Sherri Shepherd admits she once set up a hidden camera in her son's bedroom to spy on him and his girlfriend

• Actor and host Sherri Shepherd admits she hid a camera in her son's room when he brought his girlfriend over.

• In a new SiriusXM interview, she said she used DoorDash to buy the spy cameras and set them up while he was home.

• The 56-year-old also revealed that her son wasn't aware of the cameras or her antics.

Sherri Shepherd admits that she once hid cameras in her son's room to spy on him and his girlfriend.

During a SiriusXM's "Andy Cohen Live" interview, Shepherd revealed that she tried to keep tabs on her son and his girlfriend while they were hanging out at her house to make sure they were keeping things PG.

"The girl came over to the house and I remember calling Garcelle Beauvais and I was like, 'Oh my God, the girl's coming over to the house, and they want to kiss,'" Shepherd told radio host Andy Cohen. "And she was like, 'Girl, I know because, you know, I'm going through it with my son.'"

Shepherd ended up buying several hidden cameras on DoorDash with the intention of placing them around her house, she said. The 56-year-old hid the first camera in the family room before heading down to her basement to watch the video feed.

"He didn't know," the actor and television host added, referring to her son being unaware that his private moments were being caught on camera.

"I showed Garcelle pictures and I go, 'They're not doing anything.' And then I was like, 'Oh God, they're kissing. I can't.' And I couldn't watch it," Shepherd told Cohen.

The situation took a turn when her son invited his girlfriend up to his bedroom.

"I ran up before them and I said, 'Jeffrey, I gotta get the laundry,'" Shepherd said. "And I ran up because I had a camera, and it literally was like 'Mission Impossible.'"

Cohen, surprised by Shepherd's admission, then tried to clarify what was going on.

"Hold on, hold on. You ran up with the intention with this camera of putting it in his room?" Cohen asked Shepherd, to which she confirmed, "In his room."

"I tore up the box and I'm trying to read how you put the camera on WiFi, and I can hear them talking and they're coming upstairs, and I'm like, 'Oh my God,'" Shepherd said.

She added that she was trying to put the camera on the shelf, and the device finally connected with her phone as the young couple walked into the room.

And as it turned out, Shepherd didn't have to worry about her son at all, because nothing happened.

"You know what I realized? My son is such a gentleman," she said. "They play video games, and he would kiss her on the cheek."

Shepherd has since turned the camera off, she added: "Once she left, I turned it away and took the cord out."
