Niecy Nash: The Power of Loving Yourself Out Loud
2026-10-29
The two-time Emmy award-winning actress and star of Hulu’s all women divorce drama All’s Fair - Ms. Niecy Nash-Betts - joins the Podcast. Nicknamed “The Range” in Hollywood for her extraordinary ability to transcend both comedic and dramatic roles on television and in the movies. Oprah talks to Niecy about how from a young age she manifested her acting career. The two discuss Niecy’s marriage to her ‘’hersband,” Jessica Betts, after being married twice in the past to men. Niecy shares why she didn’t feel the need “to come out” and the mistakes she’s made as a mother to her three adult children. Niecy also takes questions from listeners about her fan-favorite show, All’s Fair on Hulu - now in its second season - and reveals what it’s like working on and off the set with her powerhouse co-stars Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Teyana Taylor and the legendary Glenn Close. And caregivers take note, Niecy talks about the challenges she faces providing care for her elderly father.
