Stacey Dash publicly slammed Kanye West for comparing his interactions with paparazzi to rape.
The Fox News contributor once starred in West's "All Falls Down" music video. Their past connection didn't keep Dash from speaking with candor during Fox News "Outnumbered" segment.
West was recently booed during a performance at the Wireless festival in London on July 5. West went on one of his infamous rants on stage about the paparazzi:
"I want to bring my family to the movies without 30 motherf--kers following me," West told the crowd, The New York Daily News reports. "Everybody here, they like sex right? Sex is great when you and your partner are like, 'Hey, this is what we both want to do.' But if one of those people don't want to do that, what is that called? That's called rape. That is called violation.
"So if I walk around and say, 'Look, sir, I'm not feeling so good today, I need some space, can you please not f--k with me today?' I need cut-off space, not violation...I want my daughter to have that opportunity to decide whether she wants to be famous or not. I think to myself, what the f--k am I going to do, how can I change it and how can I give my daughter her childhood?"
Dash took West's comments to be disrespectful and a trivialization of rape. Dash argued the paparazzi are doing their job, and celebrities shouldn't give them a reaction. Dash claimed being polite to the paparazzi will allow them to get their shots and leave you alone.
"For Kanye to say 'rape,' maybe he needs to spend some time on Riker's Island, y'know, go to Riker's for a little while," Dash said during the Fox News show. "Then he'll know what rape is. I don't get celebrities not understanding that the paparazzi are doing their job."
