Acclaimed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly director Julian Schnabel spoke to Usmagazine.com about being heckled by a drunk Sean Young at an event over the weekend.

"It’s fine," he told Us at an amfAR benefit at Cipriani 42nd Street in NYC Thursday.

He added, "You know what? I didn’t have anything interesting to say anyway, so I should beg her to come with me wherever I go!”

During Schnabel's acceptance speech at last Saturday's Directors Guild of America Awards in L.A., Young screamed, "Get on with it."

"Have another cocktail," Schnabel replied. As he started to leave the stage, the crowd urged him to stay.

Young was later ejected from the ceremony.

On Tuesday, she voluntarily admitted herself to rehab for alcoholism after suffering "against the disease for many years," according to a statement from PR Insignia.
