SHERRI SHEPHERD SHARES PAINFUL PAST: 'View' host opens up about multiple abortions and crack-addict sister.
*Comedian/actress and co-host of "The View" Sherri Shepherd has been through a lot in her 41 years of living and she hopes that discussing the pain of her past will inspire others to change their lives.
Shepherd tells the Christian women's magazine "Precious Times" that she had such low self-esteem at one point that she was "sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count."
Having a sister caught up in drug addiction only underscored Sherri's feelings of being worthless.
Shepherd said, "My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses. I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn't even make a difference." But that changed when Shepherd started living for Jesus. "God showed me that it would make a difference," she says.
Shepherd has often talked about how her Christian faith carried her through her difficult divorce from Jeff Tarpley, whom Sherri says got another woman pregnant.
Now that she's on "The View," Sherri wishes she was a better evangelist.
"Oh, sometimes I say, 'Lord, Juanita Bynum or Joyce Meyer would be so good at this table. They could lay hands on Barbara Walters and get her saved,'"Shepherd told "Precious Times."
