Teyana Taylor Addresses Claims That She Was Wildin’ & Behaving Inappropriately At The Oscars: Miserable Hearts Forget The Face Of Happiness’

#TeyanaTaylor isn’t letting the naysayers bring her down.

The Academy Award–nominated actress has faced some backlash following last night’s ceremony. Critics claimed she acted inappropriately when she playfully put One Battle After Another director Paul Thomas Anderson in a headlock as they made their way to the stage to accept the Best Picture award. One person on X wrote, “WTF going on with Teyana? This is like the 3rd video in a row I’ve seen of her wildin at the Oscars.” Another user criticized her for standing to applaud Amy Madigan after she won Best Supporting Actress over Teyana.

#Teyana fired back on X, defending herself: “The world holds so much misery that miserable hearts forget the face of happiness. They grow comfortable being sore losers, so when they see real sportsmanship it unsettles them! Like holy water touching a demon.” She added, “Because clapping for someone else’s victory requires something many people never learned…how to win with grace & pure joy, and how to lose with grace, chin up & dignity.”

#TJBCrew, are they being too hard on Teyana?
