Sherri Shepherd fears she’s going to remarry and lose “more cash” after paying alimony and baby help to each ex-husbands
Sherri Shepherd recently addressed the issue of La La Anthony’s marriage and explained why she agrees with the actress.
On the Friday January 27 episode of Shepherd’s daytime talk show Sherri, the 55-year-old asked the exact same question as Anthony did in her interview on The Breakfast Club.
“Clap if you feel like the marriage isn’t what it used to be,” she pleaded with her crowd, who responded with massive applause.
Shepherd explains why she agrees with the ‘BMF’ actress that marriage isn’t something younger people aspire to anymore because older generations don’t make it seem comfortable.
“When you hear people talk about marriage, the married people, don’t make it sound appealing because you’re like, ‘It’s just work, you have to work. I mean, marriage isn’t easy, it’s not for the weak,” Shepherd explained.
Shepherd continued to address Michelle Obama’s Revolt Roundtable interview, when the former first lady admitted she had hated her husband Barack Obama for ten years.
“That’s a decade!” Shepherd exclaimed before suggesting, “Even if you’re selling a used car, you’ve got to make it sound a little attractive.”
While Shepherd admitted to knowing a handful of happily married couples who put in the work, she belied this with her own stance of not wanting to remarry because she’s tired of losing money.
“I feel like marriage isn’t for me,” Shepherd said. “I feel like a marriage, I will lose more money if I get married. So I have to, I have to heal from this. So I’m not trying to get married.”
She noted that she doesn’t need a ring or a ceremony, but said she doesn’t want to be single and would rather have a life partner.
“I don’t need to have the ring, I know I owe you.”
Shepherd has been through two tough divorces, the first from 2001 to 2010 with her husband Jeff Tarpley and then a split from Lamar Sally, to whom she was married from 2010 to 2014.
The former The View host has previously fought for full custody of her and Tarpley’s son, Jeffrey Charles Tarpley Jr. In 2019, it was revealed that she was ordered to pay $131 a month to Tarpley, with whom she now shares custody of their 17-year-old child.
Money continued to flow from Shepherd’s pockets after she and her second ex-husband, Sally, went to court for their child, Lamar Sally Jr., who remains primarily with his father. A court ordered her to pay alimony of $4,100.
Shepherd has spoken about the difficulties of paying two different child support payments to two different men while trying to remain employed.
“So many changes in my life I feel like my head is spinning,” she wrote in an Instagram post in 2019, “I never stop grinding…”
