The Oscars aren't having the best publicity so far. The Academy has been criticized by its lack of diversity, with some of the biggest names in Hollywood speaking out.

Gabrielle Union & Jimmy Fallon Know How To Deliver Morning Announcements

In the midst of it all, Stacey Dash seemingly added fuel to the fire when she expressed her opinion on the controversy. "I think it's ludicrous. We have to make up our minds; either we want to have segregation or integration. If we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards, and the [NAACP] Image Awards, where you're only awarded if you're black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard [...] Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. We're American, that's it."

Her comments didn't sit well for many, including a BET exec who called the former actress "clueless" and, more recently, Gabrielle Union.

According to VIBE, Union was asked for her thoughts about Dash's comments during the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. The actress sarcastically acted like she didn't know who Dash was, saying: "Who's that? Who's Stacey Dash? Is she like related to Dame Dash? Was she on Roc-A-Fella? I heard of a crazy lady once, but I don't know what her name is" she said. "If you don't see yourself reflected in mainstream awards, you tend to create your own. Until there is no longer a need for that, I celebrate the ALMAs, the same way I celebrate the Country Music Awards, and the same way I celebrate the BET Awards and the Image Awards, which we'll all be at in a couple of weeks. The more that we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, I think that crazy lady will have less to say."

Gabrielle Union most definitely isn't having it!
