Sherri Shepherd is apologizing to recovering alcoholic, Elizabeth Vargas, after continuously suggesting she should “get drunk” on air.
Last week, when Vargas, 60, appeared on Thursday’s episode of Shepherd’s talk show “Sherri”, the TV host told her: “I’m going to take you to the bar… We’re going to have a drink.”
Vargas, who’s been sober for nearly a decade, awkwardly replied: “[I’ll] have my classic club soda with cranberry juice, but you can pound some shots.”

The “20/20” alum previously revealed that her drinking was triggered by anxiety and panic attacks. However, between 2013 and 2014 she completed three rehab stints and has been sober since.

Hayley Williams is backtracking on her recent actions that occurred during a Paramore concert.
Thania Garcia Paramore’s Hayley Williams has expressed regret and apologized for the way she removed two arguing concert-goers from one of the band’s recent shows in a pensive note uploaded to Discord. “I am sorry for whatever shame or embarrassment I may have caused you,” she wrote. Footage of the confrontation at the Madison Square Garden gig showed the spotlighted attendees at a loss for words when William told them they needed “to find somewhere else to take care of that shit because that’s not happening here tonight, this is our house.” Williams has routinely dedicated a portion of the band’s “This is Why” tour stops to encourage fans to be themselves in the safety and comfortability of their shows, and she wasted no time in making a similar statement at the band’s appearance in New York.
