Bill Maher Accuses Sherri Shepherd Of Beating Her Children With A Stupid Stick
3:50AM Defamer Hollywood | While promoting his new documentary Religulous (the hit of Claremont, CA!), the politically incorrect Bill Maher sat down with TV Guide for its upcoming August 25 issue. After discussing the religion-bashing doc, talk turned to The View (because when doesn’t it?), and Maher was asked for his opinion on notorious flat-earther Sherri Shepherd.
