Dash claimed that anger led her to make mistakes.
“In 2016 I realized that anger is unsustainable and will destroy you. I made a lot of mistakes because of that anger,” Dash said.
“There are things I regret. Things that I did say, that I shouldn’t have said the way I said them. They were very arrogant, proud and angry. And that’s how Stacey was, but she’s not Stacey now. “Stacey is someone who has compassion and empathy.”
