Niecy Nash says her son had a frightening encounter with Los Angeles police last Sunday that left her “a f–king wreck.”
The “Claws” actress, 50, said her son, Dominic, was stopped by cops, who “pulled a taser on him,” after he left her house.
“They pulled a taser on him for a rolling stop,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “And then proceeded to question him and ask him, ‘You have on a T-Mobile shirt. Do you work there? Because if you do, how did you afford this car? Because this is a 2020.’
“They don’t know if he was a manager. They don’t know if he was an owner. They don’t know if he had a rich mama. But what they probably felt like was, ‘How did this young black boy get a car that I don’t even have?’ And we fitting to make you suffer for it.”
The Los Angeles Police Department told Page Six in an email Tuesday that they “did not received information regarding that incident. Without a location of occurrence, we are unable to ascertain if it even occurred in our jurisdiction.”
The “Mrs. America” star also said that she doesn’t know how to answer questions she’s been receiving from people asking, “What can white people do? What can non-black people do?” — and that she’s just “trying to figure out what to tell my own son.”
“I used to say, if you just comply, get home, and if there was a wrong that happened, we’ll right it later. But now we watched a murder on national TV when George Floyd was murdered. I don’t know because he complied. He was in handcuffs. He was on the ground with his hands behind his back,” she said. “So I don’t even know. People are calling me, asking me to tell them something. And I’m trying to figure out what to tell mine.”
Nash, who also appears on “Reno 911” — which is about a group of cops — got together as a cast and donated $10,000 toward Floyd’s funeral.
