'Sherri' Drama! Marlo Thomas Allegedly Angered Staffers After 'Fat Shaming' Host Sherri Shepherd

Actress Marlo Thomas has seemingly found herself in hot water among Sherri staffers, sending several members of Sherri Shepherd's new eponymous talk show team into “mama bear mode” following claims that she “fat shamed” the daytime host on her own series.

On Tuesday, November 1, the That Girl icon stopped by Shepherd’s new show, and while discussing her upcoming holiday flick ​​Magical Christmas Village, she made a comment about the comic’s size prior to her recent weight loss.

“I interviewed you for my AOL show [‘Monday’s with Marlo’],” Thomas quipped, puffing her cheeks, “And you used to be a big woman!”

“You’ve lost a lot of weight, but you’ve still got the boobies! That’s good,” she added.

Though Shepherd took the actress’ comments in stride — laughing, jumping from her seat and revealing that she had “lost like 35 pounds” — some staffers were “very vocal” about not finding the comment funny, per an insider close to the show.

“Sherri was a good sport, but people [at the show] are very protective of her,” spilled the source. “People were not happy that she fat shamed her on national TV. It was a like a slap in the face.”

Marlo’s comments came roughly one year after Shepherd got candid about her weight loss on social media, citing wellness as an integral factor in her journey.
