Teyana Taylor was caught erupting backstage at the 2026 Oscars after being 'shoved' on her way out.
Just moments after being accused by fans of ‘faking’ her reaction to losing the Best Supporting Actress award to Amy Madigan, the actress went viral again following a heated backstage confrontation.
In a video filmed in a packed corridor at the Dolby Theatre, Taylor can be seen accusing a man of getting physical with her as she tried to move through the crowd.
Pointing angrily at someone off camera, the visibly upset star raised her voice and said: ‘You’re a man putting his hands on a female.’
She continued, repeating: ‘You’re very rude. You’re very rude. You’re very rude.’
Turning to a concerned attendee who approached the tense scene, Taylor explained the situation, saying: ‘Cause he put his hands on a female.’
The singer-turned-actress then claimed the man had pushed her, adding: ‘He literally shoved me. He was damn near shoving her,’ while referencing an unidentified woman nearby.
The clip ended with Taylor making it clear why she was furious, telling those around her: ‘Do not touch me, do not shove me, do not push me.’
The Daily Mail has contacted Taylor’s representatives for comment.
The tense moment came after Taylor had already sparked a social media frenzy earlier in the evening over her dramatic reaction to losing the Best Supporting Actress prize - with one body language expert even branding it an ‘overkill performance.’
Cameras didn’t miss a beat as a split-screen captured Taylor’s antics alongside fellow nominees Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners), Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (Sentimental Value) and Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value).
When Madigan’s name was announced, Taylor leapt from her seat, throwing her arms above her head and clapping wildly - a display many viewers said looked more like a victory celebration than a loss.
‘Teyana Taylor faking the happiness, girl sit down and relax,’ one viewer wrote on X, while another posted: ‘Lmao that Teyana Taylor reaction, the fakest sh** ever.’
One fan added: ‘Why is Teyana acting like she isn’t crying inside?’
