Stacey Dash reads 'Mean Tweets' after her awkward Oscar cameo
Stacey Dash, 49, isn’t Clueless. She read the mean tweets viewers wrote about her during the Academy Awards. But, instead of sending you people straight to Blocklanta, she decided to take a cue from Jimmy Kimmel’s popular Mean Tweets series.
In a pre-recorded video posted to Facebook Monday, Dash rattles off the harsh messages she received after her awkward Oscars bit, during which host Chris Rock jokingly introduced her as The Academy’s new director of minority outreach and had her bid the audience a happy Black History Month.
Here’s a sampling of the tweets.
“WTF.”
“I was hoping there was a trap door on the stage and @REALStaceyDash would fall through.”
“@REALStaceyDash you sucked on the Oscars like you do on Fox News. Pointless."
And...
“I’m sick of your (bleep) I’m pulling up,” to which Dash replied, “That seems like a threat.”
Dash then went on to clap back at the haters.
“There are a lot of people that don’t agree with me, and have a lot of very mean things to say, which I will never live down and a lot of people will use against me for the rest of my life,” Dash explains, alluding to the backlash she’s received for her ostensibly hypocritical condemnation of the #OscarsSoWhite outcry, the BET Awards and Black History Month.
“But here’s the thing,” the Fox News commentator continued, “I do what I do because I want to do it and because I believe in it, and it has nothing to do with race. And I wish you would stop saying that. Everything that I do is because I believe in it, and I believe we are all equal, OK? I don’t feel inferior nor do I feel superior you should stop feeling that way too. I'm very happy about what I did, and I'm proud of it.”
