In the first new episode of “The View” since it was announced she was leaving, Sherri Shepherd reveals the reasons why she will no longer be a co-host And it’s rather…interesting to say the least. More inside….
After the semi-shocking news of Sherri Shepherd’s departure from the hit ABC talk show “The View,” we were left wondering the real reason behind her sudden up-root.
Up until today, she (and the rest of her co-hosts) have remained mum on the issue. The shows last week were pre-taped, but Sherri didn't speak out via social media either.
But today, Sherri finally spoke her piece on why she’s leaving.
At the beginning of today's live episode, Sherri told viewers:
"I didn't want to do anything to distract from Barbara Walters and our celebration of her retirement in May," she said. "You guys know that I often talk about my faith. I'm a woman of faith and seven in the Bible is the number of God's completion. And I've been here seven years, and my time at The View is complete."
Umm…ok. She added she had some “exciting news” to share as well and will do so at a later time on the show.
Co-host Jenny McCarthy also spoke about her departure. During the broadcast she said, “After much consideration, I’ve taken a new job that will allow me to do what I do best, which is talk without having to interrupt anyone.”
Well...We hear the real reason Sherri is leaving is due to her not getting as high of a raise as she wanted....but that's none of our business. Check out video of Jenny & Sherri's announcement below:
Wonder who they are FINALLY going to choose to fill those seats. Ross Matthews, Mario Cantone, and Rose O'Donnell are reportedly on the short list...
