So Sherri Shepherd has abandoned two children, and tried to get out of child support for one of them

I'm baffled by how this woman goes on to grow her fame yet there's no existence of questioning her or it affecting her work. She made the surrogacy of her last child very public. She waited until the surrogate was near delivery to break with her husband. When the baby was delivered, Shepherd was nowhere around, then she tried to get out of supporting the kid. What kind of fucked up person does that?

[quote]why does she get a pass?

Because ain't nobody been checking for her in 10 years.

She's religious right trash (she's besties with the black woman who co-hosts The 700 Club) so of course she's a big hypocrite on everything (marriage, divorce, parenting, working outside the home, etc.).

She gets a pass because she's part of the media, which protects its own, especially if the person in question is a woman and/or ethnic minority. Duh.

R3, it's true, sadly. Let's start a blog. ;-)

Because she's Black.

It is not a human right to breed women like cattle. Surrogacy should be banned.

If men are held accountable, so should she. Spoiled entitled Hollywood whore.

You know the real answer, OP.

Men aren't held accountable. Tons of actors have kids they don't acknowledge or ran away from. There's tons. Just off the top of my head: Owen Wilson has a kid from a past girlfriend that he won't acknowledge. Anthony Hopkins abandoned his wife and new baby for a girlfriend, and when asked later if he had grandkids, he said "I have no idea, families break up all the time, I don't care."

Sherri's second husband was doing the gold-digger thing of trying to get a baby for the money, and if we're all going to bitch 24/7 about the women who do that, why are we giving Lamar a pass?

She didn't abandon her first son, anyway.

Doesn't she also think the Earth is flat?

They really should let her do "Queen of Jordan" as a real show. She's not too far off from that character in real life.

I don't think it's because she's black. Or, that's not the biggest reason why she's gotten a pass. I think it likely helps because, like it or not, as we've seen in recent weeks, black celebrities are often treated with kid gloves for matters that non-black celebrities would be dealt with more harshly. But I do think it's a woman thing. Even the link above notes that "A child she has no genetic connection with!".. Does anybody here think an article would have the same headline if a famous man, black or white, would have signed adoption papers and other legal paperwork with their spouse, paid and entered into a contract with another woman to carry a baby to term, only to decide at the last minute he wasn't really into it, abandoned the adoptive wife and mother, ghosted them during the baby's birth and tried to get out of all responsibility? That man would have been eaten the fuck alive. We'd never hear from him again where entertainment goes. And yet, it was water off a duck's back for Shepherd. She's reportedly even nickeled and dimed her first ex-husband on helping with their son who has developmental issues. That boy is now about 16 and lives with his dad. Shepherd, allegedly has very little contact with him and refused to increase child support for him as he got older.

That's not just being a bitch, that borders on abject evil.

I recall the scandal surrounding the surrogacy. Something about how the husband was colluding with his side piece to get Sherri pregnant and on the hook for child support.

That doesn't mean that she's not a piece of shit. The child is innocent in all this and needs to be taken care of and she has a spotty history of parenting her first child.

The first kid is retarded, just fyi.

I asked her about her abandoned baby on twitter once and she blocked me.

Her resume is a staggering account of how to kill a TV series. Dozens of shows in which she was the turd in the punchbowl. Beware!

She's (tv) box office poison!! Avoid her like a two-day bagel with spoiled locks!!

R15 That's "LOX," you senile old Jewess!

It's her "Christianity." Anyone who gives lip service to traditional Southern (usually Baptist) religiosity gets a pass from other hypocrite believers of any race, especially if it's a mutually acknowledged marketing ploy. Claiming Jesus C. is enlisted on one's side is a very ego-inflating thing.
