Union was quizzed over comments made by the Fox News correspondent last when week and responded with the ultimate shade.
Who is Stacey Dash? That’s what Gabrielle Union wanted to know when she was quizzed over comments made by Dash regarding the BET Awards. Dash is of course familiar to most as Dionne from 90’s classic Clueless, but these days she’s becoming more known for her work on Fox News, where she often appears a little clueless on important issues.
Gabrielle Union wants to know, ‘who is Stacey Dash’?
Speaking on Fox News last Wednesday Dash said, “If we don’t want segregation, then we have to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black.”

When asked her opinion on Dash’s comments during an interview with the Associated Press at the Sundance premiere of movie Birth of a Nation, Union jokingly responded: “Who’s Stacey Dash? Is she like related to Dame Dash? Was she on Roc-A-Fella (Records)?”
“I heard of a crazy lady once. Maybe last week? But I don’t know what her name is,” Union continued. “Yeah, I mean, it’s like why there’s a need for The Birth of A Nation and why there’s a need for the Country Music Awards and the ALMA (American Latino Media Arts Awards) Awards. If you don’t see yourself reflected in mainstream awards, you tend to create your own.”
“Until there is no longer a need for that, I celebrate the ALMAs, the same way I celebrate the Country Music Awards, and the same way I celebrate the BET Awards and the Image Awards, which we’ll all be at in a couple of weeks. The more that we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, I think that crazy lady will have less to say.”

Union’s comments quickly ignited twitter, where the actress was praised for her shade throwing skills as #whoisstaceydash began trending. But all joking aside, the actresses do actually have some history together. They both starred in 2004 movie Ride or Die, where Dash played ‘Real Venus’ and Union was ‘masked woman’. However we wouldn’t hold it against either of them if they had no recollection of this.
