'Clueless' star Stacey Dash selling $50 shoutout videos after career imploded post domestic battery charge
'Clueless' star Stacey Dash has resorted to selling shoutout videos online for as little as $50 after her career imploded following her domestic violence arrest last year. She recently announced her divorce from her husband, Jeffrey Marty.
It seems the actress has fallen on hard times as she is using video-sharing website Cameo to sell personalized shoutouts, joining a host of former Disney child actors, reality stars, and other low-grade celebrities, Daily Mail reported.
In her introduction video on the platform, Stacey is seen dressed in sweats and sitting on her doorstep. She tells her fans, "Hi, it's Stacey Dash, I am now on Cameo. Send me your requests and it is my pleasure to answer them. Thank you, so excited."
Fans have apparently been enjoying her new stint as she has received 32 five-star ratings. "Thanks so much Stacey! I will cherish my video from you forever. This was everything i could have hoped for. Been a huge fan for a long long time," one of the fans wrote.
After acting offers dried up, the Republican actress ran a failed campaign for a southern California congressional seat in 2018. Then last year, during a blow-out argument at their Florida home, Dash reportedly pushed, slapped and scratched her husband, who is also an attorney. Initially, he brought domestic battery charges against her but later dropped them.
Incidentally, it was Dash who called the police to her home after claiming that her husband had placed her in a chokehold. Later, however, in bodycam footage, the authorities were seen handcuffing the actress and placing her in the back of the squad car.
Pasco County Sheriff's Office deputies who arrived on the scene said they observed the accused's husband having red scratch marks on his left arm. She was eventually bailed out by her husband, and in October, prosecutors dropped the charges against her.
On Thursday she informed her fans via Instagram that she and her husband had decided to get a divorce.
"Hello Everyone, My husband and I have made the hard decision of ending our marriage. After much prayer, I feel this is the right path for both of us. I wish him nothing but the best. Thank you everyone for your support and respecting our privacy during this difficult time," her post said, which she captioned, "#Love #Faith #StaceyDash #Redeemed #Warrior #Grace #LifeLesson #Jesus"
She disabled comments on the post.
The actress, best known for playing the role of Dionne in the 1995 teen movie 'Clueless,' was previously married to Brian Lovell, James Maby, and Emmanuel Xuereb. She has 28-year-old son Austin Williams from a relationship with singer Christopher Williams and shares 16-year-old daughter Lola with Lovell.
During the coronavirus lockdown, Dash has been posting inspirational messages on Twitter, urging her fans to be active.
"Staying in can become boring after a while, but the spaces we live in don't have to be! Taking on a new little project can be fun and keep you busy. What do I suggest? Rearrange your furniture! Has anyone tried this already? What room did you rearrange and how did it come out?" she tweeted on Thursday.
