Niecy Nash was on the Tom Joyner Morning Show this morning, talking about her divorce from her former husband, Pastor Don Nash.

I didn’t even know Niecy Nash was a First Lady till Sybil brought it up — and Niecy was very nice about the subject, saying her ex-husband Don was a great pastor.

That’s when she said it was too bad that she doesn’t go to his church anymore — presumably still the New Life Bible Church in Culver City, California? — but that was sad because he was really a great preacher.

Why Did Niecy Nash Get a Divorce?

Niecy has been respectably tight-lipped about why she and Don got divorced, believe me, because I’ve hunted down the reason.

This Ebony piece talks about just how long they were in and out of divorce court, and Page Six has the standard announcement from last year.

Blackarazzi has a cool little video interview with Niecy Nash, and the brotha sounds like he’s almost tryin’ to holler at her in that red dress as she walks away laughing.

Date Jesus, Niecy Nash Says…and Sneak

So Niecy said it’s time to date Jesus after you go thru a bad divorce, because guys can “smell the brokenness on desperate” single moms.

Niecy, by the way, has three kids.

Nash sad we can’t be like single moms in the 1970s with elastic-around-ankles pants on that brought home a new “Uncle Jimmy or Cousin Bobby” or some man every other week.

But she admitted to sneaking and not telling them everything about going on dates and such — “that’s not from the Bible, that’s from the Book of Niecy,” she laughed.

I had to look down at my lap and smile when Niecy said that one guy she dated after like five minutes was handing her his script, DVD and all this other stuff — he wanted the connection hook up, obviously not just her.

But the divorce thing sounded sad and serious.

Yet in true Niecy style, she lightened things up by talking about the guys who appear on her “Clean House” show that actually try to hit on her in the midst of their mess.

It’s not even like they’re at the club faking and you don’t know their mess, Nash said.

They’re trying to bring the mess into your life, she continued.

That wasn’t Niecy Nash’s butt!

Duh…I just realized when Jay Anthony Brown (was it?) was talking about Niecy Nash’s fake butt on that Reno 911 red carpet premiere where Nash wore a prosthetic behind.

So I owe her BIG fake butt an apology because I was surely judging her behind when I saw those photos in a thong with what I thought was her real “make it jump like this” junk in the trunk out there like that.

I’m sorry.

And Googling around, I see I’m not the only one who fell for the okey-doke.

Niecy’s cool in my book.
