Sherri Shepherd has to forgo child support payments during tackle practice with Terry Crews

Sherri Shepherd has some new moves thanks to Terry Crews. The America's Got Talent host and former NFL player stopped by Sherri's house today and shared some tackling techniques with the TV personality – and she didn't hold back when she tried them out.

“Well, Terry, I've been training really hard, but I have to be ready for whatever happens on the streets of New York,” said Shepherd, 56. “Because I've been training, but you have to.” Show me all the tackling Tips.”

“Listen,” Crews, 54, replied, “I'll show you something, but remember, I wasn't that good – that's why I got cut.” But I've made a few tackles in my career, so show I’ll give you the techniques.”

He began to demonstrate: “First of all, you have to line up and see the person you are attacking. You have to join them. Then you have to turn to the side. But listen, always look at the hips… someone will fake you with their hands, but the hips will never move. I'll show you how to do it! You finish them off and then you have to step over them like you don’t care.”

After rushing into the doll, Shepherd picked the doll up and slammed it back onto the ground while shouting, “No more child support for you!”

The comment appeared to be in reference to her split from Lamar Sally, whom she married in August 2011 before the couple ultimately split in May 2014. Three months later, in August, Shepherd and Sally welcomed baby boy Lamar Sally Jr. via surrogate, leading to a contentious child support dispute.

Sally retained custody of the child, and in 2017 a judge denied his request for financial support because it was determined that Shepherd had no genetic connection to the boy, who was conceived with Sally's sperm and a donor egg. (Shepherd's ex made another attempt to increase his child support payments in 2020, but was again rejected.)

Shepherd addressed her divorce on The Queen Latifah Show in 2014, telling Queen Latifah, “As long as you can stand up and stand up, it's another chance to make things right.” And I'm doing really well.”

She added: “If he would stop talking about it publicly now, I would feel better.” But I'm doing great. I am moving. I groove. All is well.”

When asked when she knew it was time to leave her marriage, Shepherd replied: “When your physical well-being is at risk and I think when your emotional well-being is at risk,” she said. “I have one for myself [son Jeffrey Jr.] Who can’t afford to see me on the floor having a nervous breakdown because I’m alive and everything I do is for Jeffrey.”
