Hello World,
Me and Sherri 🙂
By now, many of you have heard the latest news about one of my favorite Christian celebrities Sherri Shepherd….She is going through a divorce…
While I don’t profess to know her, I have met her twice – once at ABC News’ “Nightline” debate “Why Can’t a Successful Black Woman Find a Man?” in 2010 and again just last month when Sherri debuted her new wig line LUXHAIR NOW. As a result of meeting her at the debate, she agreed to be interviewed for my first book “After the Altar Call: The Sisters’ Guide to Developing a Personal Relationship With God.” I believe that her story in my book is one of the reasons why I scored a book deal in 2010…
When I saw her just last month, she seemed to be as positive, upbeat and friendly as she has always been…She gave no indication of the private turmoil she may have been experiencing…And that’s the key: privacy…Her pending divorce is a private matter…Now, let me not be hypocritical…As a self-pronounced pop culture expert and celebrity aficionado, I love to dish and dice the latest and most provocative pop culture and celebrity stories…But since I feel have a personal connection with this celebrity (although most minute I know), I have elected to take the stance of her friend Niecy Nash who was asked her opinion about Sherri’s struggles…Take a look at her brief interview with Hip Hollywood below…
Any thoughts?
I think its pretty sad that (we) take other people’s unfortunate and stressful life events as times to indulge in gossip and satisfy our own desires to “get the scoop.” I appreciate your approach to the matter. I, too, praying for her!
I agree, and thank you for praying for her too…I’m sure she appreciates it 🙂
My heart goes out to Sherri Shepherd. I feel like these two men (& I use the term loosely) have decided to gang up on this hard working, loving Mother. I will definitely pray for her!
