RogerFromOhio August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 I don't know if we actually know her position. I think on this one, and only this one topic, she has gotten good advice and has accepted it. We kinda do know her position.... She is contesting the surrogacy contract claiming fraud.... fraud because she is saying that Lamar wanted a divorce before the contract was signed. I don't know how she can prove it, but that is her legal stance 2 Link to comment

GHScorpiosRule August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 I'm not sure why Sherri seems to have become obsessed with tweeting and instagramming. Those two things have been around for some time now, and I don't recall her putting herself out there and her business like she has for the past few months. At least, I don't recall her doing so. She used to do all of that on the show. Link to comment

maggiemae August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 So Sherri tweeted a little while ago "So excited I am done being the Sherri the actress, and now about to go be 'Mommy' - can't wait to get home to see my son Jeffrey!. #singlemama" Looks like she DID NOT watch Aladdin with Jeffrey the night we heard Robin passed. 5 Link to comment
maryis1 August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 The mention of whether Sherri had anyone in her life who warned her about Sal... Sherri has admitted that she's been husband shopping ever since she joined The View. Mention of the kind of man she was looking for as well as his FICO score. So Niecy Nash introduces her to Sal. Sherri seems to have been close to Niecy and if he came "recommended" by Niecy then maybe that was good enough for Sherri. It does look like she did hash out a prenup (that is now being contested but I think most prenups that basically give the other spouse nothing are often contested). I do think it is ironic that, if the reports are true, that she beat out Niecy for the role on Broadway. While on the View she hasn't mentioned Niecy for quite some time. I don't think the shoe instagram was a paid promotion by Louboutin. Unless Louboutin is hurting for publicity. But I think not. Sometimes though, the hashtag tells the tale. I just saw this cartoon and thought it was pretty funny and relevant: https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t1.0-9/10347567_10203702498977546_8544602976663187516_n.jpg 2 Link to comment
kaygeeret August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 Good lord - I LOVE shoes, at one time in my life I have over 75 pairs in my closet - to my current shame as most of them didn't really fit (size? 10 1/2 AAA - I dare you to find that size) BUT, my beef with Sherri and the fetish with current shoe styles, especially of the "name" brand pricey shoes.....she can't walk in those stupidly high heels. Watch her on any episode of t he View walking out - - she can't manage anything approaching a graceful stride. There are a few women who do manage it but not many. Spending all that money for shoes that make you look like an ungainly puppy is stupid to me - and I spent big bucks on shoes back in the day. Now? I just want to be comfortable. Screw fashion especially when it makes me look foolish when I walk. I was a tall gal tho (5' 8") and Sherri is short and I have been told that short women think heels make them appear taller so that may be going on with her. 5 Link to comment
Fannysue August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 I watched a rerun of The View and Sherri's behavior was so off-the-wall outrageous and loud that it reinforced my negative feelings toward her. Goodbye and good luck, Sherri, I hope I never have to watch you again!!!! 7 Link to comment

CathinAZ August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 Was it ever mentioned how long sherri will have the Broadway role? I'm not sure if she is in it for the long haul or if her part is the one they will cycle "big names" through. When they cast a "non- theater" famous person to bring publicity to a show ( like wendy Williams in Chicago for a month and others I can't think of right now) isn't it for just a couple months or so and then they get another "famous" person? When sherri is done, nene, neicy and a whole host of others could cycle through for a short stint. Assuming the show is a hit and has staying power. 2 Link to comment

Cinderella has had lots of stars taking part- Fran Drescher was recently Madame. She stayed longer than her planned 10 weeks (finished in June- A seasoned stage actress is in place until Sherri takes the part.) Before Fran it was Harriet Harris- an actress known for playing a character named Bebe on Frazier If the duo of Keke and Sherri brings audiences in- they could be in place for awhile- While the touring show will have its own cast and crew - there will be an increased need for experienced wicked step mothers to insure both productions are well covered! lol In other news- she is heading to LA with Jeffrey- I wonder when she starts rehearsals for the show?

My thought: What? That's all she's been doing. Maybe her "son" had important business in NY while Sherri was partying in Atl - oh, and being a very small fish in a big sea of a movie - but I don't understand why Jeffrey wasn't there, too, with his nanny, caregiver. Oh, right, then Sherri couldn't party and tweet us pics. This kinda perturbs me. 3 Link to comment

maggiemae August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 I think there are a lot of days Sherri could have been more involved with Jeffery be it evenings or weekends when in school, or during the summer. And not implying in tweets and selfies just how boring it was, like track, or at his camp wearing her darling swimsuit, and all of her very trying ordeals with him on the show - and of course her version of his voice. Which is nowhere accurate. I actually loved Jeffrey's response to SS's goodbye speech on the show - total boredom. Or pretending to be singlemama consoling her son watching Alladin hearing about William's death when he wasn't even with her in Atlanta. 1 Link to comment
TribbleTrouble August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 To be fair, Sherri's post said "Jeffrey. & I just watched Aladdin w @RobinWilliams - he brought joy to so many - young & old. #RIP Mr Williams," which I interpreted to mean they had just *recently* watched the movie, not that she was implying they had just watched it together that day. 4 Link to comment

Lordy, how many times HAS she worn those holey jeans and that see-thru top in the last couple of weeks and instagramed in them? I understand liking an outfit that much and even wearing it a lot, but showing yourself wearing it every place you go is a little over the top. 3 Link to comment
CousinAmy August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 To bring this back to the show, Sherri never mentioned the surrogate after the woman was pregnant in November - we didn't hear about it till much later. I wonder if she actually changed her mind much earlier than we knew, and this is what broke up her marriage? It seems strange that she lives her life private life online, but was completely silent on this issue. Maybe because they already were fighting about the baby before Lamar filed for separation? He seemed delighted to be having a baby, while she flits around the country with an occasional visit to the child she already has. 1 Link to comment
CattyTiger August 17, 2014 Share August 17, 2014 We and Sherri knew Sal wanted his own son. Perhaps what neither of us knew was just how much, apparently to the exclusion of having a real stepfather relationship with Jeffrey. Perhaps once the surrogate's pregnancy was a sure thing after the first trimester, Sal didn't have to pretend he wanted to be with Sherri anymore - just get the baby with child and spousal support. He sure lined up a bunch of out-of-town jobs for her. I don't know, but that scenario kinda makes sense to me. Sherri thought they'd have a family. If that's anywhere close to the truth, what a blow to Sherri after all her carrying on about getting the drama-free uterus for them - but it wasn't really for them, but for Sal. Yeah, she more than willingly walked into this with eyes tightly closed to the warning signs and to what she'd said she wanted from a husband, but realizing the reality had to have hurt and made her feel totally stupid. 5 Link to comment

He seemed delighted to be having a baby, while she flits around the country with an occasional visit to the child she already has. That's an interesting theory. We will probably never know for sure. However, I suspect the silence on the matter likely has more to do with the surrogate's desire for complete anonymity. Sherri may have even been contractually obligated not to discuss it on the show until the birth. Also, it's pretty much standard operating procedure not to discuss any pregnancy publicly until after at least the first trimester so there are plenty of possibilities for why it wasn't fodder for show discussion before Sherri's domestic and professional status very publicly went to hell in a tacky overpriced handbasket. 4 Link to comment

Tosia August 18, 2014 Share August 18, 2014 I agree, Givemespace. You would think that her tweeters would provide a definition of "verklempt", so Sherri would see that she is using it in the wrong way. But then Sherri would ignore it like other advice. Sherri? Sigh. I've had friends who would not listen to advice many others were giving them. The best we can do is hope they are safe. Her actions (and my friends) are frustrating to me so it's difficult to feel sorry for them. I've also had friends who succeeded despite lesser talent and I am mystified, but such is the world. IT is what it is. In my old age (60), I have finally learned, the world is neither logical nor fair (sometimes). 3 Link to comment
