Ever wondered how far you'd go to access an airline's VIP lounge? Well, get ready for a story that’s equal parts funny and unexpected. Let’s talk about what Sherri Shepherd did during her recent trip to New Orleans. She didn’t just casually stroll into the Delta Sky Lounge—oh no, she went all out and pretended to be none other than Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer, and guess what? It worked like a charm.
How Sherri Shepherd Got Into the Delta VIP Lounge
At 51, Sherri Shepherd is not only a seasoned comedian but also someone who knows how to make a moment memorable. In an Instagram video that’s got the internet buzzing, Sherri revealed her clever little trick. She walked right into the Delta Sky Lounge at the New Orleans airport, pretending to be Octavia Spencer, the star of The Shape of Water. In the video, Sherri humorously mimics an overly enthusiastic fan in the lounge who can’t stop talking about why Octavia hasn’t won another Oscar yet. The best part? Everyone in the lounge seems to believe her act, hook, line, and sinker. You’ve got to watch the video to fully appreciate the brilliance of it all.

Why Sherri Couldn’t Reveal the Truth
Sherri had a pretty good reason for not spilling the beans to her fellow lounge-goers. In the video, she explains that if she tells them she’s actually Sherri Shepherd, they might just kick her out of the exclusive lounge. "They think that I am Octavia Spencer," she says, "and I can’t tell them that I’m Sherri Shepherd because they’re going to throw me out of the VIP lounge here at Delta… because I used your name to get in." Now, that’s commitment to the act! Interestingly, Octavia Spencer herself didn’t comment on the video, but she did like the post, which suggests she’s all for a little harmless fun.
Reactions from Fans and Celebrities
The internet couldn’t get enough of Sherri’s antics. Social media lit up with comments from fans expressing their appreciation for the laugh. One user wrote, “It’s been a while since I’ve had a good laugh so thank you for that,” while another added, “This is hilarious I love you!” Even fellow actress Taraji P. Henson chimed in, saying, “I AM SCREAMING.” Clearly, Sherri’s comedic genius struck a chord with everyone.
Sherri Shepherd's Other Ventures
Sherri isn’t just entertaining us with her comedic gold; she’s also working on improving her health. In a recent Instagram post, she revealed that she’s lost an impressive 30 pounds. "I am really putting my fat belly out there for ridicule but I am passionate about wanting YOU to feel better," she shared. Sherri’s message goes beyond just losing weight—it’s about finding purpose, overcoming fear, and encouraging others to feel their best. "Find your purpose and get past fear. I want so much for you to experience," she added, showing that her heart is as big as her talent.
