Ebony Magazine put some trash talk in its December 16 article “Google’s Top-Trending Black Actresses of 2014.” They wrote nice things about actresses one through eight, but Stacey Dash was number nine, and the caption was pointed: “Her conservative, clueless political slant sparked controversy time after time this year, making Dash notoriously trendy for all the wrong reasons.”
Get the obvious joke? Dash is most famous for the movie and TV series “Clueless.” Ebony is headed up by former Obama social secretary Desiree Rogers. The next day on Fox News Channel’s Outnumbered, Dash talked back.
“If being a Fox News contributor and standing up what I believe in is wrong, then I’ll be wrong all day long,” she said.
HARRIS FAULKNER: How difficult is it to believe the way due and be in Hollywood?
STACEY DASH: It's not tough for me. I'm from the South Bronx. Bring it!
FAULKNER: Does anyone try to engage you in L.A.?
DASH: No. They wouldn't dare. Everything they say is behind my back.
Asked what she had to say to the magazine, she replied “Ebony magazine, thank you for the press, because any press is good press.”
