A Django Unchained actress is claiming she was 'handcuffed and detained' by police after being mistaken for a prostitute as she kissed her white husband.
Daniele Watts, who played slave CoCo in the award-winning film, posted the news on her Facebook page on 2 September and said her arm was cut when she was handcuffed.
Watts and her husband Brian James Lucas claim that they were kissing on a Hollywood street when police were called and they were asked to show their ID card to which Watts refused.
Watts wrote on her Facebook page: '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.'

'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.
'As I was sitting in the back of the police car, I remembered the countless times my father came home frustrated or humiliated by the cops when he had done nothing wrong.
'I allowed myself to be honest about my anger, frustration, and rage as tears flowed from my eyes.
