At best, Sherri Shepherd’s child custody and support case has been complicated. Sherri and her ex-husband, Lamar Sally, have been battling over custody and financial responsibility for their baby born via surrogate last year. What makes this case unique though is that once Lamar and Sherri split, Sherri went back-and-forth over whether or not she wanted anything to do with their surrogate baby. Eventually, she decided she did not want any responsibility for the child. But, in April, a judge declared Sherri Shepherd the legal mother of the baby. Now, the former View co-host has to live up to that obligation by paying $4,100 per month in child support. The baby is currently 10 months-old. Sherri will have to pay $4,1000 a month until Lamar Jr. is 13-years-old. When the child turns 13, the payment will increase to $4,6000 a month. The case definitely didn’t pan out the way Shepherd had wished. But she is still able to move forward with a fraud claim against her estranged husband. She claims the request for child support is fraudulent. If the courts agree, she will no longer be required to pay support. Shepherd is also asking that the remaining embryos she shared with Lamar be destroyed. Lamar is “undecided” about whether or not to keep the embryos. However, the agreement stands that if any of the remaining embryos are brought to term, Shepherd has no financial responsibility.

Sherri Shepherd’s Surrogate To Appear On “Inside Edition” Sherri Shepherd sounds super shady for this ! This Thursday, January 29th, the woman who served as Sherri Shepherd’s surrogate, Jessica Bartholomew will tell her story. And boy is it a doozy. Here’s the details: Inside Edition’s Diane McInerney exclusively talks with Jessica Bartholomew, the baby surrogate to former co-host of “The View,” Sherri Shepherd and Shepherd’s then-husband Lamar Sally. Bartholomew is speaking out for the first time about Shepherd’s decision not to be a part of Lamar Jr.’s life. Bartholomew carried and delivered Lamar Jr., but the baby was conceived from Sally’s sperm and another woman’s donated egg. Bartholomew tells Inside Edition that, even though she did sign a contract through her surrogate agency, her name was put on the birth certificate as a “noncustodial parent” because she says Shepherd refused to sign the document. McInerney: “Because your name is on the birth certificate, how has it affected you?” Bartholomew: “It’s affected me a lot. I am now listed as a noncustodial parent in California. I have a child support case coming against me now.” Because Lamar Jr. has health problems, Sally applied for Medi-Cal, a California state program that provides free or low-cost health coverage for families with limited income and resources. Now, Bartholomew says that the state of California is going after her for child support because she is the mother listed on the birth certificate. Bartholomew: “Because [Shepherd] doesn’t want to be a part of the baby’s life, I have to pick up all the slack with my name being on the birth certificate, a noncustodial parent, medical bills. I’m still considered the mother of a child that’s not mine.” That’s some BS. We’re pretty sure whatever Jessica was paid to carry Lamar Jr, it’s not enough to also continue paying the costs of caring for him! Furthermore, Bartholomew says Sherri simply stopped communicating with her when she made the decision to not be in her son’s life. Sherri’s ex is the one who told her that he and Shepherd were getting divorced. It wasn’t until later that she learned that Sherri was backing out of the surrogacy. Bartholomew: “I am angry with Sherri because she never once contacted me to tell me what was happening. It was kind of like I was left out in the cold.” Bartholomew says that early in the pregnancy Shepherd seemed excited. Bartholomew: “She would call up and check on me during the pregnancy in the beginning. At the 20 week appointment, she seemed very excited. She was going to see the baby for the first time…I didn’t see any warning signs right away.” Jessica does have some words for what she would say if she could speak to Shepherd. Bartholomew: “I would ask Sherri why she did what she did – if she thought it was okay to do something like that…I just don’t understand how she can act like this baby is nonexistent. It just blows my mind.” Inside Edition also speaks with Lamar Sally, who says “[Jessica] must be going through hell. I really feel sorry for her. I just want to apologize for putting her in the middle.” Wow Sherri is looking crazy right now. What a terrible way to treat a child who didn’t ask to be brought into the world. Goes to show divorce is a muhfugga! Check your local listings to find out what time and channel “Inside Edition” airs Thursday January 29.
