Sherri Shepherd was on Access being interviewed by Scott Evans and guest host Yvette Nicole Brown. (Follow her on Twitter if you don’t already, she’s the best.) Sherri and Yvette have been friends for decades and they were a lot of fun to watch. They actually met in church, which cracks me up given Yvette’s churchy character on Community. Yvette said Sherri helped her know what to expect when she was getting her start acting. My favorite part was when they talked about dating and Sherri revealed that she’s “accidentally celibate.” Sherri is in Mr. Iglesias on Netflix with Gabriel Iglesias, the second season just premiere, and she has a podcast with Kim Whitley called Two Funny Mamas.
On her 12-year-old son
When my son goes out my prayer is that he comes home. If you don’t like his skin color you’ll never get to the beauty of who he is.Her exercise routine
I walk five miles three times a week. I did a pushup challenge with some girlfriends. I got to 80 [pushups] in 30 days.On dating now, she’s on Bumble
I have become accidentally celibate during the pandemic. It wasn’t on purpose. God knows my heart needs someone to spoon with.

Sheri also told a funny story about taking her son to march and said he got preoccupied because he was hungry and kept asking to eat. A few weeks ago Sherri tried to get Yvette to do her pushup challenge and Yvette acted like she had the wrong number at first and told her not to talk about it!
As for Sherri being accidentally celibate, I’m right there with her. Sometimes I wonder if I’m going to end up being celibate longer than ever before. I shouldn’t think of it that way and should approach it like sobriety, one day at a time. I want to be sober though.
Here’s that interview!

27 and haven’t had sex since I was 23 lol..
I truly dislike this woman. I will never forget how she essentially abandoned those two babies she had via surrogate when she and her husband split.
Just 1 baby I think, a son. That whole situation was terrible. She is paying child support for him at least, but I can’t imagine arranging all that with the surrogate, and then bailing. Hopefully her ex is a good dad.
I do think she’s a funny comedic actress though, she was great on Trial & Error, which I wish had lasted longer.
Absolutely zero men want any part of that insecure mess. I remember her crazy butt on the view.
And people are only celebrate when they opt to give up sex for life. She is simply abstaining from sex. But abstinence is cool if you’re not looking for catch a bug or another baby. So, good for her.
Celibacy means abstaining from sex there is no set time,you don’t have to abstain for life to be celibate.
Queen of Jordan!!!
HAM!
It’s my way … ’till payday!!!
Great interview with 3 of my faves.
