*Stacey Dash continues to live up to the movie she’s best known for.
The “Clueless” star turned Fox News contributor apparently wasn’t a fan of Patricia Arquette’s acceptance speech for winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in “Boyhood.” Arquette drew applause from the star-studded audience Sunday night as she demanded equal pay for women at the end of her speech.
“To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation, we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights,” Arquette said upon winning her first Oscar. “It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.”
So how did Dash feel about Arquette’s views?
“I was appalled. I could not believe it,” Dash said on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning. “First of all, Patricia Arquette needs to do her history. In 1963, [President] Kennedy passed an equal pay (law). It’s still in effect. I didn’t get the memo that I didn’t have any rights.”
We hate to break it to you Miss Dash, but according to a recent study published by the National Partnership for Women and Families, women in the United States are paid an average of 78 cents for every dollar paid to men, amounting to a yearly wage gap of $10,876 between full-time workingmen and women.
