Daniele Watts, who starred in 'Django Unchained,' was put in handcuffs and detained by LAPD after they mistook her to be a prostitute.
The African-American actress, who also posted pictures to Facebook, where she's seen handcuffed and crying, claimed that the officers asked her to produce photo ID after they saw her kissing her husband in the street, but she refused, the Independent reported.
Watts who was handled roughly her and even had her cut her wrist in the process, added that while sitting in the police car, she felt "shame and anger" for being a part of the world where "authority figures" could control her "being."
Her husband, Brian James Lucas, a chef, backed her account of the events in a social media posting of his own writing that the officers cut her hand, which really wasn't "cool."
However, LAPD public information officer said there was no record of the incident as Watts, who was released shortly, wasn't arrested or brought in for questioning.
Meanwhile, few weeks before California police officers too had detained an African American television producer who was on his way to a pre-Emmy Awards party, because he "fitted a description."
