I think she thought she won 😅
She was doing too much
shes a pain in the a**
Dumbest in the room is always the loudest. Attn.Hor
She was probably on drugs or has a mental illness.
Please dont be a Tiana. She looked crazy and knew she didnt belong
Cant she be excited she 30. 😂😂😂This Queen has time…s that role was Oscar quality..
No TT that comment wasn't it. You was acting out too much
She was jumping outta her chair. The most redic & annoying person in the audience. Calm down girl & stop with the lip thing
She didn't; win, looking for attention.
Just her poses are too much and that starts in the brain too. She all around went too far.
Happiness? She went off to a guy that night!!!
Okay my fellow sistas, I see your comments below and in this piece. Ya'll mad because you ain't her. Why, of all people, are black women policing another black woman's joy? so sick of respectability politics. She was at the Oscars. As long as it's not offensive, she can act however she wants. She has EVERY right to stand a cheer for her fellow nominee and new bestie. Auntie Dionne said what she said.
That security guard should never work the Oscars again. You don't touch people unless they are in danger or causing danger.
She's tacky. Who cares.
