Actress Daniele Watts, barely known for her appearance in Django Unchained, was caught playing the race card and oddly enough, the fame card, on a Los Angeles police recording during a recent stop.

The officer arrived at the scene last Thursday on a call of "public lewdness" between two people who were said to be having sex inside a car on the sidewalk with the door open for all to see. Watts claims she and her boyfriend were just "making out." 

Watts also claimed that she was mistaken for a prostitute and racially profiled because she was with a white man. And the media ate it up.

But on Monday, TMZ released the audio and it tells a much different story. Below is a partial transcript:

Watts: What's the issue?

Officer: Somebody called the police saying that there was lewd acts in the car.

Watts: But there's no lewd acts happening…

Officer: Doesn't matter, I have to ID you.

Watts: We're not doing anything…I'm on the phone with my dad. This is my boyfriend, we're sitting in front of a public place...

Officer: Okay, I want to see your ID. Somebody called which gives me the right to be here, so it gives me the right to identify you.

Watts: Do you know how many times I've been called -- the cops have been called just for being black? Just because we're black and he's white? I'm just being really honest, sir.

Officer: Who brought up a race card? Why? I said nothing about you being black.

Watts: I'm bringing it up because I have every right to be here.

Officer: I have every right to ask for your ID.

Watts: And I have the right to say no.

As the banter continued, Watts threatened to make a scene and informed the officer that she had a publicist and worked as an actress at the CBS studio where the incident took place. The officer replied, "I'm mildly interested that you have a publicist."

Watts continued to refuse to show her ID. She then tried to get the officer to talk to her "daddy" on the phone. Apparently trying to heap guilt on the officer, Watts randomly informed him that her stepmother was dying. 

As the confrontation continued to escalate, Watts began screaming at her dad through the phone, while the officer informed her that screaming would definitely not help the situation. The officer also launched this toward the screaming Watts: "Thanks for bringing up the race card. I never hear that!"

The officer informed them both that this would have all been avoided if Watts would have simply shown her ID.

The couple appeared on CNN Monday -- Watts still emotionally upset -- and said they have contacted lawyers, the ACLU and the NAACP. Watts defended her actions saying, "I believe in America and what it stands for."

Amazingly, during the CNN interview, Watts stopped just short of equating her situation with Ferguson, MO, and said that she has a "role as a public figure" to "raise awareness" of racial profiling by police.
