Sherri Shepherd Claps Back After Accusation of ‘Shading’ at Othello Premiere
Ah yes, another classic case of celebrity misunderstandings—if only there were a handbook on how to avoid turning a Broadway premiere into an episode of Real Housewives. Sherri Shepherd, the daytime diva and self-proclaimed “sweet” person, recently found herself tangled in a Broadway brouhaha after attending the Othello premiere in New York. The star-studded event, which featured the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Dr. Jill Biden, took a dramatic twist when an unnamed actress accused Shepherd of “shading” her. Picture this: Sherri, in high spirits, engaged in chit-chat, only to be yanked around by a fellow star who accused her of throwing shade. As the audience gasped, Sherri, with a bemused expression, recounted her bafflement: “I know who I shade because I don’t shade many people.” The irony!
In a twist that could rival any plot from the Great American Novel, Sherri further revealed her indignation over being called out in front of her peers. After a brief intermission of contemplation in the bathroom—because where else does one resolve celebrity conflicts?—she decided it was time for a comeback. “You don’t get to turn me around like we’re in a dadgum cartoon and then walk away,” she declared, making it clear that she won’t be anyone’s punching bag, even in New York’s illustrious theater scene.
For those who need a refresher course on celebrity etiquette, Sherri encourages the unnamed actress to sit down for a chat, insisting, “I was on your side when it happened.” Her compelling message? Misunderstandings are rampant in Hollywood, but don’t confuse her kindness for weakness. So, as Sherri wisely noted, “I’m from Chicago. Okay? I don’t play like that.” Remember, folks: next time you’re tempted to throw shade, consider the potential fallout—and maybe just send a friendly DM instead.
