Sherri Shepherd Jokes About Giving Up Child, Divorce from Ex-Husband

Sherri was on The View for the first time since a judge ruled that she was the legal mother of an 8 month old that she and ex-husband Lamar Sally had through surrogacy. Shepherd had a change of heart during the pregnancy and divorced her husband, but was still ruled to be responsible for the child. The episode was pre-taped only two weeks after that ruling, so the subject was pretty fresh.

Shepherd's open dialogue started when Raven Symone explained how impatient she was to have kids, to which Shepherd responded, "Girl, I got one or two you could have of mine. I will give them to you."

The topic then changed to the importance of friendship and how it affects relationships, with Shepherd explaining of her failed marriage, "I actually feel like if I had listened to my best friends, I wouldn't be having a million attorney’s in my life right now."

Still, joking about her struggles wasn't something Shepherd was shy about doing, concluding the topic of discussion with, "My father still wants to kill my husband… Dad you're 70 years old. What you going to do now?"
