And complaining about Sherri...nada...commenting about the fact that she decided to expose her sister as well...yep and I believe it's wrong. I don't care what you decide to tell about YOU...but family should be left out. But we're talking about Sherri and no one ever said she was one of the sharpest knives in the drawer.

For me: if a person is comfortable exposing him/herself that's a personal choice, as long as they feel they can take the weight of public criticism, so be it. And why complain about someone else's self exposure anyway? How does that affect you??? God puts us through things so that our testimony can uplift others. You never know what other sister has been in Sherri Shepherd's shoes; and might benefit from that testimony.

Besides, the big conversation about that article was whatever it was she said about Barbara Walters... it was supposedly a joke that did not read right on print in the article and the next day Sherri was apologizing like a madwoman. Miss Walters was in Paris that day and Sherri called her and Walters said she was already in heaven... because she was spending a day in Paris. I don't have to worry about my siblings telling my business because they closed vault secretive anyway, lol! And most of the stuff they got into happened between my infancy till I was about 10...and I did not care, lo0l! Sherri runs her mouth all the time…and I think at times Whoopi tries to give her signals on the air to get her to shut up.

Raven--yep she was backtracking today. Let me see if I can find the article/statement and post the link here.

Apparently, she is getting a heck of a lot of flack from it. I didn't see it, but it is wriiten that she came out on The View and stated that the author of the article didn't write exactly what she said. And she was very sorry about the abortions, felt guilty blah, blah, blah. Heres' the thing. Its obvious that Ms. Sherrie has never been in the public eye before like she is now. She has to realize that if she is going to be in America's face evey day then she will have to watch what she states and how she states it. She is going to be taken to task for everything. Sherrie, isn't on Comic View or some BET "talk show" she is on a nationally televised network on a show whose viewers, I am willing to bet, don't share similar life experiences and/or values. She isn't the smartest cookie in the cookie jar. She will have to learn to self censor. Its not always just but as a Black woman on a daily talk show she will have to protect herself better. And some times that means keeping private things private. If it comes out then deal with it then. Don't volunteer controversy. I am sure she remembers what happened to Star Jones. When you let the media into your life then everything is up for ridicule. Today she is retracting some of what she said in that article. Apparently, she is getting a heck of a lot of flack from it.

Heres’ the thing. Its obvious that Ms. Sherrie has never been in the public eye before like she is now.

It's best to tell your own dirt than let it show up in the national enquirer or better yet one of the entertainment blogs. Dera does have a point.

Although personally, I wouldn't have shared all of that information. Frankly, it's nobody's business as far as I'm concerned. Was it necessary for Sherri to tell all about herself?

We all sin and come short. However, I don't know if I would have put my family's stuff out there. Celebrities live different lives though, nothing seems to be sacred or private.
