A fight between Stacey Dash and her 15-year-old stepdaughter has placed the actress in an unfortunate legal mess.
An update on the story awaits below…
The star dialled 911 during a heated argument with her family and explained that her husband had placed her in a chokehold after the spat between she and her daughter became physical.
She was arrested once the police arrived because she was accused of assaulting her husband and learned that she could face a sentence of one year in prison as a result of her alleged actions.
Now it has emerged that she has received a public defender after revealing that she has no savings or property of any value and is demanding a jury trial after pleading not guilty to the single charge of domestic battery.
Twitter users had this to say about her arrest.
I feel sorry for Stacey Dash that’s y I will never marry a man who has not put his foot down when it comes to having his kids from another female respect me. Her husband was suppose to have stepped n and handles them kids not out her n no damn choke hold tf.

Everyone is making jokes about @StaceyDash getting her negro wake up call today. That arrest was not racially motivated and I feel so sorry for her, she’s isolated herself and clearly doesn’t have any money or much support. Look how she’s living now in a regular apartment complex

The Stacey Dash jokes are flying, which is cool I guess, but like.. that woman might be getting abused by a husband who might have framed her to be arrested.. and.. that isn’t a funny situation

The troubling news doesn’t end there.
For, it appears that the actress, whose middle name is Lauretta, told police that she identifies as a white woman when she was booked.
@staceydash How’s that white privilege working for you? Maybe @realDonaldTrump will pardon you #DoNothingDonald

Update.
TMZ reports that Dash does not identify as a white woman and that she was listed as such in error.
A spokesperson for the Pasco Sheriff’s Department explains…
Stacey Dash was never asked her race by the arresting deputy, nor did she volunteer any information about her race. The arresting deputy assumed that she was Hispanic.
However, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office follows the Department of Justice Uniform Crime Reporting standards and, according to the DOJ reporting requirements the only allowable races are: Asian/Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Unknown, or White.
She wanted to get Black History Month erased, disrespected numerous Black leaders and now got jumped by a White man and his kids.
I. Do. Not. Feel. Bad.
This article is slander! To take a mugshot profile and state the arrested identifies as white is ridiculous. When you are arrested the police officer taking the mugshot photo fills out the form without asking you. The arrested person is NOT asked questions. Any claims that Stacey herself identifies as white is complete slander and no credible journalist would state that. It is okay to state her race is listed on the mugshot is white but to state Stacey herself identifies as white is certainly slander.
Furthermore the claim “Stacey has no savings” is slander too! CNN reported “she told the court that she couldn’t afford to hire her own attorney, the court documents said.” To spin that into Stacey being broke with no saving is slander! At bail court a judge asks the defendant simply whether or not they can afford an attorney anyone with common sense says no they cannot afford it because if you can afford an attorney then the judge increases the bail amount.
In the efforts of being yellow journalists, sensationalistic, and salacious…TGJ has sacrificed its integrity! What was once a nice UK music blog is now just crude exaggerations with a small-minded target of attacking black celebrities and creating fake stan wars of black female musicians.
I agree Jasmine but Stacey deserves to be made fun of because of the ignorant things she said about blacks in the past.
you are so RIGHT and no she doesn’t deserve it. you r the ignorant with your mainstream opinions. learn to think for yourself and be brave. in our world thinking outside of your base camp means isolation. which means a doomed society.
Thank you. AMEN. I can empathize with Stacey somewhat because by nature I think outside the box too. On this site for example I have been attacked, trolled, and even impersonated all because I think outside the box and refuse to be a conformist to easy / popular / uncreative opinion.
I 100% agree with you Jasmine. You talk sense.
Seriously? You mean to tell me the sister of Damon Dash has $0 in savings? A woman whose had a pretty decent career throughout the 90’s and 2000’s has NO properties or investments? She didn’t even get paid to be up Trumps ass? I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t feel sorry for the h**.
She’s Damon’s cousin. They’re not on good terms. Damon has money troubles too. That’s why he hit up Lee Daniels for his money.
Dame is still very much rich. He wouldn’t help her sellout ass even if she asked him.
ThatGrapeJuice posted comments from a Black woman with a blonde wig and a Black republican. You really looked for the 2 coooonish people defending her smh
??? The biggest wake up call to a c000ning ass b****.
According to the police report, she identifies herself as white.

I won’t run on here and lie, I do feel sorry for her even though she did all that messed up cr2p, others have done worse and is still being loved so I won’t run on here and be acting like no hypocrite.
Sooooo Stacey Lauretta Dash is a “white Female” LMFAOOO #Dead

She’s still more beautiful than any of you b|tches running here to comment. Y’all ugly ass h*** just jealous.
Speak for yourself! Ain’t nobody jealous of a blotchy, soon to be single, apparently white, broke asss female with an abusive 4th husband, white Bebe’s Kids for stepchildren getting her arrested, living in a hostile apartment and taking mug shots at 52 years old! CHOOSE WISELY, hoee! ? I stay laughing at people making dumb decisions! Stacey could’ve thrived in the black entertainment community but instead she’s poor in the white one! You’re defending her Aunt Tammy asss and she’ll be the first one to call you a Shayla ghetto queen! It ALL FALLS DOWN! ?
