Massiel Taveras is nonetheless fuming at the safety guard who tussled with her at the Cannes Film Festival … telling TMZ the lady requires to take her butt to church, or at least open a Bible.

We got the Dominican actress Tuesday in Los Angeles and our photog asked her about her incident with the Cannes safety guard — which, as we all saw, got a small testy … not to mention handsy.

Massiel tells us she was just attempting to get a photo of her dress, the a single with a enormous image of Jesus Christ, when the safety guard intervened … rushing her along up the stairs.

The way Massiel sees it … the safety guard did not want her to share the religious message with the media (and the globe, presumably) and stepped in aggressively.

Massiel says she knew she had to stand her ground on this concern, so she fought back. Keep in mind, their scuffle played out in front of other celebs and tons of cameras.

Soon after the skirmish, Massiel says she was told she could not go inside the principal space, and as an alternative was shuffled off to a balcony … exactly where she says she was in a position to get the image that led to the complete hullabaloo in the 1st location.

Massiel’s foe is the exact same lady who had beef with Kelly Rowland, South Korean singer/actress Yoona and Ukranian model Sawa Pontyjska. Kelly says race was an concern and Sawa says she’s going to sue … as for Massiel, she’s right here to push her faith.

Like she says to us right here … the safety guard could study a issue or two from Jesus’ teachings — and she even inquiries exactly where the Cannes safety team’s moral allegiance lies.
