Was Winona Ryder Strip Searched?

(WENN) Overzealous security guards got more than they bargained for when they lifted Winona Ryder's top while searching for alleged stolen shopping items - as she wasn't wearing a bra.

The actress' defense team is claiming their client was humiliated by guards at the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills while she waited for police to arrive last December when she was charged with shoplifting.

As the delayed trial gets underway, Ryder's legal team claim security staff lifted the movie star's top to reveal her breasts and then cheekily asked her for tickets to see an upcoming film. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles District Attorney's legal eagles are laughing off the defense's claims, and are instead trying to portray Ryder as a cool, calculated and brazen shoplifter, who came to the store prepared for a shoplifting spree.

They claim she brought scissors and five plastic bags full of tissues so she could cut tags off items and smuggled them out of the store. They also claim one of their witnesses is a security guard who peeked through slats in a dressing room door and saw the actress cutting off tags and stashing clothes into her bags.

Ryder, dressed all in black and wearing a headband, sat quietly through the first day of the trial, occasionally shaking her head in disbelief as the prosecutors made their opening statements.

I wish I was a Saks Fifth Avenue secuity guard!

i just read on imdb.com that some director said she should steal or something for her next role?!
heh, maybe its all a stupid joke and she actually wants to feel like a thief.
I didnt understand in the first place why such a rich girl would have to steal something... thats just whack ;)

I hope she goes to prison and ends up being gang raped by a bunch of lesbians. And they let me watch.
