: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that in a recent interview with Precious Times magazine, Sherri Shepherd told intimate details of her life before she converted to Christianity.
Here's one of her confessions:
I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count ... I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn't even make a difference.And here's what Sherri said about her boss Barbara Walters:
Oh, sometimes I say, 'Lord, Juanita Bynum or Joyce Meyer would be so good at this table. They could lay hands on Barbara Walters and get her savedWe love you for your honesty Sherri (and we especially love the fact that you're a MediaTakeOut.com reader). But girrrrrl, you better be easy with that Barbara Walters talk ... you could find yourself on the unemployment line.
I wouldn't call that brave, I'd call that too stupid to pop a free pill in your mouth or slap a patch on your thigh to avoid repeatedly ripping babies out of your womb because you think that's the only form of birth control. I'm not anti-abortion, but more than you can count? And you're really telling people this?
I don't think Barbara Walters runs her show as a democracy, she will fire you. Don't bite the hand that feeds you when this is the best gig you've ever gotten so far. But then again she has already proven stupidity is her forte.
Let's see how quick Barbara gets rid of her. Most hoes find Jesus I know quite a few. After they get tossed around by many, many then the get SAVED. Well at least she is not a christian that proclaims she did nothing wrong and just judge others. CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL! ------------------ Even a donkey gets tired of being an A**
I got you @ Lion-S. And my reply wasn't to knock your opinion or anything. Her story seems so unnecessary to me but I guess there are some things people really feel they need to get out. When Gabrielle Union talked about her vicious rape it was absolutely stunning to know she'd survived such an ordeal and moved on successfully. Stories like hers actually help people. In comparison, I wonder what is this woman's motivation? Is she a victim of her own excessive carelessness and self-detriment? Does that even count? I'm sure she expects some backlash but I hope she doesn't expect any pats on the back for admitting that crap.
Too much information from this Pear and I don't think there are two people left in world that care to listen to Juanita Bynum. Why would Barbara need to have Juanita or Joyce at the table if and when he is ready for BW doesn't matter who is there. She should ask him to come into her presence and shut her mouth some things better left - in the past.
oh no!!!! I was just starting to like sherri on the view too. I was thinking to myself, she is not so dum as people say she is. She is bright enough to be on the view. Oh no Sherri!! Stop talkin, please. I don't want you to lose that job. I was so happy for you. Please don't mess this up. Just focus and stick to business matters all that other side stuff. As Vivica would say "...put that where? back there..."
Oh so now y'all judgin' her? What she is doing is showing that everybody has a testimony of how they were brought out of despair, destruction, and no where to turn, until they tried Jesus. Half of y'all are probably going down the same path she did, and her testimony shows that you can do something different, you can change your whole life around, you can be saved if you just ask God to step in. All you have to do is ask Him to come into your hearts, and He will
Sherri Shepherd is another so-called BLACK CHRISTIAN who says being GAY IS A SIN WHEN HAVING ABORTIONS IS AN EVEN GREATER SIN BECAUSE YOU ARE KILLING ANOTHER BEING GOD IS TRYING TO CREATE INSIDE YOU...SHE IS GOING TO HELL!...SHERRI IS A SINNER!....HAVING ALL THAT PRE-MARITAL SEX OUT OF WEDLOCK...SHE NEEDS TO CHECK HERSELF AND ALL HER SINS SHE WILL BE GOING TO HELL FOR BEFORE SHE SPEWS ALL HER HOMOPHOBIA OVER THE AIR WAVES!...
“Abortions” is plural, as in more than one. I'm not being an a$$ or picking with folks but that's what her statement implies. I don't think people are reading anything more than what she stated. If that's not what she meant, then she should have worded it differently. Besides, it's not uncommon that some people use abortion like birth control and have multiples so she very well could be admitting that during that period in her life she had more than one. Makes sense, people that don't care about their own lives don't usually care about the lives of others. In fact, I read the entire excerpt from the article and that's basically what she way saying. I hope that she is trying to use her experiences as a learning tool to teach about the redemptive powers of God and not to generate buzz about her. (Though I can't imagine why anyone would share something such an intimate, painful and shameful experience for any other reason than as a cautionary tale.)
ARE YOU PEOPLE REALLY BELEIVING SHE SAID THIS??? This site is starting to lose so much credibility with me and most of you are not helping the case either. First of all, why would she even discuss something so personal like the number of abortions she's had with a no-name underground magazine?? (or maybe I'm the only one that has never heard of "Precious Times Magazine") Secondly, even though you all may think Sherri is not the brightest buld in the pack, one would think that after the Star Jones/Rosie O'Donnell debacle that got her the job she would have enough sense not to make any mention of Barbara Walters in ANY context.
People stop feeding into everything MTO says......alot of this stuff is bullshyt judt to keep you entertained. Stop being house negroes!!!!
@Bulboy sin is sin you need forgiveness for every level of sin so if u think u dont think again abrotion and homosexuality is diffrent being gay is an on goin sin your gay yesterday today and will be tomorrow not like shes killing babies everyday (i have nothen against gay people btw) atlest she was talking about it openly and she is admiting it was a huge mistake no one is perfect and they r all friends they jokinly talk side ways about each other no big deal AND THAT WASENT THE FULL INTERVEIW stop picking out what you want and OMG not like she is saying i had abrotions yahhh!!! shes looking back on her life and talking about the things she regreats i saw her talk about it today LAY OF SHERRI
I really didn't know Sherri as a celeb before The View. Now that I do, she's got a lot of maturing to do. She acts as if she knows nothing to keep an intelligent conversation going. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt after she said the world was flat!!
She screams like crazy if one of her favorite celebs comes on the show. And the "N" word conversation and her response to BW has made me not too keen on her any more. She praises Whoopi likes she's some Goddess. Sure, Whoopi has won awards and is the only black to do so but treating her like a Goddess is not necessary.
Sherri said she's had a lot of abortions yet had to endure infertility treatments with her husband. That's a sign that she created her own infertility via either the multiple abortions or by contracting a disease from one of those men. That's one story I wouldn't tell a soul.
ABORTION SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL...BUT, THAT'S STILL A PERSONAL CHOICE BETWEEN BOTH ADULTS AND THE UNBORN...NO ONE KNOWS THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES BETTER THAN THEM...I HOPE WE LEARN HOW TO MAKE MORE INFORMED DECISIONS BEFORE WE GET OURSELVES IN THOSE SITUATIONS...BUT, THAT'S LIFE.
...BUT LMAO TO THOSE WHO THROWING STONES IN A GLASS HOUSE...LET ME SEE YOUR DOCTORS RECORDS HUN?...I BET YOU SENT PLENTY OF BABIES BACK TO THE ETHERSPHERE...
SHERRIE IS OUTTA ORDER NO DOUBT...BUT, SHE MADE HER OWN CHOICES IN LIFE...SO WE CAN'T JUDGE
So now that's she making some folding money...she feels free to tell us she's a Baby killer...She Murders her Babies...I would had kept this information to myself...she really comes across as a dumb Ass...and her co-host Elizabeth who also has her head in her ASS..SHERRI SHEPHERD..THE DUMB BLACK CHICK on "THE VIEW"...WHO WANTS THE WORLD TO KNOW...YEA GIRL I MURDER MY BABIES..UMM HUH NO BABIES UP IN HERE...JEFFRIES HER SON must be lucky she laid still to have him
Well the women did mentioned she didn't care weather she lived or died. Why would she care about babies if she doesn't care about herself? The problem is, she hated herself and being promiscuous was her way out. She isn't doing this anymore so her problem must of been deeper then her being a slutbucket. Now for women who isn't depressed or suicidal, what are their excuses for having all these damn babies?
Barbara Walters has acclompished more than this chick ever has. And, is much more respected than this chick could ever hope to be.
If it wasnt for Barbara and other females like her who opened the door for women in Journalism, there would be no View.
She needs to watch her mouth and show some respect.
Also, stop airing all your dirty laundry. Thats a private matter that should be kept to yourself. Nobody asked her all that.
I for one can Judge...I gave birth and had my 2 babies in this Lifetime...Every woman knows when she lays down with a Man she just might be making a life form...she knows that!!!..I myself could NEVER Murder my baby who is growing inside of me...NEVER..but then again that's just ME!!..I dont understand Sherri...why would she want to share something like that and also what her husband did and how he cheated on her and had a baby with another woman when she was married to him...what is her point...I can't feel sorry for the woman..for she comes across as soooo dumb...she's shameful how she put's her business in the street
You dont convert to Christianity and all of sudden become a genius. She just told the world:
"I'm an Idiot. I couldnt learn from my mistakes the first, second, or third time. Thats how dumb I am. I'm so stupid I couldnt go out and get a condom, the patch, some spermicide, the shot, or the pill. Now everybody listen to my opinion every weekday morning."
I know NONE of the people who are calling her a murderer and a baby killer cannot CLAIM to be Christian for Matthew Chapter 7 says: 1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
In laymans terms, God will judge you by the way you judge others. If you are a "judegmental Christian" God will treat you the same way. If you are a true Christian you understand that God puts you through things for a reason so that when you are saved you have a testimony for the others who are like you used to be. I'll be praying for you Sheri!!!
WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS ON HERE AND THAT IS WHAT THIS SITE IS DESIGNED TO DO...
BUT, LET ME DROP A JEWEL ON YA...
WHERE IN YOUR CHRISTIAN BIBLE DOES IT SAY THAT IT'S OK TO JUDGE SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR "SINS" WHEN YOU HAVE "SINS" OF YOUR OWN??? I THOUGHT THAT WAS "GOD'S" JOB...
IF SHE IS STATING THAT SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO "CHRIST"...WELL ISN'T THAT THE PURPOSE OF BEING A "CHRISTIAN"??
THE BOTTOMLINE IS...I CAN UNDERSTAND BRINGING ISSUES TO THE LIGHT TO TAKE AN OBJECTIVE LOOK ABOUT HOW WE CAN CORRECT OUR WRONGDOINGS.... YES YOU DO HAVE TO CALL PEOPLE OUT BUT IT SHOULD BE TO EMPOWER THAT PERSON TO DO BETTER FOR THEMSELVES....
SHE IS A SELF-PROCLAIMED DUMMY BUT AT LEAST SHE IS TAKING AN OBJECTIVE LOOK AT HERSELF TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES IN LIFE...THAT TAKES A REAL PERSON TO DO...IF YOU ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT SOMEONES "SIN" TALK ABOUT YOUR "SIN" TOO...THAT MAKES IT RELATIVE...
...BUT, WHEN YOU COME ON HERE AND TALK ABOUT ...I WOULDN'T DO THIS...AND SHE IS GOING TO HELL FOR DOING THAT...WELL I SAY...WHAT THE FU*K ARE YOU GOING TO HELL FOR??
THE SAME PEOPLE ON HERE WILL SAY IN ONE THREAD WHEN SOMEONE IS F*CKING FOR MONEY..."YEAH GIRL...GET THAT BREAD"....THEN SAY "SHERRIE IS GOING TO HELL"....
STOP WITH THE HYPOCRITICAL BULLSH*T...COME WITH SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY FOR ONCE..
You know what's funny MTO steals most of their stories, alot of there "MTO Exclusive" are just a front. The same stories are on other sites that cover these stories days before. MTO stop acting like you always find things out first, besides 90% of the time your wrong. Advice for MTO employee's............CATCH UP!
I SAW THIS ON 8OSSIP 2 DAYS AGO. MTO YALL ARE LATE AS HELL. IF YALL WOULD STOP UPDATING EARLY IN THE MORNING ONCE A DAY YALL WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE OTHER STORIES THAT COME IN.
AND I HATE WHEN HOES GET ABORTIONS. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE RESPONSIBILITY USE A FUC*IN CONDOM OR KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED. THERE ARE TOO MANY STUPID HOES IN THIS WORLD.
Man it's real easy to judge this woman but we all know this is the secret that women don't like to talk about. I agree she could have probably used more discretion. We all been in situations like that. Alot of women are in denial about abortion. Some are even lying on this thread. Obviously she hasnt had a lot of meaningful relationships. SMH. Let's learn from this.
She should have kept this to herself. Dave Chappelle should do a skit on her a/s/s "When keepin it real goes wrong" and show her in an alley on crack after being fired from the View. She is slow as fyck. I hate when people say things just to get props. And this is what she was doing. She want people to be like, "Sherri is keeping it real" When in reality she is a chickenhead on daytime TV. NO, NOT EVERY WOMAN HAS HAD AN ABORTION. THERE ARE SOME OF US OUT HERE THAT KNOW HOW TO FYCK WITHOUT GETTING KNOCKED UP! IT'S CALLED PLANNED PARENTHOOD. I can't believe one of the posters thinks abortion is the norm. I hate chicks that uses abortion as a form of birth control. If you've gotten pregnant once and wasn't ready, cool. But to have a gift card to CHOICES is out of control.
oh yea she read this huh...well i see she aint keep it THAT real far as how many stds crept up in dat p*s$y (nahh, cant keep it THAT real, lol)...but yo 1 thing i do know about any1, whether they saved or not, the FREAK inside NEVER leaves you! so she can't say watva but i dont believe u u needz more people. n if she still is like dat - look mama...im young, hung well n could definitely use a good t!tty f*k...lol
She is representive of the modern day woman...so wrapped up in her own over-inflated self-ego to care about anything or anyonelse. I read some where that black women are 4 times as likely to have abortions than any other groups...and that the rate of abortion among black women is climbing.
This is feminism..."do whatever the fukk you want to do because it's my body." The worst part is she is speaking as if she has just discorved the cure for AIDS. Fukking pathetic
i applaud sherri for admitting to having had past abortions. ABORTION is the word and the act in the black community that is still in the closet. this is very clearly evident by the ignorant women on here who keep posting, 'she should have kept that to herself.' why? so that other girls can feel alone or that its ok to keep having abortions? no, once you speak on something then it can come to the light and be revealed for what it truly is- a lie, a sin, a wrong. she has confessed her sins and accepted christianity. and in case folks didn't know BLACK WOMEN HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF ABORTION IN AMERICA-SITTING AT 37% OF ALL ABORTIONS! so it is very HYPOCRITICAL for any woman or anyone else on this site to judge her and say she should have kept it to herself when, according to the statistics most of the black women on here has probably had their own abortion or knows someone who has, and both parties are just shrouded in painful silence. well its time to break the silence, so that other black women can know that they are not alone, that this is a HUGE problem in our community, and to start addressing the whys and the needs of the women who feel the need to have an abortion in the first place.
Sherri really strikes me as the type of person that says airhead sh*t without thinking. She couldn't possibly been having an inordinate amount of abortions cause then she would have had problem conceiving that child of hers she's always talking about.
I mean I'm not judging her, but what was the point of mentioning that. cuz there are way too many little girls out her now thinking thats a means of birth control...when it's clearly not.
sherri is just a waste on space on that show with her ghetto attitude, shes a idiot, and for her to say shes religious and talk bad about her boss that makes her the biggest idiot on the planet. here is a women that was on tv talking about her family says the n word all the time and its a greeting and a term of endearment.shes a fat skanky chicken head
THIS MAY BE OFF THE SUBJECT, BUT EVERY WOMEN I'VE EVER MET WHO WAS A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS WERE ALWAYS THE BIGGEST SLTS I EVER MET. I SAY SLUT INSTEAD OF WHORE, BECAUSE WHORES GET SOMETHING IN RETURN FOR SEX. ALL THESE GIRL EVER GOT WAS, USED,DISEASED, AND PREGNANT. WHAT IS UP WITH TAHT RELIGION???
I'VE NEVER BEEN PREGNANT(OR WANTED TO) NOR HAVE I EVER HAD AN STD, BUT THEN AGAIN I NEVER MET A MAN WHO HAD PROBLEMS USING PROTECTION. DAMN! ALL YOU SHOULD HAVE TO DO IS SPEAK UP. IF HE REFUSES-PEACE OUT. BUT THAT'S ME, MY HEALTH COMES FIRST. I'M GLAD SHERRI GOT HER LIFE TOGETHER, BUT SHE BETTER NOT GET AN ATITUDE IF PEOPLE TALK [EXPLETIVE] ABOUT HER BECAUSE SHE COULD HAVE KEPT HER BIG MOUTH SHUT.
ReadingisFundamental--Are you guys actually reading was written? She said she has had more abortions than she CARES to count. For all you know that could be one. There's a big difference between the two statemets. At any rate, it's her body and her choice.
SHE SAID SHE HAS MORE ABORTIONS THAN SHE CAN COUNT..NOT THAT SHE CARES TO COUNT.HAVING MORE THAN U CAN COUNT IS MORE THAN 1.SO YA..JUS LIKE I STATED IN MY PREVIOUS STATEMENT,SHE DIRTY AND USES ABORTION AS A FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL WHICH IT CLEARLY STATES,SHES PATHETIC.CHILD KILLER.
Sherry is an embarrassment to intelligent black women everywhere. Whoppi may not be as fashionable as the other view hosts, but her intelligence is equal or above others (Sherry and Elisabeth) on the View.
Sherry is so smart telling a Christian magazine that her Jewish boss need to be saved. She a smart one, isnt she.
and all you people on here preaching the bible...shut up please. and all you people on here with all these statistics about black girls having the highest rates of abortions...bullshit white girls have abortions at the same rate except they neglect to get stats on that. Ive been around enough of them fast ass white girls to know.
