Stacey Dash Arrested For Domestic Battery, Her First Starring Role in Years
If you’re in your 50s and you want to get your name in the headlines because you used to be famous, there are probably better ways to do it than going all Amber Herd on your husband. Someone should have let Stacey Dash know this before she got arrested for domestic battery.
Now, spousal abuse is no laughing matter, so even though I’m about to make a bunch of jokes about it, don’t think that I’m downplaying the significance of what Dash is accused of. But there are a lot of things to laugh at her about here.
For starters, Dash is the one who called 911, claiming she had been attacked. TMZ reported that Dash claimed her husband had choked her, which Dash, through her manager, denied,
2:55 PM PT — Stacey’s manager, Nick Terry, just put out a statement claiming our report of Stacey’s husband choking her was “untruthful.” However, if you listen to the 911 call, you hear Stacey very clearly state her husband put her in a chokehold and claim she had marks around her neck.
2:10 PM PT — We’ve obtained the 911 call in which you hear Stacey tell the operator she’s been assaulted by her husband. She claims the husband’s 15-year-old daughter got into her face, and that started the whole situation.
Basically, when the police arrived, Dash’s husband showed signs of having been assaulted and she didn’t, so they arrested her. So it seems like her cunning plan backfired.
But it does get funnier. Dash had to explain to the officer that she was in Clueless, which was a movie, and she had been on Fox News.

I feel like asking Stacey Dash if she’s “in anything right now” qualifies as police brutality. The last thing Stacey Dash was in was a YouTube Red movie where she was billed way lower than Logan Paul. She was also in Sharknado 4 and one of those Hallmark movies your mother likes. Well, and this. More people have probably seen this video than anything she’s been in since Clueless.
