Daniele Watts, and African-American actress, best known for her roles as Coco in “Django Unchained” and Angela on the Showtime series “Weeds”, recently shared a disturbing interaction with the Los Angeles Police on her facebook page. In a post published on September 11th, she described an incident in which she was detained by police officers,

Today I was handcuffed and detained by 2 police officers from the Studio City Police Department after refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place.

When the officer arrived, I was standing on the sidewalk by a tree. I was talking to my father on my cell phone. I knew that I had done nothing wrong, that I wasn’t harming anyone, so I walked away.

A few minutes later, I was still talking to my dad when 2 different police officers accosted me and forced me into handcuffs.

Several news outlets are reporting that police officers were responding to a call from someone in the area claiming Watts and her husband were a prostitute and John.

Daniele’s husband, who was not detained, documented the incident and posted the pictures to his public Instagram account. The couple has not released any additional statements since making the images and information public.
