The cast of TNT’s “dark comedy” Claws posed on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere on Friday. Claws is about a group of nail techs in tiny Palmetto, Florida whose devotion to each other is tested when one of them commits murder. The crew includes L-R: Judy Reyes, Jenn Lyon, Carrie Preston, Niecy Nash and Karrueche Tran.

Claws star Niecy Nash, left, posed with the premiere’s DJ MC Lyte. Niecy plays an ambitious nail salon owner who struggles to make ends meet by trafficking prescription drugs on the side. Her no-nonsense character is so shameless that she engages in a loud sex session with her drug-dealing partner in a back room of the salon — in full ear shot of her customers.

Karrueche, left, with comedienne Loni Love (The Real), plays a gold digging slut who is hired by Niecy to sub for Preston’s character who just got out of prison. Karrueche returns the favor by sleeping with Niecy’s drug-dealing partner. Niecy and the other women drag Karrueche by her hair extension’s out of the salon and drops her face down in the parking lot. In a later scene, Niecy’s drug dealing partner assaults her and is shot and killed by Karrueche.
And that’s just the first episode.
