Dash claimed that Fox cast her as an ‘angry Black woman’
Actress and former Fox News pundit Stacey Dash is falling on her sword by denouncing Donald Trump and distancing herself from the conservative network.
During an interview with DailyMailTV on Wednesday, Dash claimed the right-wing focused outlet casted her as an “angry Black woman.”
“There are things that I am sorry for. Things that I did say, that I should not have said them the way I said them,” she said.

Dash claimed that anger led to her mistakes.
“I realized in 2016 that anger is unsustainable and it will destroy you. I made a lot of mistakes because of that anger,” Dash said.
“There are things that I am sorry for. Things that I did say, that I should not have said them the way I said them. They were very arrogant and prideful and angry. And that’s who Stacey was, but that’s not who Stacey is now. Stacey’s someone who has compassion, empathy.”
In 2015, Fox News suspended Dash for using profanity in reference to then-President Obama while on air. Just months after the incident, she joined Chris Rock on stage during the Oscars to poke fun at the backlash she was receiving for her hardline comments as a Fox contributor.
Some of her most notable comments include suggestions to end Black History Month and shutdown BET in the interest of equality.
Dash
even cosigned Trump’s statement following the 2017 Charlottesville
neo-Nazi rally in Virginia that there were “very fine people on both
sides,” and supported his claim that Mexican immigrants were drug
traffickers, rapists, and criminals.
But now, the Clueless
actress is attempting to turn a new leaf. In the interview with
DailyMailTV, she took aim at Trump’s role in the insurrection of January
6. Additionally, Dash apologized for the pain she had caused and vowed
to leave politics.
too little ............too late.
