It was revealed last year that former co-host of The View Sherri Shepherd, 48, had changed her mind on having a child after her vicious break-up with ex-husband Lamar Sally, but the courts have stunningly ruled that comedian Shepherd is the legal mother of the child and will have to pay child support since their surrogate was already successfully impregnated by IVF when Shepherd changed her mind.

Shepherd isn’t giving up just yet. She’s claiming that she was ‘defrauded’ into having the child by Sally, who Shepherd claims was always intent on divorcing her and using the child as a means of child support.

Messy. Messy. Messy.
