Sherri's Startling Confession: "I had more abortions than I would like to count"
Filed under: TV News
The View co-host Sherri Shepherd recently made some startling revelations to Precious Times, a magazine for today's black Christian woman.
On life before Christianity:
"Before I converted to Christianity, I was a Jehovah's Witness. In 1993, my mother was dying from diabetic complications. My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses. I was in a very physically abusive relationship. I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count. I had very low self-esteem and just wanted to die. I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn't even make a difference. But God showed me that it would make a difference."
She also tells the mag that that it is hard being 'taken to task about her faith' on The View:
"Oh sometimes I say, 'Lord, Juanita Bynum or Joyce Myers (evangelists) would be so good at this table. They could lay hands on Barbara Walters and get her saved. I ask the Lord, 'Why am I here?' I have to trust God when He says, 'Because I said so.'"
Wow.
That's some eye opening stuff!
We wonder if the ladies of The View will talk about this on the show????

well, she is right. barbara walters is the devil.
Wow.. disgusting
Join the ranks of many women…..
NEXT
fucking baby killer,,so now she is a christian and everything is good…fuck that shit all baby killers go to hell……………………IGNORANT STUPPID BITCH…
I bet if they were like cheeseburgers she wouldn't have a hard time counting them at all.
What a fat pig she is!
Abortion is a hard subject to talk about, especially with all the religious nuts out there! I'm happy she was able to say something honest, most people have to keep those parts of their lives hidden.
Yeah u r right, y dont they talk about this? Frickin slut! U can tell that shes fu*ked up… "Its Ok for me to use N word but its not for u" blah blah blah, shut the hell up u stupid ass bitch. Now we can see who u really are… abusive relationships my ass… u a HOE!
eeww
joyce meyers would be awesome on the view !!
What was startling to me is she considers Jehovah's Witnesses NOT Christian. While many believe it to be a "cult", it is a recognized Christian sect. You can go do a different denomination (like Catholic to Baptist), but you were always "Christian" (Believe in the divinity of Christ).
It's official, she's is nuts. She was a bad choice to replace Star Jones
What a crock of shit. I hate when these religious do gooders all of a sudden see the people around them as needing to be "saved." Be an example! don't talk that shiz!!!!!
IIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!
Save the babies! Shoot the whores!!!
This is a wonderful example of the way that Jesus can redeem a life. Also, since He has called Sherri to the platform of The View to spread the Word about Him, He will certainly give her the strength, knowledge and wisdom to know what to say.
Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians - they talk about Jesus and following Jesus - what is she talking about?
she's gross.
Hmm, She was eating at Taco Bell alot back then, maybe they weren't abortions.
I used to think she was a crazy nut because all I ever saw was her stuff on here or on the HuffPo…then a friend got me watching the show and I like her in spite of some of her quirky ways. She is sweet and has a kind heart. I think it was brave of her to make these confessions and to show that there is a side of her that is real.
I bet now Elisabeth will judge her for that. I HATE Elisabeth.
I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR A REALITY SHOW CALLED CELEB ABORTERS. EVERY WEEK WE COULD HAVE MADONNA AND SHERRI COMPETE TO SEE WHO HAS HAD THE MOST ABORTIONS. WHOEVER WINS GETS A GOLDEN HANGER!
It's nice that she is being so open & honost. I know that if I were in the public eye, I wouldn't reveal myself to that extent. I am a very religious person myself, and it is so hard for me to comprehend that people have abortions like that…as a form of birth control. How do you let yourself get pregnant that many times? I personally think that is so sad & tragic that we live in the kind of world where people are so selfish & careless, and have such little values.
Yeah for Sherri that she turned her life around & wants to be a good example & to make a difference.
Why does Barbara Walters need to "get saved?"
Growing up in the OC and being very Popular I remember Girls having Abortions in the 8th Grade By the Time we got to High School They Used to know us By first Names at Inglewood Womens Hospital. There is such a Thing as Being too young to have baby.
What a bunch of crap. I am SO sick of self-righteous religious freaks who used to :sin" throwing this crap in our faces. Shut up already loser! You don't even know that world isn't flat!
You know, I am SICK of these people giving Jehovah's Witnesses a bad name! I know SEVERAL Jehovah's Witnesses and I KNOW FOR A FACT that they do not condone abortion! Also, just because you attend the Kingdom Hall (their place of worship) every now and then does NOT make a person a witness! I would like to say for the record that Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT have abortions! Sherri really needs to stop trying to stir up controversy. What I really respect about JW's is that they do not say one thing and do another. They do not involve themselves in politics (they never have!), they are honest, and have high morals. They do NOT celebrate any holidays as the origins of these celebrations are pagan (look this up in any encyclopaedia in your city or town!) and they are HONEST people! Sherri has some real issues with the church and I believe that IF she was really a JW, she was disfellowshipped from the church for her grossly immortal lifestyle. Also, murder is wrong…fetus or no, murder is STILL wrong, and definitely a disfellowshipping matter! MOST churches out there allow any and everything to go down on their watch. In other words, MOST religious leaders say one thing and do another. This has NEVER been the case with JW's! No, they are NOT perfect, but they do not tolerate hypocrisy in their ranks! Sherri, please shut up and get some class. Also, if you have a problem with this faith, keep it to yourself. After all, you made no one but YOU look bad!
How many abortions does it take before you see the light?
She's such a stupid bitch. I swear she has an iq of 70!!! Get her off the view!
Lay hands on Barbara Walters. LMFAO I love Sherri. YOU GO GIRL!
Re: Chip – there is also such a thing called BIRTH CONTROL moron……. and i wasn't aware you had to be popular to have an abortion. but now we all know. thanks !!
JESUS CHRIST! THIS FUCKING WOMAN IS A TRAIN WRECK TIME AFTER TIME. WHO THE HELL SCREENS THESE BITCHES BEFORE THEY ARE CONTRACTED?
YOU , PEZIE????
wow, that is some heavy stuff. I give her alot of credit and respect for sharing this. God Bless her for being honest. Jesus Saves!!
Good for her for being honest. Once she became a Christian and told God she was sorry for her sins, her slate was cleared. Everyday is a new day thanks to God.
um.. I don't think Barbara needs to be "saved" What a cocky ass, condescending statement. Funny how it's only the unstable people with fucked up lives that suddenly find Jesus. No one with stable lives who are level headed do, FOR THE MOST PART. I hate that evangelical shit
.
Remember, this woman also is unsure if the world is round or flat.
who the fuck is this?? this isnt starr jones? is this some new woman on the show?
And I'm sure she says…I can have abortions because I'm black and it has a different meaning for me…but you're white, so you're not allowed to have abortions because it's just a whole different meaning for you.
Joyce Myers is cool. I actually like what she has to say.
Awesome. Love her!
more abortions than i would like to count WHAT THE FUCK WOW THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST FUCKED UP THINGS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY GODDAMN LIFE

Hypocrites. You don't need Jesus to save you. How bought use your free will and make your own decisions good or bad. Don't use religion as a crutch. You can still be an honest, moral, good person without believing in GOD.
She needs to SHUT her Mouth!
Many people need to stay in the Closet!
Just because you are a self proclaimed Christian and a celebrity does not mean you aren't going to hell. I wish holy rollers would just shut the fuck up and be an example instead of throw their opinions in your face like you care. I've lost all (which was little) respect for Sherry. The View is nothing but a bunch of old hags that bitch and complain about things….not the kind of energy I like to have.
wooow, it seems they still left some baby remainders in her, she looks a couple of years pregnant…. time to replace the bateries of the vacuum cleaner dear!!
Bitch is absolutely retarded
Re: ImTehShizDealWithIt –
Shut up Rhoda Feinstein!!!!!!!!!!
Ruffmama is right, it is very brave for her to admit to her past. She is going to get alot of crap for it, but at least she changed how she was living. I can't link to the story and I really hate to comment on something that is picked out of an article without seeing its context.
Disgusting, pathetic, ignorant excuse for a human being. Go crawl in a hole and die, Sherry. People like you should not be allowed to address the nation. Your stupidity is beyond what I originally thought. I seriously think this woman is mentally challenged, not be mention pure evil.
I think what she said wuz very brave of her. You go girl! HIGH FIVE!
jehovahs witnesses are christians so what the heck is the difference between being a JW and christianity? and JW do not condone abortions so in reality she was only fooling herself if she thought she was a jehovahs witness.
Re: Chip – THERE IS SUCH A THING A PROTECTION TOO, DUMBASS!
GOOD THING SHE GOT ALL GOD LIKE IN TIME TO BE A HIGH PROFILE OBAMA SUPPORTER!!
Whoa. She let it out before someone else did it for her.
That's why I hate organized religion. You can do any cruel, evil thing you can think of and you have to do is say your sorry and it somehow wipes away all your sin. What BS! Take some personal responsibility. I guess we should let all the criminals in jail out that have converted to Christianity since God has forgiven them, how can we let the secular Courts and jail system supersede Gods will.
I personally lead my with the credo treat others how you wish to be treated. I don't need religion to tell me the difference between right and wrong, I have something called common sense!
Re: GOD –
No babies are involved in abortion.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that abortion is murder and premarital sex is wrong. She should not call herself one and then live that kind of lifestyle. And Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians. I wouldn't be going around telling people that I slept with anything that had the right parts and killed more innocent little babies than I can count. Unreal.
What a ding bat….between her and Elizabeth….who can watch this stupidness.
Re: TRUTH – TRUTH…You cannot say in any unequivocal manner that there is any religion that follows each and every edict to the "tee" while you may know many Jehovah's Witness, there are many who have fallen short. Granted they may not believe in abortion, that doesn't mean that they don't have them. Putting preaching to practice is totally different when it's your life. I don't necessarily condone abortion, but the only thing I hate more than abortion is an abused, poorly cared for child. You will never know how many Jehovah's witness, Catholics, Jews, Etc… have abortions, vote, have pre-marital sex, etc…because we are all human. Part of evolution, is being able to learn the capacity to decide and forgive. Don't pretend to believe that you know every detail of any worshipers private life. You don't, just as I'm sure they don't know yours.
Heterosexuals carry on so much shit too!
I can't believe she said that her boss, a Jewish woman, should be 'saved'. Barbara Walters should fire her uneducated ass. Seriously, what kind of moron doesn't know the earth is round?
Re: T – I am not trying to mean, but…for Jehovah's Witness to not believe in abortion or premarital sex. it's might funny you can always tell them, by the number of bastard babies following them? Just saying…
shes a fucking hippo and i mean that literally and figuratively (hypocrite)
Hard to believe that anyone would actually impregnate the pig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: hotti –
Birth control can fail. My son is living proof of that.
so i have no qualms with the fact that she had abortions, but i just absolutely hate this woman. They need to take her off the view like NOW, she is just so fucking stupid.
Re: Chip – oh my god are you serious?! that is tragic! no disrespect or anything but that is very young. hopefully all turned out well.
Barbra Waters does not have to be saved .Sherie got that wrong. I find that w/ people, famous ones and just regular people , say that are saved and anyone who is not Protestant or "saved," is not. You know. Sherrie , it is good she redeemed her life 100 fold. That is way too much info to say publically . Old news. Too persoanl. You really do not have to express all to the public becaus e some cannothandle it or understand. It is just not necessary.
BTW, I am Catholic and KNOW I am saved and everything else. Protestants have said that we Catholics are not . BS!! It is truely how lives his /he life that shows God the Father and other people if you are 'saved."
Re: TRUTH – Ok you, I read 1 line to that rant b4 that mess & nonsense hurt my eyes. Next time paraphrase that shit
Why do these retard celebrities think that their lives are so hard, millions of people deal what shit like that everyday, and they are stronger and survive without having to rant about it to millions of readers or listeners, that just makes her WEAK.
I personally
