Stacey Dash Reads Mean Tweets About Her Oscar Debacle: ‘You Looked Foolish and Sounded Dumb’

*Minutes after Stacey Dash made a fool of herself at the Oscars, the Fox News contributor went backstage to assess the reaction to her appearance on social media.

Surprise. It wasn’t positive.

If you recall, host Chris Rock introduced Dash as the “new director of our minority outreach program.”

*Crickets*

In video filmed backstage after the bit failed, she says, “I just walked off stage from the Oscars where I got no applause, no boos, nothing. People were, I think, awestruck. Which was a little disappointing.”

Dash says she made the Oscars cameo because she wanted to, and because Rock asked her to do it. In her own version of the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” sketch “Mean Tweets,” Dash then reads off tweets that range from “wtf” and “no one likes you” to “you looked foolish and sounded dumb.”

One viewer posts, “I was hoping there was a trap door on stage and @REALStaceyDash would fall through.” And another, “You sucked on the Oscars like you do on Fox News.”

Watch below:

Earlier this month, Dash spoke out about #OscarsSoWhite and questioned the existence of the BET channel and the celebration of Black History Month. When she took the stage, she told the audience, “Happy Black History Month!”

The inside joke likely went over the heads of the audience and viewers at home who weren’t aware of Dash’s comments.
