Model Sawa Pontyjska is suing Cannes Film Festival over a now-viral incident with a female security guard
Model Sawa Pontyjska has taken legal action against the Cannes Film Festival following an incident with a female security guard.
'I was trying to escape from this lock. I went down and I started to run away on the stairs because it was the way back ,' Pontyjska told the BBC. 'She was trying to push me in, so nobody can see what she's doing with me. Then she kicked me out through the back door.' “I always dreamed of getting into the Cannes Film Festival, but then I was shocked about rudeness and unreasonable use of physical force, which I experienced on the red carpet with other international stars,” Pontyjska claimed in the clip. A third TikTok video shared on Thursday seemingly showed documents from her lawsuit against Cannes.
According to the BBC, Pontyjska accused the film festival of 'physical assault and psychological damage' and is seeking €100,000 in damages, the equivalent of $108,769.50.
