for. That security was awful.

BOYCOTT 👏CANNES👏 next 👏year! 👏I initially found it weird how there were not a lot of KZfaqrs calling this one out. Thanks for using your platform to raise this issue. Even an ordinary spectator like me found this frustrating. Even if an event had strict rules, there is still a professional way of enforcing these rules while making your guests, who PAID and made a lot of effort to prepare, comfortable, and feel very welcomed. The whole security team is brash and the one lady in particular is very invasive and just rude. Stop treating guests like criminals.

Honestly love this new channel! Was here at the pop up of my KZfaq notification! Roberts faces literally says everything 😂

All she wanted was a pic of her dress which would’ve been such a gorgeous photo going up the stairs

The security guards should NOT be touching anyone or their garments unless they are in distress. Don’t touch the guests!

I hope the organizers are EMBARRASSED and take notes that this was not the move. Better luck next year.
