Sherri Shepherd got a little preachy during the March 4 episode of her talk show. She chastised rapper Megan Thee Stallion for displaying partial nudity on the red carpet at the 2025 Oscar Awards on Sunday.

“Wow! THAT is a dress!” shouted one photographer on the red carpet. “Her boobs are out!” said another photographer. “I see that! Looks good though,” said the first photographer (watch the video).

During her show, Shepherd lectured Megan on showing modesty and class while maintaining an air of mystery in public.

Shepherd also lashed out at Zoe Kravitz for wearing a black satin gown with a cutout in the back that left nothing to the imagination.

“Zoe Kravitz graced us with her butt crack. You could see everything,” Shepherd said of Kravitz.

“Megan Thee Stallion wore a dark green gown with only matching green pasties to cover up her breasts,” she continued.

“And so this is — I have to put my Auntie Sherri wig on – and I say this with all of the love that I have: ladies this is not it. And I say this because there are young women, young girls who are looking up to all of you!”

Shepherd recalled her grandmother telling her: “‘Let them use their imagination. Be a little mysterious.'”

“But, you know, when they look at these girls, they don’t have any secrets. Nobody gets to use imagination or their mind.

Shepherd addressed Megan specifically – because Megan is a college graduate and she should know better.

Shepherd said: “Megan Thee Stallion, I love you, I do. But I’m so upset because God gave you a legitimate gift. You are amazing with your lyrical rhymes and how smart you are.”

Shepherd acknowledged that celebrities don’t want to be role models, but she said Megan is an inspiration.

“But here’s the thing: it comes with the territory; being a role model,” Shepherd said. “You can’t escape it… Do you know how many young girls you inspired to go to school also?”
