Teyana Taylor Got into Physical Fight With Haitian Movie Director
Posted on: September 2, 2011 | 1 comment so far
Rapper/actress Teyana Taylor has gotten into a bloody fight with Haitian movie director Jean-Claude La Marre on the set of “Gang of Roses 2.”
Teyana Taylor claims La Marre ignored her pleas to be taken home while she dealt with an aching tooth.
According to 20-year-old Teyana, she asked multiple times to be taken home by car service because the pain was just too much to bear — and when La Marre continually refused to allow that … she got in his face and started shouting. Teyana claims La Marre shouted back, “Don’t f**king scream at me bitch” … and pushed her in the face, hitting her aching tooth.
Taylor said she got punched in the nose and mouth and bled. La Marre said he only acted defensive after she jumped on him and “began swinging”.
La Marre ended up killing off Taylor’s character in the movie. The director also said he is not taking the matter further because “she’s 20 years old and I’m 40 …kids lash out.”
Gang of Roses 2 co-stars Amber Rose, her boyfriend Wiz Khalifa, and a few other folks.
