Sherri Shepherd Fires Back at Mystery Actress’ Shading Claims

by

Sherri Shepherd found beef on Broadway. 

As I recount my recent experiences, let me share an intriguing encounter I had at the enchanting premiere of Othello in New York City on March 23rd. The star-studded guest list boasted luminaries such as Jennifer Lopez, Vice President Joe Biden, and Dr. Jill Biden, alongside Nicole Scherzinger. In the midst of this glamorous gathering, I found myself engaged in an unexpectedly less-than-delightful exchange with a certain unnamed celebrity, adding a touch of intrigue to the evening’s festivities.

During the March 24th episode of her self-titled show, Sherri shared with her audience that she gets along with everyone genuinely. She recounted an incident where someone grabbed her arm and turned her around forcefully. Since she knew this person, she greeted them politely.

But the Emmy winner quickly realized it was not going to be a pleasant catch up. 

Sherri remarked, drawing shocked reactions from the crowd, ‘She told me, “You’ve been implying things about me a lot.” To which I replied, “I haven’t.” I was puzzled. She retorted, “Yes, you have,” and then she left.’

The Less Than Perfect alum explained why the interaction was so jarring for her. 

She explained, “I rarely disapprove or criticize others, so it’s probably just a single individual I may not agree with. However, I’ve never publicly criticized that anonymous celebrity.

Sherri, who is 57 years old, made clear that it felt mortifying to be publicly reprimanded in the presence of Devale Ellis and Khadeen Ellis – two individuals who were part of her peer group.

She expressed being upset, explaining that during the intermission, she chose to go into the restroom to address the actress once more. “It’s not right for you to spin me around as if we’re characters in a comic strip and then just leave,” she stated emphatically.

And now she has a message for her fellow star. 

She replied, “It seems you’re mistaken about who I am. Perhaps there’s some confusion between me and another personality – maybe a blogger or an influencer. But let me make it clear, I didn’t criticize you. In fact, when something controversial happened with you, I supported you through it all. So, to the unknown celebrity, who I’ve known for a while, I invite you over to discuss this matter on my couch.

To the audience’s applause, Sherri had one more thing to share. 

She summarized, “Misunderstandings happen quite often.” She added, “I’m incredibly kind and spiritual. If you ever need guidance or comfort, I can share some religious texts with you, make you feel better. But remember, I hail from Chicago. I don’t mess around in that sense.

In a playful remark that subtly suggested the celebrity’s hometown, Sherri’s producer, Jawn Murray, jokingly commented, “I believe she hails from Chicago as well!

While Sherri’s beef may be brand new, keep reading for more long standing celebrity feuds… 

Back in January 2024, I, Bobby (the one second from the left), felt compelled to clear the air about speculations of a rift with Tan (the charismatic one in the middle) that had been swirling around. This conversation took place a full two months after my announcement of stepping away from Queer Eye, following an incredible eight-season journey.

He assured Vanity Fair, “Tan and I are doing well, rest assured.” He added, “We encountered a situation, which is private between us, and it doesn’t involve the show. It was a personal matter that had been simmering for some time—and to make it clear, it wasn’t romantic in nature.

By March 2024, Tan faced accusations that he had been pushing for Jeremiah Brent, a friend of his, to take over Bobby’s role on the show “Queer Eye”.

He stated on Instagram that Netflix and the production companies conducted a thorough casting process. He never recommended his friend for the role. Instead, they secured the part because they were the most suitable candidate for the job. However, he didn’t play a part in their hiring by removing someone else from contention.

In a December 2023 episode of her podcast titled “Let’s Be Clear,” Holly Marie Combs, who previously worked with Shannen on Charmed, claimed that Alyssa had given an ultimatum to a show producer, demanding they choose between her and Shannen. This situation is believed to have contributed to Shannen’s departure from the show in 2001.

In February 2024, Alyssa stated on Instagram, “I didn’t possess the authority to dismiss anyone,” and added that “these events happened so far in the past that recounting them now by anyone is essentially rewriting history.

The following day, during a discussion at MegaCon Orlando, Shannen stated, “I am not witnessing any reinterpretation of history in the truth as I understand it.

Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a yearslong battle with cancer.

In September 2023, during a game called Stir the Pot on TopMob News with her daughter Kelly Osbourne, Sharon expressed that the former That ’70s Show star was the most impolite celebrity she had ever encountered. She referred to him as a “very rude boy” and a “despicable little thing.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Approximately five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that when Ashton was a guest on The Talk in 2014, he displayed an unfavorable demeanor following her mistake in pronouncing his name.

She remembered him asking, “‘Who are you, and what is your background in this field?'” To which she responded, “Kid, beware, because I could swallow you whole and spit you back out. So let me tell you, you’re not aware of the situation here, kid.

In August 2022, Cassadee and Brittany Aldean (wife of country star Jason Aldean) exchanged strong comments following a post by Brittany on Instagram where she shared a reel of herself applying makeup on August 23rd. In her caption, Brittany expressed gratitude to her parents for not altering her gender during her tomboy phase and stated that she enjoys living the feminine life.

In a TikTok challenge in the year 2022, JoJo Siwa called out Candace Cameron Bure as being the rudest celebrity. This was after an incident where Bure declined to take a photo with Siwa on a red carpet, making her feel slighted. However, not long after this remark, the actress from Full House apologized: “I hurt your feelings when I didn’t take a picture with you. I’m really sorry for breaking your 11-year-old heart.

After settling their differences, the two individuals were reconciled. However, several months down the line, Candace was queried about whether she anticipates the Great American Family network, where she holds the position of chief creative officer, to incorporate same-sex couples as main characters in holiday films. She expressed her viewpoint that this would not occur, stating instead, “I believe that Great American Family will uphold traditional marriage as a fundamental aspect.

In 2021, JoJo publicly identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community and expressed on Instagram that the actress’ remark was both unrefined and painful towards an entire group of individuals.

In June 2021, Courtney Love alleged that Olivia Rodrigo had copied the album cover of her band Hole for a promotional image without acknowledging the source. Rodrigo responded with “I adore you and I’m living through this so much.” To which, Courtney replied playfully, “Olivia – feel free to use that inspiration! My preferred florist is located in Notting Hill, London. Feel free to message me for details! I eagerly await reading your letter [winking face emoji].

While gracing the stage on “Watch What Happens Live,” I, a devoted follower, was inquired about my strained relationship with the esteemed actor from “Forrest Gump” during our time working together on the 1989 film “Turner & Hooch.

As a die-hard fan, I’d put it this way: “I was at the helm of that movie for 13 unforgettable days, then out of the blue, I received a summons to Jeff Katzenberg’s office. With a mysterious glint in his eye, he asked me, ‘Do you have all your things? Go home,'” he said.

It appears that Winkler found the canine costar of Hanks quite amicable. He expressed, “I hit it off wonderfully well with that dog,” and added, “I have a soft spot for that dog.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Supporters of the TV show “The Hills” might recall that well-known phrase, spoken by Lauren during season three’s premiere. The conflict between them originated when Heidi began dating her current spouse, Spencer Pratt, and reached its zenith when Lauren alleged that Heidi and Spencer had spread a rumor about her creating a sex tape with Jason Wahler.

Tension between costars flared up once more when Tyrese publicly criticized Dwayne on Instagram following the postponement of the release date for Fast and Furious 9 to April 2020. On the very same day, it was disclosed that a spinoff of the Fast and Furious series featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham would premiere in cinemas in 2019. A month later, Tyrese declared he might leave Fast 9 if Dwayne was involved in the film.

Later on, Tyrese disclosed details about their disagreement during an interview on the “The Red Pill” podcast with Van Lathan. He stated, “Up until now, I haven’t spoken to The Rock directly, but we will have a discussion.” He also mentioned that he had spoken with The Rock’s producing partner, though not with The Rock himself.

Tyrese admitted that he took on the role of communicating the sentiments of several individuals linked to the franchise, yet he was the sole one who expressed these feelings publicly. He acknowledged that this was a mistake on his part, stating it as unprofessional and uncool.

No more bad blood here.

For many years, Taylor and Katy had been involved in a long-standing disagreement, with some saying that it was the basis for Taylor’s song “Bad Blood.” The controversy, which is said to have begun over a backup dancer and rival tours, finally seemed to come to an end when Perry extended an olive branch – literally – to Taylor just before her Reputation Tour commenced.

In a recent Instagram post, Taylor expressed, “I’ve just discovered a real olive branch in my dressing room! It holds such deep meaning for me.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For many years, speculations of a feud between co-stars Kim and SJP from the show “Sex and the City” had been put to rest. However, these rumors resurfaced when Kim opted not to rejoin for a third film and made remarks about her fellow actress that left some questioning their relationship.

Andy Cohen inquired about Sarah Jessica Parker’s response when Kim Cattrall stated they were only colleagues, not friends, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live back in September 2017.

She expressed that she was deeply saddened by the situation we had discussed for a week, as it didn’t align with her memories of our past experiences.

She expressed, “It’s unfortunate, but it feels like…I can’t quite put it into words, yet I believe the common bond we share is this unique shared experience. It was a professional journey, yet over the years, it transformed into something deeply personal. So, I pray that this profound connection overshadows any recent discussions.” She added, “To have spent so many years engaged in something so meaningful and impactful is truly a rare privilege.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

 

The renowned musicians have been engaged in a long-standing dispute since 2004. During his acceptance speech for the Classic Songwriter Award at the Q Awards that year, Elton John expressed his discontent to the audience, stating, “Madonna, considered the best live act? I strongly object! When does miming count as live performance? I apologize, but I firmly believe that anyone who mimes on stage in public, especially when audiences pay around 75 pounds to witness them, should be criticized.

2008 saw a conflict arise between the star of the former hit show, Grey’s Anatomy, and its creator, when the actress chose not to be considered for Emmy Awards. She explained that her decision stemmed from not receiving suitable material that would justify a nomination.

Later on, Shonda discussed Katherine’s choice during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’ in 2012. She stated, “On one hand it hurt, and on the other I wasn’t taken aback. When people reveal their true nature, trust them. I often live by this rule, and it has proven beneficial for me.”

During the New York Fashion Week, there was a high-profile argument between Nicki and Cardi that caused quite a stir. A short while later, Cardi explained what had led to the dispute with Nicki.

Cardi stated in W magazine’s Art Issue that for some time now, she has been receiving numerous criticisms from someone. She had a conversation with this person on two occasions, and they reached an agreement. However, the criticism continued.

The primary cause of the dispute ignited when Cardi perceived that Nicki may have liked and subsequently un-liked a post criticizing Cardi’s parenting abilities, an action that Nicki has since disputed.

As a die-hard Bruno Mars fan, I was all set to rake in millions from his tour. But you know what? I chose to stick by my daughter instead. She’s my world, and I’m one proud mama! It baffles me when people who don’t have children pass judgment on my choice. They weren’t there when I was balancing motherhood with my passion for music. I wouldn’t dream of criticizing another artist in the grocery store or walking down the street, so why does it seem acceptable to them? The party might not have been the best time or place to discuss this, but I won’t be silenced when it comes to standing up for my choices as a mother.

The strained relationship between Kanye and Taylor Swift initially began in 2009 during her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, when Kanye interrupted her moment on stage with his “Stronger” performance. They reconciled years later and even developed friendship, but their bond dissolved again in 2026 following the release of his song “Famous,” where he made references to Taylor Swift.

On the eve of the Grammys in February 2025, Kanye made a change on Instagram: he chose to follow only Taylor. Without any additional explanation, the musical artist remained silent about this decision, and Taylor did not publicly acknowledge it either.

“I don’t know her.”

The ongoing feud between Mariah and J.Lo dates back more than 15 years. It began when Mariah, known as the Queen of Christmas, was asked for her thoughts on various singers during an interview. When inquired about Jennifer, she responded, “I’m not familiar with her.
