Snoop Dogg’s security allegedly ‘pushed’ and threatened speed skating legend at Olympics
Snoop Dogg's security allegedly pushed and threatened Olympic speed skating icon Marianne Timmer during a media interaction at the Milano-Cortina Olympics.
During the ongoing Milano-Cortina Olympics, Snoop Dogg's security team has come under scrutiny following an incident involving former Dutch speed skater Marianne Timmer. While Timmer was waiting to interview athletes after a 1,000-meter speed skating event, she claims that one of Snoop's security guards pushed her against a wall. She expressed her frustration, mentioning the spacious area available yet feeling crowded by the guard's actions.
Timmer, who is now a media commentator, described the situation as unsettling and inappropriate. She reacted by urging the guard to 'just act normal,' emphasizing that there was ample room for movement. The incident has raised concerns not only about the behavior of celebrity security at high-profile events but also the treatment of former athletes who are present to contribute to the coverage of such sports.
This event highlights the complexities of celebrity presence in major sports events and the potential for friction between their entourages and other attendees. The implications of this incident may prompt discussions about the expectations and regulations concerning security personnel at international sporting events, particularly those involving high-profile celebrities.
