Taylor repeatedly admonished the person for putting his “hands on a female.”
“You’re very rude,” she snapped as she pointed at him.
She then explained to others what had happened. “He literally shoved me,” she said.
TMZ reported from “sources with direct knowledge” that it was a security guard who tried to block Taylor from returning to the stage for a Best Picture victory photo with the cast. He physically held her back and tried to push her away before she could ascend the stairs, according to the showbiz site.
At one point, the guard asked Taylor to apologize, TMZ added.
A HuffPost source with knowledge of the events confirmed the TMZ account.
