"I'm hoping, and I'm stating it publicly, that I would like her to stop and move on," Tarpley told TV's "Inside Edition."
During his marriage to Shepherd, Tarpley fathered a child with another woman. He and Shepherd attempted to work through the infidelity before breaking up permanently five years ago.
"I'm not claiming to be the best husband. ... I made mistakes. We both did. But am I going to go back six years and talk about those things for the next five years? Would it be funny? I want to move forward," Tarpley said, adding he understands comedians mine their lives for material, but insisting her jokes are hurtful to the young son they have together.
"I know that's what she does. But this is detrimental to me and my feelings, my son and my son's future," he said. "She presents it in a humorous manner, but it's never in a humorous context. I've never laughed about it. My family doesn't laugh at it."
Although Shepherd defended her actions to "Inside Edition," she also said she is willing to move on.
"God bless my husband…. People have to look at the show. We portray him in a very, very good light on my show and, I mean, there're some facts that are just factual. But I say, 'Hey, let's focus on John Edwards with his mistress and Eliot Spitzer with his mistress, we'll stay off my husband, or ex -- I should say.' … I'm tired of talking about him."
