Wood dropped the suit and there was an out-of-court settlement in 1989, where Young was awarded $227,000 in order to cover her legal expenses. But all this negative publicity hurt Young’s career.
At the 84th Academy Awards after-party on 26 February 2012, Young was put under a citizen’s arrest after she was not allowed to enter because she did not have an entry ticket. Young allegedly slapped the security guard after an argument. Young claimed that she wasn’t drunk, and in fact, that it was the guard who provoked the argument. Later, the charges against Young were dropped.
In 2018, Young, along with her sons, took two MacBooks from the production office of the movie, Charlie Boy. They were identified in the surveillance video. Young was supposed to be the director of the film originally but Timothy Hines replaced her later. The value of the laptops along with the software, was estimated to be around $12,000 and the police questioned Young about it.
A few days later, Young returned the laptops that she was charged with stealing via her attorney, claiming that it was all a mix-up and that she was just retrieving her personal property left at the office, which she had permission to enter. She stated that she believed that the laptops belonged to her but discovered later that she was mistaken and so she returned the items. There were no charges filed against Young for this incident.
