Actress faces lewd conduct charge


The BBC has an article about yet another idiot from Hollywood:
An actress who alleged she was detained by Los Angeles, California police because of racial profiling, after being found in a parked car with her boyfriend, has been charged with committing a lewd act in public.
Daniele Watts (photo), who appeared in Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained, was handcuffed after refusing to show ID.
The LAPD said its officers had responded to a report that a couple were exposed indecently inside a silver Mercedes. Both Watts and her boyfriend have been charged with one count of lewd conduct.
The 28-year-old African-American actress and her white partner, Brian James Lucas, face up to six months in jail and a thousand dollar fine if convicted. Both remain free pending a further case hearing due to take place on 13 November 2014.
Watts used social media to complain about the 11 September 2014 incident in Studio City, north of Los Angeles, claiming her rights had been violated.
In subsequent interviews, Watts and her boyfriend, a celebrity chef who specializes in raw food, insisted they had only been showing public affection and that nothing improper had been taking place. Watts and Lucas, 43, have since faced criticism for appearing to suggest their respective races played a role in the confrontation.
Rico says that he knows that 'Hollywood idiot' is redundant, but what else can you call 'em? (And, given the racial makeup of the LAPD, race probably didn't matter to the cops...)
