Teyana Taylor has sparked a fierce online debate after a tense backstage moment at the 98th Academy Awards went viral on social media.<\/p>\n

The singer and actress, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in One Battle After Another, was filmed appearing to confront a man during the ceremony.<\/p>\n

In the clip, Ms Taylor can be heard raising her voice as she says: “You’re a man putting your hands on a female. You’re very rude.”<\/p>\n

She repeats the remark before turning to someone nearby who appeared to be asking what had happened.<\/p>\n

“Because he was putting his hands on a famale, he literally shoved me,” she said.<\/p>\n

A third said: “These celeberties act like they’re so important – umm, you’re really not.”<\/p>\n

Others defended the actress, praising her for speaking out.<\/p>\n

One user wrote: “Why is the narrative always about a ‘fight’ when a black woman shows emotion?”<\/p>\n

Another commented: “Teyana Taylor didn\u2019t hold back. Good for her. Nobody should get touched without consent, especially on a stage like the that.”<\/p>\n

Despite the controversy, Ms Taylor had already been one of the most talked-about stars of the night.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old earned her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for playing Perfidia Beverly Hills in Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s film One Battle After Another.<\/p>\n

Although she ultimately lost the award to Amy Madigan for Weapons, Ms Taylor’s film still had a major evening, winning Best Picture.<\/p>\n

She also went viral earlier in the ceremony for her energetic reaction to Ms Madigan\u2019s win, leaping to her feet in applause for the veteran actress.<\/p>\n

While some commentators criticised her celebratory response as “over-the-top”, many others praised her enthusiasm and sportsmanship.<\/p>\n

Ms Taylor had dominated much of the awards season leading up to the Oscars, having already won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for the same role.<\/p>\n

Her red carpet appearance was also widely praised, with many fashion critics naming her among the best dressed of the evening.<\/p>\n
