American actress For the British paralympic swimmer, see Danielle Watts.

Danièle Watts
BornCalifornia
OccupationActress

Danièle Watts is an American actress, best known for her appearances in the television show Weeds, and as a main cast member on the FX television series Partners.

Early life and education

Danièle Watts was born in California. In middle school, she lived in Orlando, Florida, and in high school, she lived in Atlanta, where she attended the North Springs Charter School of Arts and Sciences. She later attended the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and the British American Drama Academy in London.

Career

On television, she has appeared in singular episodes of How I Met Your Mother, Greek, Cold Case, Detroit 1-8-7, Criminal Minds, Private Practice, 90210, Castle, Melissa & Joey, as well as episodes of Weeds. In 2014, she appeared as a main cast member of the TV series Partners, acting as Martin Lawrence's daughter.

Controversy

In September 2014, Watts and boyfriend Brian Lucas were accused of having sex in a car on a public street. The police were called for a "citizen complaint of indecent exposure" and loud noises. During and after her arrest, Watts claimed she was the subject of racial profiling, due to her boyfriend being white, as she was accused of being a prostitute, and handcuffs leaving her wrist bloodied. The police initially did not charge the couple, but following social media complaints by the couple and the release of audio of the arrest by the police, witnesses stepped forward, alleging lewd conduct. In May 2015, the couple pled no contest to charges of disturbing the peace in exchange for the lewd conduct charges being dropped, and were sentenced to fifteen days of community labor and ordered to write apology letters to the police officers involved in the stop, and to office workers who witnessed a fully clothed Watts sitting on Lucas' lap. After Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Christine Ewell found Watts' letter to the arresting officer to be "insincere", Watts was ordered to write a second letter.
