As far as her divorce from estranged husband Lamar “Sal” Sally, the TV personality said “there’s always someone worse off than you.” “I say you can’t beat yourself up,” she told Us Weekly, “when you know you’ve made the wrong choice in a guy…” She explained, “You look, you do some introspective work, and you try not to make the same mistake.”
“You have to really sit down and be thankful for the things that you have,” she added. “If you do, get back up, dust your feet off, and start walking and moving forward.”
Shepherd went on to say that her friends have been a great support during this difficult time. “I have really amazing friends,” she shared. “Have really good friends around you, so you have a soft landing place,” she advised to other people coping with a split. “I have a lot of really wonderful friends [who] say ‘erase that!'”
