Don't get it twisted!

Niecy Nash has been opening up about her personal life over the past few months since she shocked the world with photos of her getting married to her "hersband" Jessica Betts. The pair had been quarantining together for months, unbeknownst to us, and then proposed to one another on the same day. That Nash had only been seeing men previously and was known as -- some would say aggressively -- heterosexual, meant the news was a surprise to many. But as the Claws star has said in multiple interviews, she wasn't suppressing a part of herself previously. She was just dating who she liked, and now she likes Betts.

According to a new interview on the Red Table Talk which will air Wednesday on Facebook, Nash had "never been with a woman before" Betts. She was famously known for being "strictly dickly" and was married to two men prior, and has three children. But, after starting out as friends with Betts, along the way things changed and they both began to view one another differently.

"My daughters were like, 'Wait what?' " Nash told Jada Pinkett Smith in a clip, previewed by People of coming out to her children. "My youngest daughter, she reminded me, she was like, 'Wait a minute mom, are you the same mom that was like girl, I'm strictly dickly?' And I was like, 'Wah, wah. Like yeah, but no.' "

"And my son was like, 'Wooow.' "

It all comes at an increasingly busy time for Nash who is hosting The Masked Singer. She also reportedly has a daytime talk show on the way, and will star in a new Ryan Murphy project about Jeffrey Dahmer's victims.
