Sherri Shepherd Revisits DWTS Grudge, Says She’d Now Back Melissa Gilbert

On her talk show, Shepherd said the 2012 Dancing With the Stars outcome even influenced a past SAG ballot.

Overview

  • Shepherd used Friday’s Sherri episode to reflect on her 2012 elimination after reacting to Lauren Jauregui’s unexpected exit this week.
  • She joked she could not believe she was sent home before Melissa Gilbert, recalling Gilbert’s onstage head impact with Maksim Chmerkovskiy and subsequent hospital visit.
  • She said her frustration led her to withhold a vote when Gilbert later ran for Screen Actors Guild president.
  • She added that she has moved on and would support Gilbert if she sought the position again.
  • Entertainment Weekly reported the comments and said it had reached out to Gilbert’s representatives for a response.
