'Wendy Williams wannabe': Sherri Shepherd slammed after she calls Britney Spears ‘crazy’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sherri Shepherd has landed in hot water after she called pop sensation Britney Spears "crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy and crazy.”

The outspoken host's comment came during a game of 'Do You Give A Damn?' on a recent episode of 'Watch What Happens Live' which was hosted by Andy Cohen, leading netizens to label her as a "Wendy Williams wannabe".

What did Sherri Shepherd say about Britney Spears?

During the game, Cohen posed a question about Spears' highly anticipated memoir 'The Woman in Me', which is set to release on October 24, 2023. Actress Issa Rae was the first to respond, expressing her eagerness to read the book, stating the 'Toxic' singer has been "dropping a lot of tea" in excerpts that have already been released.

“She said that [her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake] cheated on her with another celebrity!” Rae said, prompting Shepherd to ask, “Another Mouseketeer?”

However, when Cohen asked whether Shepherd cared about Spears' tell-all, she responded with, "Not really, 'cause how many chapters are you gonna have — crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy and crazy." The response was met with disapproval from Issa Rae, but Shepherd stood by her statement, stating, "I said it."

Netizens slam Sherri Shepherd's remark about Britney Spears

The backlash Shepherd faced for her comment was swift and intense. Many social media users took to the internet to express their disappointment and anger, with some referring to her remark as "trash behavior."

A user asserted on X, "We don’t care about this Wendy Williams wannabe."

Another highlighted, "Sherri Shepherd is the worst! I can’t even believe she was chosen to take over WW show. Making fun of anyone with mental health problems should shut down her show. She knows what it’s like to be made fun of so she should know better. Queue the obligatory apology #Britney."

A third claimed, "She think she will pass saying bad things abt Britney like gurl this is not 2000s anymore." "Trash behavior!" read a tweet.

"Seriously sherri shepherd, shame on you! clearly she has mental health issues. calling someone crazy, whom needs help, is completely unacceptable. you should know better," claimed a user.
