‘Don’t Even Know How He Comes Up with These Things’: Niecy Nash-Betts Shares Her Reaction to Reading Grotesquerie Script for First Time

Niecy Nash-Betts who won her first ever Emmy for Netflix’s Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story for playing whistleblower neighbor Glenda Cleveland, is back with a new role in another Ryan Murphy body horror film Grotesquerie. She plays Detective Lois Tryon who teams up with nun-journalist Sister Megan Duval (Micaela Diamond) to uncover the motive behind a series of grisly murders which might be linked to paranormal activities.

Apart from hunting down the serial killer, Tyron also navigates her tumultuous relationship with daughter (Raven Goodwin) all while dealing with her husband (Courtney B. Vance) in long-time hospital care. 

It’s clear from the show’s title and its recently released trailer, that the series deals with themes of cult practices and other religious paranormal activities. When Nash-Betts first read the script she was disturbed by its dark themes. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she admitted that her “head popped off.”

“Where does this come from, Ryan? Who are you on the inside? What is happening in your mind?” she recalled saying to the director. To which he replied, “I don’t know. That’s just the way I am, girlfriend.” The Reno 911: Miami actor confessed that she was scared after reading the script because It “is a huge undertaking” especially for her who was playing Lois— officer investigating and witnessing the grotesquery.  

“Playing Lois was going to stretch me and my instrument. So I said, ‘Let me pick up the mantle. Let me lead the charge. Let’s do it,’” she added. When asked what aspect of the role she found intriguing Betts replied that she’s always eager to do roles she’s never done before. “She’s very troubled and very tortured, but at the same time, she has a big responsibility” and has to try and stop the homicides from being committed.

There is also “a level of mental fatigue and anguish that she deals with,” the actress added. Overall her character felt dynamic and unique and faced multiple challenges in her life, making it intriguing enough for Nash Betts to pursue. 

Grotesquerie will be released on September 25.

“No Scope For Change”: Chief Minister After Haryana BJP List Upsets Leaders

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today made it clear there will be no change in the candidates’ list announced by the BJP for the assembly election scheduled on October 5.

The Chief Minister’s comment comes after the BJP announced its first list of 67 candidates, following which the party faced protests from minister Ranjit Singh Chautala and MLA Lakshman Dass Napa, who were not given tickets. Both have resigned.

Mr Saini said everyone should put to rest any speculation about tweaks in the candidates’ list. He said everyone wants a ticket, but the “lotus” can be given to only one person.

“It is natural for ticket-seekers to get angry. But they will be persuaded,” the Chief Minister said at a party meeting in Rohtak.

Haryana Energy and Jails Minister Ranjit Chautala, 79, son of former Deputy Prime Minister Devi Lal, said he took a decision after a meeting with his supporters and will now enter the contest as an iIndependent.

Former minister Karan Dev Kamboj also stepped down as the state BJP’s Other Backward Classes (OBC) Morcha chief after he did not get a ticket.

Despite Mr Saini’s attempt to downplay the events, former minister Savitri Jindal, who had quit the Congress and joined the BJP in March, days after her son and industrialist Naveen Jindal had also joined the BJP, said she will fight from Hisar, even as an independent.

After quitting the party, Mr Napa met former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda at his house in Delhi, and later joined the Congress.

“No one has left the party… Karan Dev Kamboj and Lakshman Napa are our senior leaders… we will make them understand,” Mr Saini said.

The BJP is aiming for a hat-trick in Haryana, but faces a tough challenge from a resurgent Congress which is looking to cash in on the anti-incumbency factor.

Mr Saini is the BJP’s chief ministerial face for the assembly polls. The counting of votes for the elections to the 90-member assembly will take place on October 8.

In Gurugram, after Mukesh Sharma was announced as BJP candidate, party leader and aspirant Naveen Goyal revolted and resigned. Mr Goyal, state convener of the BJP’s business cell and head of its environment protection department, has now decided to contest as an independent.

Along with him, more than 150 party officials and workers announced they are leaving the party.
