Shonda Rhimes’s Petty Tweet About Stacey Dash Makes Us Laugh & Kills Dreams at the Same Time

Stacey Dash Makes Cringe Worthy Cameo at the Oscars

Shonda Rhimes alluded to the fact that she had big plans for the dress via Twitter saying, “Let me be petty: I had goals 4 dress Dash wore and now the gown has to be dead to me.”

Here’s What Happens When You Tell Kids that Stacey Dash Wants to Cancel Black History Month
