Sherri Shepherd Doesn’t Want Custody Of Her Unborn Child
Shepherd believes her estranged husband wanted the child to defraud her, and so she wants no part of it. The child is being borne by a surrogate.
The former “View” host does not want any ties to the baby that she and her estranged husband Lamar Sally are expecting via a surrogate. According to TMZ, this is because she suspects that Sally wanted the baby in order to defraud her.
The site reports that the 47-year-old wants a judge to rule that she “has no parental rights or responsibilities,” including not to be granted custody or named as his parent, because she believes that Sally sought to have a surrogate baby in order to eventually divorce her and get her to pay child support.

Despite the likelihood that her spouse is manipulating her, she can well afford to pay child support. She entered into a contract to be a parent for this child & knew the risks. I doubt she gets out of it.

I never took to Sherri Sherperd, and now I know why. Although she and I are both black females, there was always something about her that seemed strange, wacky, and off-putting to me. Now that I know she’s rejecting a child for seemingly purely financial reasons before it’s even been born, it sort of confirms the feelings I’ve had about her.

Women can get trapped by some pretty bad schemes. Sherri should keep her head high and let her faith carry her to the other side of this mess. Good luck Sherri. Sal can support his child.
