Sheryl Underwood's Tragic Real-Life Story

Growing up in a dysfunctional home meant Underwood witnessed some things that no child should ever be exposed to. As we now know, the painful incidents shaped her into the funny comedienne that she is today, but, still, her life struggles are unfortunate and heartbreaking nonetheless.

Describing one of the most harrowing experiences, she told The Talk viewers (via Us Weekly), "I saw my mother stab my father."

Before the attack, Underwood's relationship with her dad had been strained based on Underwood's belief that he was responsible for her twin's death (more on that in a moment). However, after witnessing the terrifying act of violence, it was at that moment that their relationship was repaired. Underwood noted that she "did not get very close to him" until that very day.  

Fortunately, after undergoing such a traumatic experience, Underwood was able to find comfort in the idea that she was not alone as a survivor of domestic violence. She also said that it was at this time that she recognized that she had a "guardian angel" looking out for her, which brings us back to yet another tragedy in Underwood's life: the loss of her twin sister.
