Sherri Shepherd leaving ‘The View’ and possibly Jenny McCarthy too


Interesting news.

Sherri Shepherd announced yesterday that she’s leaving The View after 7 years. The reason or reasons have to do with her personal life and contract problems with ABC.

Sherri (through her rep) said:
“It’s been seven wonderful years on The View and after careful consideration it is time for me to move on. I am extremely grateful to Barbara Walters and Bill Gedde for giving me the opportunity. I look forward to the business opportunities that lay ahead for me and I am incredibly grateful to my View family and my fans for supporting me on this journey.”
Also Jenny McCarthy said that if Sherri’s leaving, she’s leaving too. Jenny tweeted this yesterday as well.

I don't know... Is this a bluff or is this really happening?

Personally, they do need to shake the show up, so this could a good thing.

ABC/The View Responds to the DL Black Men and HIV Drams


Not much was said to be real about it:
ABC responded with this statement to CNN: “ On June 22, during a discussion about blood donation and the transmission of HIV/AIDS, a guest moderator on the show expressed his interpretation of data about one way the virus can be transmitted. The topic of HIV/AIDS has been raised many times over the show’s 13 years, with many voices and opinions contributing to a conversation that we expect to continue as long as The View is on the air.”

This ain't an apology, this is just a broke statement.

Someone Lay Hands on Sherri Shepherd

Sherri Shepherd... Hera, help this woman.

Earlier this week, Sherri said this about the spread of HIV:


Luckily, there were folks to correct her, but it still bothers me that this belief is still alive and being broadcast on TV.

Sherri may not know this, but her statements could continue this sad notion that "down low" Black men are completely at fault. There are many factors to this problem and with her national TV platform, she can change those beliefs. I don't believe Sherri meant any harm, but her statements are quite damaging.

So, I hope somebody sat down and talked with her. Sherri needs to understand and know the power of her voice.
