Sherri Shepherd & Jenny McCarthy Share Selfie After Exiting ‘The View’
The View experienced a major shake-up yesterday when it was announced both Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy would not be returning to the talk show next season.
But despite various reports of on-set feuds and failed negotiations, one thing remains clear: Sherri and Jenny will stick by each other no matter what!
Sherri posted the below photo on her Instagram account, captioning the sweet selfie: "Mr @DonnieWahlberg [Jenny's fiancé] always takes care of his ladies @jennymccarthy & me! To be continued… ;O)"
Earlier, the 47-year-old confirmed via Twitter she was leaving the popular program:

Sherri released an additional statement to Deadline, explaining:
"After careful consideration, it is time for me to move on. I am extremely grateful to Barbara Walters and Bill Gedde for giving me the opportunity. I look forward to the business opportunities that lay ahead for me and I am incredibly grateful to my View family and my fans for supporting me on this journey."
While reports speculate the comedian couldn't reach an agreement with ABC to continue on the program, Jenny is said to have been fired after only a year at the table.
She also took to Twitter to confirm the news:
If Sherri goes… I go too. #sisters

My View will be changing too. As will with many hard working folks. Thanks to everyone at the show for your dedication and an amazing year.

Both women are expected to stay on through season 17, which wraps up in the first week of August.
While Jenny is preparing for her upcoming nuptials to Donnie Wahlberg, Sherri's future is a little more uncertain. The Chicago-native is currently going through a divorce and two custody battles.
