Back when Clueless hit theaters, fans probably would've had a hard time believing that Stacey Dash would become one of Hollywood's most controversial stars. Alas, today is not 1995, and in more recent years, Dash's viewpoints and outspoken nature seem to have taken the wheel. Here's how she ruined her career. The beginning of the end for Dash's public reputation was her affiliation with frequently criticized right-wing talking heads like Piers Morgan and Sean Hannity. In 2012, she kicked off her career as a political commentator by appearing in a single episode of Piers Morgan Live. A cameo on Hannity followed shortly thereafter, and by 2014, the star was an official Fox News contributor. Unfortunately, her newfound TV success didn't last as long as her fervent support for Donald Trump. According to reports from Us Weekly, Dash was "temporarily suspended" from her position less than two years into her contract following an outburst during an episode of Outnumbered, in which she claimed that then-President Barack Obama didn't, quote, "give a s---" about terrorism. Dash only managed to cling on for a few more months until her contract was up for renewal, and the network gave her the axe. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this came in the fall of 2016 after numerous controversial rants on topics like transgender rights and immigration, as well as using the Pulse nightclub tragedy as a Donald Trump endorsement. This didn't go unnoticed by the Twittersphere, which was so unsympathetic that her firing basically became a national holiday. One user wrote, "Dear karma, good job on Dash." And that appeared to be the general consensus online.
