Niecy Nash-Betts gets candid on Hollywood sex scenes at 55: ‘It's stressful'
The claws are coming out for Niecy Nash-Betts. The actress, 55, opened up about sex scenes in the entertainment industry, while talking with Helen Mirren, Kathy Bates, Parker Posey, Keri Russell and Cristin Milioti during the Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actress Roundtable. 'Well, I was never the ingénue,' Nash-Betts told the ladies about past roles. 'Then, when I turned 45, it was like, 'And now we want you to be naked.' You waited until now? I was fine to play the part, but the days that you have to film intimate scenes, it's stressful. And I think it's men who do these call sheets because they put them at night. They think it's sexy. No.' 6 Helen Mirren, Kathy Bates, Niecy Nash-Betts, Parker Posey, Keri Russell and Cristin Milioti. Beau Grealy for 'The Hollywood Reporter' When it comes to intimate scenes on camera, the 'The Rookie: Feds' actress knows exactly what time of day works. 'Let's do it first thing in the morning, when this man just got out the tub and he's not smelling like a field mouse,' Nash-Betts explained. 'You go through all the heart palpitations, the closed set. 'Was my side meat a little too jiggly? Are my kibbles and bits covered?' And then they don't use it! I put myself out there to be that vulnerable, literally exposed, and you don't use it? Now I got an attitude. Stuff it back in there somewhere!' Milioti, 39, couldn't agree more. 6 The Hollywood Reporter sit down. Beau Grealy @beaugrealy 'I can get a little myopic about it,' the 'Black Mirror' star stated. 'I get defensive of the character, and I'm like, 'Why did they cut that thing that she says that explains this, this and this?' I forget to zoom out and think about the story as a larger piece. Much later, I can get why something was cut, but in the moment.' The powerhouse group also discussed being typecasted in Hollywood, with Nash-Betts revealing she feels she's had a variety of different roles throughout her career. She noted, 'I've lived a lot of lives as an actor — doing something as loud as 'Reno 911!,' and then you slide all the way over and that pendulum hits 'Jeffrey Dahmer.' I don't know what it would say [today] because it depends on which version of me they're looking for.' 6 Niecy Nash in 'Claws.' ©TNT/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection Although she's unsure of what version of herself she's looking to pull out now, Nash-Betts did add, 'I love that I can make people laugh and cry. I do not take it lightly.' Despite having a roster of variety, the 'Claws' star recalled one moment in particular that didn't sit well with her. 'I had it right to my face,' she said. 'I auditioned for something early in my career, and the two producers looked at each other and said, 'She's got a cute face. You think she can lose weight?' And I was like, 'Guys, she can hear you. She is here. And, no, she can't. Now are y'all going to give me the job?'' 6 Niecy Nash in 'Reno 911!' ©Comedy Central/Courtesy Everett Collect / Everett Collection Nash-Betts got the part, but as she remembered, 'I don't even know if I was the best one, but they probably felt so embarrassed.' After Mirren, 79, asked if she lost weight for the role, the 'American Horror Story' vet responded, 'No. I went home and ate a cookie.' Elsewhere in the sit-down, the 'Reno 911!' alum also got candid on her current romance. Nash-Betts was previously married to Don Nash from 1994 to 2007, before remarrying in 2011 to Jay Tucker. 6 Niecy Nash at the Disney 2025 Upfront. The pair split in 2020, and she went on to tie the knot with Jessica Betts that same year. Now, Nash-Betts is happier than ever – despite being told the union could derail her career opportunities. 'Everybody has an opinion! There were people who were like, 'Your fan base has known you to be a certain way, and you need to stay right there. Otherwise, you'll never eat lunch in this town again,'' she admitted. 'Some of that comes from older generations, family members, and that's how they think. But I've always been a person who does one thing: what I want to do.' 6 Niecy Nash hosting 'Clean House.' Style Network/Courtesy Everett Collectio / Everett Collection Looking back, Nash-Betts knows she made the right choice, sharing how the singer, 42, has been a constant support system for her over the past five years. 'And I'm going to do it all the way. I give very little thought, if any, to what somebody else thinks about it. I cannot even imagine my life without Jessica,' she expressed. 'This is the greatest love of my entire life. I would not even be able to enjoy my work as much as I do without that kind of support. So I did what I wanted to do. I don't regret it. I would do it again. As a matter of fact, we are about to celebrate five years.' Now, the wives are ready to celebrate their love story once more in honor of the five year mark. 'We're about to do another vow renewal,' Nash-Bettes told the table, 'a big party, just so I can say 'In your face' to whoever told me not to get married.'

Chris Brown arrested in UK on 'bodily harm' charge after alleged 2023 incident
Chris Brown arrested in UK on 'bodily harm' charge after alleged 2023 incident Chris Brown has been arrested in the U.K. The Metropolitan Police confirmed to USA TODAY on May 15 that a 36-year-old man was arrested at a Manchester hotel just after 2 p.m. on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. While the department does not release names of possible suspects, they confirmed that "the arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square (London)" from Feb. 19, 2023. "The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit." "He has been taken into custody where he remains," the statement added. The Crown Prosecution Service, a government agency overseeing criminal prosecutions, confirmed Brown's arrest in a May 15 press release. Brown's first court appearance is scheduled for May 16 at Manchester Magistrates' Court. "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial," the agency said. "It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings." The arrest comes months after Brown, 36, took legal action following the release of a documentary that explored his alleged history of violence. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Brown for comment. Brown's Breezy Bowl XX World Tour begins June 8 in Amsterdam with support from fellow R&B singer Bryson Tiller. Chris Brown sues Warner Bros. for $500M over 'A History of Violence' documentary In January, the singer-songwriter sued Warner Bros. Discovery and several others for their role in the production of "Chris Brown: A History of Violence," a documentary film chronicling Brown's alleged pattern of abuse. He is seeking $500 million in damages, alleging libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Brown's star was heavily tarnished in 2009 when fans learned that he had assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna on the night of the Grammy Awards. Photos showing Rihanna bloodied and bruised after the attack were leaked to the public at the time, forever altering Brown's reputation and kicking off more than a decade of legal troubles. Chris Brown's history of alleged violence Brown's history of violence against women has ratcheted up in recent years. In 2017, a restraining order was granted to ex-girlfriend and "Claws" actress Karrueche Tran, mandating that Brown stay away from her after she alleged that he was abusive toward her. In 2018, an anonymous accuser represented by women's rights lawyer Gloria Allred sued Brown, alleging he had trapped her in his home and forced her to perform sex acts for his friends. In 2019, the singer was accused of raping a woman in Paris, but he was released without charges. This was followed by a July 2024 lawsuit, which alleged Brown and members of his crew severely assaulted four men after a concert in Texas.
