Sean Young was in the audience at the Directors Guild of America awards ceremony when she began what witnesses described as heckling people on the stage. During an acceptance speech that director Julian Schnabel was giving for his work on “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”, Young started verbally accosting the man from her position at a table. After the director snapped back “Have another drink” to the actress he was greeted with a round of applause from the rest of the crowd.

Shortly after Schnabel left the stage a security guard approached Young and asked her to leave. When she refused the guard took her by the arm and escorted her out of the building.

The next day Young decided to check herself into a California rehab center for treatment with an alcohol problem. The 48 year old actress has a history of strange outbursts when back in 1990 when she made herself a Catwoman costume and went on television to try and impress director Tim Burton to win the role in “Batman Returns”.
