Fox News’ clueless contributor Stacey Dash once told Meredith Vieira that women need to “work harder” and “stop complaining,” but bankruptcy documents expose the actress as a fraud. Dash was once bankrupt and surviving on $6,000-a-month handout from her fiancé because she couldn’t get enough work as an actress in Hollywood.

The Daily Mail claims they found Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings that the Clueless actress filed back in 2004. They say she was in debt, had no income, and was subsisting on financial help from her fiancé with $7 in her checking account.

Eleven years later, she told Vieira, “I guess I won’t put my fate into anything other than my own action and taking my destiny in my hands.”

When it comes to the gender wage gap, women need to simply “work harder” and “stop complaining.” Dash said, “It’s an excuse. Stop making excuses. If there are opportunities, seize them. And be prepared for them. And be the best, if that’s what it takes. If you have to be extraordinary, be extraordinary.”

Oddly enough, old bankruptcy documents unearthed by Daily Mail Online, show the Clueless star was once drowning in debt and living off the man — $6K-a-month support payments from her then-fiancé James Maby.

According to the docs, Dash filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy back in May 2004, just a decade shy of appearing on “The Meredith Vieira Show.” With only $28,582 in assets, Dash owed creditors a whopping $157,703.53, citing more than $70K owed to the IRS in unpaid taxes in addition to $3,378 to the California State Franchise Tax Board. Other debts included $500 on a charge card purchased at Best Buy, $38,200 on a Citi Advantage Credit Card, $110 to Mobil, $480 to Macy’s and $133 to Saks Fifth Avenue.

Then, Dash, 49, only had $7 in her checking account and $4K in household goods, clothing, furniture and electronics. Among her possessions were photographs, costume jewelry, and a 2001 Mercedes Benz ML320. The self-employed actress listed her monthly expenses as $5,934.76, but listed no personal income at the time of her filing. The only funds she had was $6K a month from her fiancé at the time.

Vieira tried to informed the actress that women only make 70 cents on the dollar compared to men, but Dash disputed that.

“I don’t know if that’s true,” she said. “I know that the numbers are true, but I feel like your daughter will be able to make as much money as she wants in her life. Just like you are. I mean, look at you.”

The TV host went on to tell Dash about her history of being paid less than her male counterparts: “I guess i won’t put my fate into anything other than my own action and taking my destiny in my hands. I will not play victim to anything.”

In 2005, Dash wed Maby, the second of three husbands. However, in 2006, the short lived romance ended in divorce. The duo share a daughter, Lola. Dash’s bankruptcy closed that same year, in July 2006, stating she had no assets to disperse.
