Similar to her character on the BET hit series Being Mary Jane, Gabrielle Union certainly did not bite her tongue as it relates to fellow actress Stacey Dash and her recent comments made about diversity in America. The shade was so real when Union was asked about her take on Dash's comments. Her response was unbelievable.
Union has joined the likes of many celebrities who have not-so-nice words to say about the Clueless actress since she voiced her opinion on diversity in America, according to Rolling Out. During a segment of Fox & Friends, Dash expressed how, in an effort to be rid of segregation once and for all, Americans need to eliminate black networks like BET, awards ceremonies like the Image Awards, and also, black history month.
The video of Dash's remarks soon went viral, causing people like Whoopi Goldberg, Marlon Wayans, Roland Martin and even her own family member, Dame Dash, to weigh in on the topic.
Union, however, is taking a different approach. To her, Dash doesn't even exist, and no one knows who she is.
While attending the Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday Jan. 26, Union was asked in an interview what she thought about the comments made by Dash. "Who's that," asked Union of the former VH1 Single Ladies. "Who's Stacey Dash? Is she like, related to Dame Dash? Was she on Roc-A-Fella?"
43-year-old Union referred to Dash as a "crazy lady," according to Perez Hilton, and suggested what she thinks will keep Dash quiet once and for all.
"The more that we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, I think that crazy lady will have less to say," explained Union.
Though Union expresses her lack of association with Dash, and claims to not know of her, the two did work together on a film that was released back in 2004. Ride or Die, also known as Hustle and Heat, starred both actresses, in addition to Vivica A. Fox, Duane Martin, Meagan Goode and comedian Faizon Love.
