Us Magazine has an article which quotes the View's Sherri Shepherd by way Precious Times, a black Christian women's magazine in its latest issue on how chaotic her upbringing and promiscuity, and that life was so tough that there was not much to live for.

Us Magazine:

"My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses," Shepherd, 41, says.

At the time, the stand-up comic — then a Jehovah's Witness – was "in a very physically abusive relationship," she said. "I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count."

She said her self-esteem became so low, "I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn't even make a difference."

But after converting to Christianity, she said, "God showed me that it would make a difference." READ MORE...

Since she is a public figure is is it a good thing that she revealed these painful details of her personal life, or should some things like this just be kept private or in a smaller forum? I know plenty of people can relate to those situations she experienced.

I honestly don't know what to think about this BlogPassion. Abortion is such a difficult and personal subject. I am a little disturbed at the way she said it. However, I guess if she wants to share that info, that's her right too.

While I don't think that she meant it callously, the way that she said it made it sound a little careless. Oh well...

All of the revelations appear to be testimonials as to how Christianity turned her life around, but tmi for me...maybe helpful for the next person?
