(CBS News) Actress Sean Young wants an apology from The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences following her arrest at the official post-Oscars bash on Sunday.

"Waiting on word from The Academy on a public apology," the "Blade Runner" star wrote early Tuesday morning on her Facebook page. "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. I will keep you posted."

Young, 52, was placed under citizen's arrest Sunday night following a run-in with a security guard. After being booked for investigation of misdemeanor battery, she posted $20,000 bail and was released early Monday.

According to TMZ, Young reportedly got into an argument with a security guard over taking photos at the entrance to the event. She didn't have an invite to the party, according to reports.

The "Celebrity Rehab" alum has since taken to Facebook to tell her side of the story.

"I just want everyone to know that I was sober, extremely well behaved when a very stupid security guard went postal on me and then The Academy's very stupid lawyer recommended a 'private person's arrest' and I have grounds for a lawsuit against the Academy although I believe a public apology to me would be much better," Young wrote. "I am OK and I have the Hollywood Police Stations support who very carefully and kindly photographed the bruises on my arms which this guard is responsible for doing."
