A screaming, topless protester with the words “Stop Raping Us” scrawled across her torso crashed the 75th Cannes Film Festival red carpet on Friday.
Security rushed over to cover up and whisk away the protester, who was screaming “Don’t rape us!” at the red carpet event in France.
“On the Cannes red carpet for George Miller’s new movie, the woman in front of me stripped off all her clothes (covered in body paint) and fell to her knees screaming in front of photographers,” New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan tweeted on Friday.
“Cannes authorities rushed over, covered her in a coat, & blocked my camera from filming,” the reported added, sharing a small video clip of the incident.
