Sherri Shepherd told women’s christian magazine Precious Times:

“I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count.”  She said her self-esteem became so low, “I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn’t even make a difference.”

On what converting to Christianity did for her:

“God showed me that it would make a difference.”  “I ask the Lord, ‘Why am I here?’” Shepherd added. “I have to trust God when He says, ‘Because I said so.’”

Her faith became instrumental as she divorced her husband Jeff Tarpley, who cheated on her during their marriage and impregnated another woman.  The couple have a three year old son together.

I think it took a lot of courage for her to publicly admit that despite being on a show as popular as The View.  I wonder what Elizabeth Hasselback would have to say about that.
