Later, Shepherd discussed playing Chris Rock's ex-girlfriend in the new film "Top Five." She also reacts to Sheryl Underwood telling her, "You saved my life that day...when we were doing "Beauty Shop" together...I was done. I was going to quit [the business]."

They need you...' and I think we prayed together and see!"
