Sherri Shepherd Addresses Abortion Comments

Originally posted 07/23/2008 03:15PM



The View co-host Sherri Shepherd is not "flippant" about abortion, she said Wednesday while addressing some controversial comments she gave to a magazine on the subject recently.

Shepherd, 41, told the Christian magazine Precious Times that she had undergone "more abortions than I can count" during her twenties. But the article, Shepherd said, did not tell the whole story.

"The full quote was I suffer from a lot of shame and guilt, and I didn't know how to forgive myself," said Shepherd, clarifying her comments in the current cover story.

In the publication, geared toward churchgoing black women, she credited her conversion to Christianity with saving her from a lifestyle of "sleeping with a lot of guys."

It's not everyday that Janet Jackson drops by to make someone's dream come true. But on The View Tuesday, the pop star did just that. Specifically, Jackson gave co-host Sherri Shepherd a pair of tickets for her fall concert – so that Shepherd wouldn't have to sleep in the street to get some. When Jackson – clad in white –dropped by, a visibly ecstatic Shepherd jumped from her seat to embrace her pop idol. "I'm such a fan of yours," she enthused while the crowd cheered. "I have every album; I have every poster; I have all of your program books. Aside from Michael, you are my second favorite, girl."
