The problematic staffer continued to be one of the most talked about subjects from the 2024 Cannes film festival after her interaction on the red carpet with actress Lim Yoon-a, better known to fans as Yoona.

The Korean artist was blocked from posing for photographs and appeared to have a flash of disappointment on her face as she was rushed into the venue.

The red carpet drama has divided the internet, with many saying the tsk-tsking guard was going too far, while others maintained she was just doing her job.

The security guard’s colleagues defended her and said she was working under a lot of pressure during the festival

Colleagues also came to the staffer’s defense and said the quick ushering of guests into the venue was necessary to stick to the festival’s packed schedule.

“She was an usher working under a lot of pressure to keep people on the carpet moving, so as to stop crowds building up,” a Cannes staff veteran told the Daily Mail.

“There was no pushing or shoving, or scolding. Security and safety are the priorities, along with keeping to strict timetables set according to contracts – even the celebrities have to stick to the rules,” said the man who has worked at the venue for the last 20 editions of Cannes.

“Lots of ushers are involved, and they always act professionally and with politeness,” the source added. “In this case, the usher was certainly only doing her job – she didn’t do anything wrong.”

The insider also shut down suggestions of racism being involved in the headline-making staff’s behavior.

“Suggestions of racism are just ridiculous – visitors, and indeed staff at Cannes come from all kinds of backgrounds, and none are discriminated against,” he said.

Fans were divided over the controversial series of events that unfolded on the 2024 Cannes red carpet.
