After ending Oscar night at in a Hollywood jail, actress Sean Young is demanding an apology from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her arrest outside the Academy’s official after-party at the Governor’s Ball.

Young was taken into custody Sunday night after she allegedly slapped a security guard who attempted to block her from entering the party, according to TMZ.

Young disputes the claim that she is at fault and took to Facebook to demand an apology from the Academy.

“Waiting on word from The Academy on a public apology,” wrote Young. “I think they have figured out it was in fact there security guards fault and may indeed feel they should issue an apology to me.”

According to TMZ, Young was standing near the entrance to the venue posing for pictures with stars, including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Michelle Williams and Jonah Hill and Sandra Bullock, when security guards realized she didn’t have a ticket. Young was asked to leave, but returned. When security asked her to leave again, a guard placed an arm on Young, at which point she allegedly slapped him.

Young claims that she was injured in the altercation, according to the Daily Mail. Yesterday morning, she showed bruises on her arms to reporters as evidence of the alleged manhandling by the security guards.

Young, who starred in “Blade Runner” and recently “Young and the Restless,” has a history of alcohol abuse. In 2011 her stay in rehab was depicted in “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.”

The media is capitalizing on the pathetic antics of a woman long known to have mental and/or substance abuse issues. She’s pitiful, and they should just ignore her instead of making her a laughing stock. I hope she gets the help she obviously needs before she ends up like Whitney Houston.

Sean Young committed assault by hitting a guy. If the guy had knocked her out for assaulting him, all the psycos that have their brains wired backwards would be calling for him to be locked up for 20 years. The DA would be charging him with attempted murder because of HER actions. Where is all the outrage when a woman like this can’t keep her hands to herself. That is why certain women get their heads tore off. They have been brainwashed into thinking they can do stuff like this and pick the response. Nothing is supposed to happen to them because they are women……….AMERICAN WOMEN. lol

I think Sean is going to be disappointed, yet again. She brings these troubles on herself. In the photo, showing her confrontation with security, you can almost see her demanding, “Do you not realize who I AM??!!!”

Sorry, Sean, you don’t get apologies for refusing the lawful orders of security personnel, becoming belligerent, and hitting security guards. You get arrested. Next time, don’t commit assault and battery, and you won’t get hauled in to jail.

It’s amazing what some of these Hollywood types will do for attention. I believe that gets to the heart of this.

Sean, the apology must have been lost in the mail due to the cut backs by the USPS. Sorry it was the only copy available as someone put the carbon paper in backward when it was typed on the typewriter. What the heck – you’re a big star so this shouldn’t really bother you.

It’s ‘their’ not ‘there’ Ms. Young.

Funny, everyone else managed to get along with security just fine…. everyone except Sean Young, that is.
