Dash was talking about the president's Sunday night address to the nation

Stacey Dash is no stranger to controversy for her remarks on Fox News, but now the cable network has suspended the contributor.

Dash, 48, an actress and alumna of Paramus High School, was suspended for two weeks for using profanity during a Fox broadcast on Monday, The Wrap reports.

The offending moment came after Dash called President Barack Obama's Sunday night address -- in which he spoke about terrorism and the recent attack in San Bernardino, Calif. -- "an epic fail."

"I felt like he could give a sh** -- excuse me -- like he could care less," she said.

Separately, Lt. Col. Ralph Peters was also suspended for two weeks from his contributor position at Fox Business Network after he called the president "a total p****." 

In a statement, Bill Shine, senior executive vice president of programming for Fox, called Peters' and Dash's comments "completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air. " 

"Consequences," Dash tweeted after her TV appearance. "Some of us have to pay them. Gladly."
