RIGHT & WRONG –
July 19, 2025 – Stacey is living a new life of sobriety following a string of high-profile controversies. She previously struggled with an addiction to Vicodin, telling Dr. Oz in October 2021 that she was taking between 18 and 20 pills a day at one point. At the time of the interview, Dash said she was celebrating five years of sobriety after going to rehab.
Stacey Dash is just as well-known for her controversies as she is for her iconic role as Cher Horowitz’s blunt-yet-caring bestie Dionne Davenport in the hit movie Clueless, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on July 19.
The actress, former Fox News contributor and one-time congressional hopeful is infamously outspoken — even at the expense of her career.
In 2018, Dash spoke to The Guardian about the backlash she faced for expressing her conservative viewpoints, claiming that it had affected her career as an actress. “I’ve been blacklisted,” she said at the time. “I don’t even get to auditions.”
Three years later, in March 2021, Dash apologized for many of her previous inflammatory remarks in an interview with The Daily Mail.
