Actress Daniele Watts, who starred in the movie "Django Unchained" claims she was recently a victim of racism and police brutality because she was showing affection to a white man.
Daniele, who is black, and her hubby, Brian James Lucas were making out in a parked car outside the CBS studios in the San Fernando Valley on Thursday, after she left a meeting at CBS with a director. A resident of a nearby apartment saw them kissing and assumed she was a prostitute so he called the cops.
When the cops arrived, they demanded to see their IDs but Daniele refused and walked away. The cops then followed her, cuffed her and threw her in the back of their patrol car.
She wrote on Facebook:
Her husband, Brian, who is a chef, supported her account of the incident. He also wrote on Facebook:
"From the questions that he asked me as D was already on her phone with her dad, I could tell that whoever called on us (including the officers), saw a tatted RAWKer white boy and a hot bootie shorted black girl and thought we were a HO (prostitute) & a TRICK (client).
“They handcuffed her and threw her roughly into the back of the cop car until they could figure out who she was. In the process of handcuffing her, they cut her wrist, which was truly NOT COOL!!!"
