The incident occured at the opening of the Broadway play “Othello,” starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The stage was set for drama when Sherri Shepherd crossed paths with a celebrity harboring a grievance over her on-air commentary.
During a Monday segment, the host confessed that she typically has no qualms with people she encounters. Yet one proved to be an exception — a run-in she had at the opening of the Broadway play “Othello,” starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Shepherd said she remembered she was exchanging pleasantries with actors Khadeen and Devale Ellis when a celebrity whom she chose not to name accosted her.
“So this unnamed celebrity actress, who shall remain nameless,” she began with a theatrical tone, “grabbed my arm, and they forcefully turned me around.”
“I go, ‘Hi! What’s going on?’ ’Cause I know her. And she says to me, she goes, ‘You’ve been shading me a lot.’ That’s what she said to me,” she said.
