It ain’t just Oscars security catching heat from Teyana Taylor … she’s also got beef with viewers who thought her OTT reaction to Amy Madigan winning Best Supporting Actress over her was actually low-key shade.
Teyana jumped on X after someone posted the clip and dragged her enthusiastic reaction … and she fired back, insisting she was simply showing real sportsmanship — something she suggested the world’s gotten uncomfortable with because people are so used to sore losers.
Teyana compared folks’ misery to “holy water touching a demon,” while also dropping a little life lesson in the process … telling followers to “win with grace & pure joy” and “lose with grace, chin up & dignity.”
Goes without saying, the “One Battle After Another” actress really did look thrilled for “Weapons” star Madigan … jumping out of her seat and celebrating like she’d just won herself.

That energy carried through the whole night too … with Teyana even putting director Paul Thomas Anderson in a playful headlock as he headed up to collect the Best Picture trophy.
So yeah … looks like Teyana’s just out here being loud, proud — and very happy for others!
