In case you haven’t heard, professional homophobe Stacey Dash was arrested in Florida on a domestic battery charge over the weekend.
The 52-year-old failed actress and Trump devotee was taken into custody on Sunday by the Pasco Sheriff’s Office in Land O’ Lakes, just outside of Tampa, after she violently attacked her fourth husband, Jeffrey Marty, who she married last year.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Now, body cam footage has been released showing Dash making small talk with her arresting officer as she is led away in handcuffs.
“I’m an actress,” Dash tells the officer. “I did a film called Clueless.”
To which the officer, feigning interest, responds, “OK.”
Later, Dash says, “I did politics for a while. I was a FOX News contributor.”
To which the officer, still not impressed, replies, “Oh, OK. That’s pretty cool.”
Watch.
During her time “in politics,” Dash regularly made offensive remarks about the LGBTQ community, including calling being LGBTQ a choice and suggesting trans people pee in the bushes rather than use public restrooms.
“Go in the bushes,” she famously quipped to Entertainment Tonight in 2016. “I don’t know what to tell you, but I’m not gonna put my child’s life at risk because you want to change a law.”
Also in 2016, she blamed the Pulse massacre on Barack Obama. She was eventually let go from her gig at FOX News after she threw a profanity-laden temper tantrum on live TV.
The Twitter response to her arrest has been pretty unified…
For once I don't regret finding out why Stacey Dash is trending.

The news is coming too fast and I'm getting confused, so let me get this straight…
Stacey Dash beat up Rudy Giuliani at a Civil War picnic hosted by Jeff Flake in Australia all because Chris Collins resigned?

Today, Dash filed legal papers claiming she is indigent, meaning she can’t afford a private lawyer so she’s asking for a public defender to handle her case.

Wow, trying to get the star treatment for a movie she did nearly 25 years ago. It would be like Tara Reid trying to get out of a speeding ticket by saying “I was in American Pie!”.
“”Also in 2016, she blamed the Pulse massacre on Barack Obama. She was eventually let go from her gig at FOX News after she threw a profanity-laden temper tantrum on live TV.””
Just my 2 cents. Was she really let go from FOX for that, or was she let go because there was no longer a black president and FOX didn’t need to have a black person on camera to deflect accusations of racism? The timing was VERY coincidental.
Either way, she certainly seems like a sweet person and a wonderful dinner guest. (Eye Roll).

This is just disappointing! I had no idea she was some MAGA nut and LGBT hater! Boo, and she is reaping the awards of being a looser, she couldn’t make 500 dollars bail or afford a lawyer, and is trying to name drop clueless, does she know how badly that film has aged?! Teenage girls calling hot boys “baldwin” after the baldwin brothers, no the baldwins are not teen girls aspirational boyfriends anymore, and she is not hot news, if she spent less time hating she might have done better!

Shame on you, Queerty.
Yes, she talks about her career, but ONLY in response to the officers question about what she does for a living. The officer was clearly making small talk to keep her calm and establish a trusting rapport.
Your headline and article clearly infer that she was using her fame as a way to make points or get out of something, etc… and that is not the situation at all.
Look, I like your site but if this is the kind of “reporting” you’re going to do then I’m out! Do better or just admit that you bend the facts for your own storytelling purposes.

You expect Queerty to give the benefit of the doubt to an anti-gay, Trump supporting Fox News contributor? It’s entirely reasonable for a website like this to express a little joy over the arrest of such a vile person. Seems very “fair and balanced” to me. Isn’t that what Dash should want?
Cam
Translation: Reporting on the anti-LGBT bigot upset you.
Gigi Gee
GFY, anti-gay bigot lover!
Twiggy01
Actually, Topshelf, Cam, and Gigi Gee…I DO have a problem with incorrect reporting. If it were reversed and the subject were a member of our community instead of a hater you would be up in arms about it.
And btw, Cam and Gigi Gee…I didn’t say anything about how I felt about the actual incident so your assumptions about my opinions on the matter are, shall we say, ill-informed.
If you all had your way Queerty would be the online, gay version of Fox News, irresponsibly posting articles with made-up or omitted facts to make the story fit the agenda instead of telling the whole truth and letting the facts bear out.
You should demand that WE always do better than Fox News.

I thought it was going to be like the Reese Witherspoon incident but no, she was just politely answering questions. I hate you Queerty for making me defend her.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
“watch the bushes” little bit of Karma for a miserable vile crunt who told Trans people to pee in the bushes….

Stacey Dash is a vile, soulless human being, but your headline is misleading and unfair. The cop was pushing her to reveal information about what she did for a living. All she said was, “I’m an actress.” When he pressed further and asked specifically what she had been in, she said “Clueless,” which is what most people would know her from.
Craig
The most click-baity headline ever. She was hardly bragging about starring in Clueless. In fact, it took several questions about her career before she even got that specific.
