Sherri Shepherd Attempts To Clarify Homophobic Statements

Sherri Shepherd

Last week we shared an inflammatory interview with The View host Sherri Shepherd in which she talked about her religious upbringing and how it relates to her attitude about LGBT people.  While it was hard to parse through the complexities of her statement, mostly what we got from the interview was more of that that tired old "Hate the sin, not the sinner" schtick.

According to Perez Hilton, Shepherd took some time on The View to issue an apology for her statements:

Working on a talk show that's centered in the opinion business, there's been several things that I've shared in the press that have upset people, and typically I don't respond to the criticism. However, I'd like to say I'm truly sorry to anyone I've offended with the viewpoints I express on Alicia Menendez's Tonight on the Fusion network. My interview was misrepresented, and only a portion of my comments were used as a headline to give the impression that I was condemning members of the LGBT community living in their own truth. In the interview, I express I was raised as a child to have a certain set of beliefs, but my beliefs have evolved significantly as my own personal relationship with Christ has increased. I believe that love is the grace of all things and I have no desire to judge anybody by who they are. I'm a person of compassion and anyone who knows me knows that I love, I accept, I embrace everybody who has love in their hearts. So I love you.

Wait.  I'm still confused.  Was this a real apology or a non-apology?  These celebrities make it so difficult!

Whatever, at least we still have this gif:
