Sherri Shepherd's Ex Doesn't Like Being Talked About

By PopEater Staff Posted Feb 11th 2010 08:50AM

Sherri Shepherd's ex husband Jeff Tarpley is upset that she talks about their divorce and his infidelity on 'The View,' in her stand-up routine and on her Lifetime series.

Tarpley wrote an open letter to his ex, asking that she stop talking about their split for the sake of their 4-year-old son, RadarOnline.com reports.

"Sherri Shepherd, to whom I was married for eight years and have an amazing son with, has openly discussed and distorted details of our marriage for close to six years following our break-up. To this very day, my name is consistently dragged through the mud at her every opportunity. Sherri, don't you think it's time to move on?" Tarpley writes.

"Mistakes have been made, but they have not been one-sided, as the public is consistently led to believe. Though Sherri claims to be transparent, what good is transparency when you're not taking ownership of your own faults? And while some might find her comments entertaining, to me and my loved ones they're hurtful, misguided and spiteful. No matter how much she says she's reached a place of forgiveness, her comments and actions clearly do not demonstrate this," he adds in the letter.

He pleads with her to stop bringing their relationship up, especially for their son, Jeffrey. "The issues in our marriage that Sherri continually refers to happened around the time that Jeffrey was born. One thing Sherri never can deny nor has denied is the deep love and close bond I have with our son. Jeffrey will soon be socializing and interacting with other children, and eventually he will be able to search the Internet, where he'll find article after article and countless video clips of his mom exacting a public revenge against his dad. Jeffrey does not deserve to grow up knowing that his mom used her notoriety to paint an inaccurate picture of his dad for the world to see. If not for me, it's time to move on for the sake of our son."

I agree Sherri.........move on, you are hurting your child. Your love for your son should be stronger than your hatred of your x

I totally agree that Sherri needs to truly forgive this man and stop the trashing, bashing, and twisting little barbs she does everywhere. When you truly foregive someone, you let go of the hurt and anger and see them through eyes of love. Sherri, you have some more healing to do. It is more a gift to yourself... as there is nothing worse than a bitter woman and mother. Bitter pills kill.

i agree and his letter showed a lot of class . he has given her many yrs. to vent. now move on and keep your hurt feelings to your self and your dr. if you have one. your pain may never go away but you can learn to live with it and take positive steps to lessen it. or no one else will want to take up with you as they too will be talked about on the view. how can you be ready for someone new if you still haven't let go of the past.

By Sandy

I agree with Sherri's husband. Sherry thinks everything is funny, and I'm sick and tired of her, Joy and Woopi making jokes about everything. Also, why is it OK for Sherri and Woopi to use the "N" word, but not for white people? The "N" word should be banned from the English language. Also, Sherri had Elizabeth help her with getting a bigger booty. Why didn't Sheri just have surgery and transplant her tremendous boobs to her booty? Just saying.

By Charlie

When have you personally ever heard Sherri or Whoopi saying the "N" word? And what does that even have to do with this article? It's like you just wanted to say that about them for some reason... what is the reason??

I don't know about Sherri...Whoopie has used the "N-word" in concert and during her stand up routine. If the word is only acceptible for ONE race to use ...IT IS NOT ACCEPTIBLE AT ALL!!!

By Vickie

It's been way too long now for Sherri to keep bringing things up that are so one-sided.I bet she would not be "all that" if her ex got on stage and started telling things about her!How about if he told how one day Sherri sat on the toilet seat and broke it!!! Or her overuse of cologne,so on and so forth.

By valeskas

Sherri is a bit short of intelligence, a mother should never play her child out against the father. But, this man is still a cheater and a user of women. He probably misses the money she makes, alot. Some black men are using their women and the black women let themselves be abused, just so they can brag, they have a MAN. This is nothing new, probably is the same way with whites. But I worked at a Housing Authority and I saw, what happend there.

black this and black that who cares..............black is black. and no black children are not endangered or disappearing, look around.

By rudewaitress

Can't stand that loud-mouthed, holier-than-thou, quasi-racist be-otch of a woman Shepherd. Just callin' it as I see it. She sorely overestimates her talent and her worthiness to the viewing audience. It's sad too that she can't let go of her bad marriage and is allowed to continually rake her ex over the coals. She was probably the reason for the break-up in the first place...who could take that attitude day in and day out??

By dee

Isn't it a little hypocritial to call Sherri to task for talking about their relationship in the media then PUBLISH an OPEN LETTER about how wrong it is??? I have watched "The View" often and yes Sherri does mention her relationship and the mistakes and her husband's cheating and getting another women pregnant. If it is relavant to a subject being discussed. They all share their life experiences. He does not seem to mentions what a "good father" she has said that he is, or how she has admitted her faults in their marriage. It is also VERY hypocritial for HIM to say "for the sake of the child" when he so obviously didn't think "think of the child" when he Cheated. She appears to have "moved on" quite well. Seems a little sour grapes to me.

By Nikki

I TOTALLY agree with you Dee! You couldn't have said it better! If he is so mad that she goes public with his indiscretions, then why is writing a pubic letter about how upset he is??!! And he definitely was NOT thinking about his child while he was with another woman! Sherri has earned every right to talk about whatever she wants after what she has been through!

I soooo totally agree with you Dee!!! I could never have said it better.

By Dana

I agree also. Besides, I didn't even know his name UNTIL this article (and I'm sure most people who watch The View and Sherri's show didn't either).

Lady, if you knew Sherri Shepherd you'd be singing a different tune. The girl has issues that go deeper than her messed up marriage. Until you know all about why he did what he did and why she still does what she's always done, S.T.F.U. !!

By Dr M. Brown

I agree in this case an all cases marriage, friendship , an all situations, when things dont work out people should just move on. Especiallly in marriage after a cooling off period have a dinner, lunch , meet and talk and just forgive and move on. Things that happen between married couples should be kept a secret, thats the vow you make for better or worse and the world does not need to know all every ones flows and mistakes.

By mlock2354

He cheated on her while she was carrying Jeffery. IMO that leaves him an open target for whatever she dishes out on or to him. I am a man and for any man to cheat on his wife while she is carrying their child is beyond wrong.

By Sharon

See takes 2 to tango. As a woman myself no one is innocent. He was wrong but what makes you think Sherri doesn't have her own dirt. Two sides to every story. Sherri to me is still in love w/her husband & won't admit it. After all these years it is called move on both Sherri & her husband. Your jobs are just to worry about your sons well being.

By Carrie

I firmly believe once a cheater always a cheater. But in his open letter he says she's been calling him out on this for 6 years but they have a 4 year old child? The math here states, according to his open letter, she was dishing this stuff about him to the public for 2 years before their sons birth.

Didn't someone else say it takes two to tango?

By Jestine

I think he is out of place telling Sherry what she should and should not say. Men like to do their dirt and then expect women to not say anything about them ,another means of control. I upuo the issue of their son. Kids have to learn good and bad. The world unfortunately is not picture perfect. He should have gotten a gag order LOL!
