A guest has been thrown out of The Carlyle Hotel ahead of the Met Gala after sparking a security concern.
In shocking footage, a woman wearing a grey sweatsuit screams at security as she tries to enter one of the entrances to the hotel.
‘I’m staying at this hotel,’ she snaps as she tries to enter before being stopped.
A female security guard tries to direct the woman to a different door, but she continues to be belligerent before trying to barge through.
Two security guards then pull the woman out onto the street, where it’s raising.
She then returns and claims to be spending $5,000 on her room at the hotel, before security eventually let her inside.
Before entering, she pulls out her phone to record the security team.
‘I’m so mad right now,’ she snaps as she stomps back to the curb, before finally going inside.

The luxury 5-star hotel is one of the go-tos for celebrities attending the Met Gala due to its close proximity to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan, where the fundraiser is held each year.
The entrance that the woman was trying to enter was surrounded by photographers, fans and reporters, indicating that it may have been specifically designated for celebrity guests to use.
A number of A-listers were seen leaving the hotel in their glamorous Met Gala looks shortly after the altercation.
Actress Sydney Sweeney, influencer Emma Chamberlain, reggaeton artist J Balvin, fashion designer Dapper Dan and even Rihanna were among the names spotted on the red carpet of the Carlyle.
This year, the fundraising gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is hosted by a group of Black male celebrities, including musician Pharrell Williams, who is the Men’s Creative Director for Louis Vuitton.
Also hosting are racer Lewis Hamilton, actor Colman Domingo, and rapper A$AP Rocky, with NBA superstar LeBron James as honorary chair.
They’re being joined by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, the mastermind behind the gala, considered the year’s biggest fashion party.

The theme this year is ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ – based on Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
It is meant to pay homage to black dandyism, a style with European roots which started post-Emancipation and came out in full force during the Harlem Renaissance.
Pharrell has high hopes for the Met Gala, the first to focus exclusively on Black designers, and the first in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme.
‘I want it to feel like the most epic night of power, a reflection of Black resiliency in a world that continues to be colonized, by which I mean policies and legislation that are nothing short of that,’ he recently told Vogue. ‘It’s our turn.’
