Sherri Shepherd, known for her vibrant personality and notable roles in television, recently expressed her thoughts on her participation in the 14th season of “Dancing with the Stars” (DWTS) in 2012. Speaking on “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen, Shepherd, who exited the show tearfully after the fourth week, conveyed her belief that her elimination was premature and unjustified. Despite the disappointment, Shepherd emphasized her fondness for the experience, describing it as “the best experience of my life” and expressing her eagerness to rejoin the competition if given the opportunity.
During her original stint on DWTS, Shepherd was paired with Val Chmerkovskiy, with whom she formed a strong bond. In recent remarks on Cohen’s show, Shepherd jokingly noted that if she had been single during her time on the show, she might have pursued a romantic relationship with her dance partner. Chmerkovskiy also humorously referenced their elimination, suggesting it was a conspiracy aimed at reinstating Shepherd on “The View,” the talk show she co-hosted for several years.
As the latest season of DWTS progresses, Chmerkovskiy is paired with influencer Alix Earle in Season 34. For fans eager to catch the latest performances, the show airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and is available for streaming on Disney+. Shepherd’s reflections, along with Chmerkovskiy’s lighthearted conspiracy theories, highlight the enduring appeal and competitive intensity that DWTS consistently brings to both its participants and viewers.
