Some Oscar viewers are still debating whether Stallone got robbed or if the Girl Scouts stunt was cute or cheesy. What we can all agree on, however, is this: That Stacey Dash cameo was weird.
In addition to eliciting this Chrissy Teigen reaction shot, the right-wing pundit's ironic "Happy Black History Month" shout-out during Sunday's ceremony sparked outrage and confusion from the Twittersphere. Since Jimmy Kimmel was busy, Dash took it upon herself to do a DIY take on "mean tweets" reading some of the strongly worded comments aimed her way.
"I just walked off stage from the Oscars where I got no applause, no boos, people were, I think, awestruck, which was a little disappointing," the Clueless star shared in the video clip below. "But you know, I did it because I wanted to... Chris asked me to do it and I love him and I support him. And I also think I should be the head of diversity for the Oscars."
Yeah, no. A sampling of the comments read aloud by Dash included insults like "nobody likes you." Still, the Fox News personality remained undeterred.
"There are a lot of people who don't agree with me and have a lot of very mean things to say, which I will never live down, but here's the thing," she responded. "I do what I do because I want to do it, because I believe in it, it has nothing to do with race... I believe we are all equal. You should stop feeling that way too, that's my suggestion. I don't feel inferior, nor do I feel superior. I'm very happy about what I did, and I'm proud of it."
Watch her video below (and yes, grammar nerds, she did include a typo).
After I got off the stage last night at the #Oscars, I thought I'd let you have a peak into my Twitter feed.
