Sherri Shepherd called out an unnamed “celebrity actress” who she says accosted her at the opening night of Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal’s “Othello” on Broadway.
“So this unnamed celebrity actress who shall remain nameless — I’m sitting there talking, somebody grabbed my arm and they forcefully turned me around,” Shepherd explained Monday on her daytime talk show “Sherri.” “Othello” had its premiere on Sunday, and many Hollywood stars showed up to support its A-list cast, including Shepherd, Samuel L. Jackson, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Angela Bassett.
“So I’m in a good mood, so 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,’” Shepherd recalled.
