“I feel lighter. I feel like I can sit up straight, I feel like my body is more proportioned now that my boobs are smaller,” she told the outlet.
“Now, it’s like no wardrobe malfunctions. It feels good. I feel more confident,” Shepherd added. “There was a confidence when I had my boobs and it was a certain [kind of] confidence. But now, it’s just a freedom. I can do more things. I ran across the street the other day and I didn’t have to hold nothing!”

Since the surgery, Shepherd also said she has tons of new bras and is trying to get rid of her old ones that no longer fit.
“I found out that Drake is collecting bras that were thrown at him and he’s gonna auction ‘em off,” Shepherd said. “So these are all of my big-boob bras and I said, ‘You know what? I was gonna give them to my girlfriend… but look, Drake needs them more than you do.'”
“So I’m sending him a care package,” she continued. “And he’s gonna be happy. These are grown women’s bras, Drake. These are not 22-year-old women bras. These are not [from] them women going, ‘Oh my God, you’re so great!’ These are grown woman bras with good credit, OK?”
Shepherd revealed last month during the season 2 premiere of her daytime talk show,Sherri, that she got a breast reduction on July 13.
Shepherd admitted that it’s “bittersweet” because she loved her old breasts, however, they started to take a toll on her body.
“I thought I was carrying around the weight of the world but really it was the weight of my boobs,” she said with a laugh. “All jokes aside, they were so heavy I was slouching all the time. It started becoming really painful, my back was hurting very badly.”
After getting the breast reduction, the former co-host ofThe Viewadmitted, “I feel better. I’m not gonna say I wish I had done this a while ago because timing is everything. God gave them to me, they served me well but now, as I get older, I can sit up straight. I feel lighter.”
