Sherri Shepherd Says Past Rapture Prophecy Led to 8 Days in Jail

She recounted the experience on her Sept. 24 show to caution viewers after a TikTok‑fueled Sept. 23 claim by pastor Joshua Mhlakela.

Overview

  • She said she once stopped paying bills, taxes, and traffic tickets because she believed the world was about to end.
  • According to her account, her car registration had lapsed for two years and she had roughly $10,000 in unpaid moving violations, and she did not appear in court.
  • She recalled being pulled over on her way to perform at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, then being arrested and jailed for eight days.
  • She showed a photo from the day of her arrest and joked that believing the prediction turned her into a “hardened criminal.”
  • Her monologue followed widespread TikTok attention to Mhlakela’s Rosh Hashanah prediction, which she said she rejected because of her earlier experience.
