Steve Harvey slams ex-wife after YouTube video

TV host Steve Harvey has a response to his ex-wife's YouTube sofa rants. After videos of ex-wife Mary Harvey were self-published to YouTube this week, Harvey publicly slammed her back demanding she steer clear of attacking his new wife and their son

HARVEY TO EX-WIFE: YOUTUBE VIDEOS MADE SON CRY

"If you want to pray for us, then pray for Wynton," Harvey said of their son, who reportedly cried when he confronted with his mother's YouTube videos. "I know the truth...the part that's hurtful in this is my wife and children had to be <span style="font-weight: bold">drugged</span> into this."

"VINDICTIVE" RANTS UPSET CURRENT WIFE, FAMILY

Spoken on-set at "The Steve Harvey Morning Show," Harvey suggested his wife channel her "vindictive" words to him instead of his family (see the videos here). Of all things said on her YouTube videos, what most upset Harvey was what he addressed last.

HARVEY DEFENDS ROLE AS FATHER

"I have taught [our son] to be respectful of his mother and women overall. That's what I've taught him," he said. "If I have custody of the child, which you have to wonder how that happened, then my job is to teach him by example. And he's crying through this whole thing because his friends called and his sister found it on the internet at the same time."

"MY WIFE AND KIDS ARE OFF LIMITS"

He adds, "You could do me all you want, I don't care what you say about me. But my wife and kids are off limits."

Harvey vs. Harvey: Angry Ex-Wife Blasts Comic

Mary Harvey took to YouTube this week to allege that Steve Harvey her ex-husband, is a serial cheater. (AP)
<span style="font-weight: bold">Comic/author/radio host Steve Harvey may now rue the day he became a “relationship” expert. According to his ex-wife, Mary Harvey, he’s hardly qualified given his own indiscretions during their marriage.</span>Mary Harvey took to YouTube this week to allege that not only was Steve Harvey a serial cheater, but that one of the women he cheated on her with was his current wife, Marjorie Harvey. Over 200,000 YouTube users watched at least one of the three-part video series released by Mary Harvey a few days ago. In them, a composed Mary Harvey details her relationship with her ex-husband and says that not only did he cheat on her; he used his celebrity and money to force her into an unfair divorce and take their son, Wynton, away from her.

(In 2007, Mary Harvey sued her former divorce lawyer, Ricky Anderson, who was also Steve Harvey’s attorney, claiming that she was forced into a quick divorce to hide his many issues, including emotional and physical abuse.)

Mary Harvey has also alleged that Steve Harvey is suing her in Texas, claiming that he blames her for keeping him off the OWN Network, the network founded by Oprah Winfrey.

"In Steve's opinion, I was responsible when Oprah did not give him a TV show," Mary Harvey told People.com. "I'm being sued for that. That is why I'm saying what I have to say." She also told People.com that Harvey referenced her in a recent Essence cover story, which upset her.

But in the YouTube videos - which are, in total, almost a half-hour long - Mary Harvey says she wanted to get some “closure” from the situation after friends and family members told her about a book called “Why Do I Have to Think Like A Man?," which was fashioned as an answer book to Steve Harvey’s two books on women and relationships. Mary Harvey also says she wanted to help other women by sharing her story.

Steve Harvey, one of the “Kings of Comedy” who currently hosts a syndicated morning radio program, has achieved success in recent years in a new arena – that of relationship guru. His two books “Act Like A Lady – Think Like a Man” and “Straight Talk, No Chaser: How To Find, Keep and Understand a Man,” have made bestseller lists and brought him to Winfrey’s attention. The talk-show mogul featured Steve Harvey and his first book on a women-only show.

Despite his popularity as a self-styled relationship advisor, Steve Harvey admitted to infidelity and more in his personal life, saying that he was a changed man after becoming a “man of God.” Now married to his third wife, he has become involved in the Disney Dream Academy to mentor young people and is the long-time host of BET’s “Celebration of Gospel,” as well as, ironically enough, the game show “Family Feud.”

Steve Harvey's lawyers responded soon after the videos went viral. His attorney, Bobbie Edmonds, released a letter to media calling Mary Harvey’s comments “slanderous, false, misleading, derogatory and disparaging." The statement further reads, "The ex-wife is fully aware of the court's current orders and permanent injunctions which prohibit either party, their lawyers or representatives from discussing and releasing information on the Internet and to the media. We are taking the necessary legal steps to rectify this matter to the full extent of the law, and we will be seeking contempt and sanctions against her for such reprehensible and callous disregard for the court orders."

Despite those orders, Steve Harvey responded via his radio program and via Twitter, telling a user that he didn’t respond to lies. On his show, where he was broadcasting live from a Disney cruise, he said, in part: "I know the truth. But the matter is, the part that's hurtful in this is my wife and children had to be drugged [sic] into this. If you're going to be vindictive, go ahead and aim it at me, but my son is coming in the room crying. And that's also her son. So why would you do this?”

He added: "So, I'm just more concerned about my son, who I happen to have total custody of, rights to all education and everything. He's with us on the ship today. And he doesn't deserve to have to answer questions like this from his friends. And it's just being inconsiderate of your own child.”

“But it is what it is, I'm good,” Harvey continued. “I appreciate all the support ... the people that's going to hate you, they're just looking for something to hate you for anyway. You could do me all you want, I don't care what you say about me. But my wife and kids are off limits, I tell people all the time. If you want to pray for us, then pray for Wynton. But things will be dealt with in the proper fashion this time.”

<span style="font-weight: bold">For her part, Marjorie Harvey also issued a statement through her lawyer, saying that she’s considering filing a lawsuit against Mary Harvey.</span>
"As a wife and a mother, I cannot stand back and allow the defamation of my character or actions that will malign my family," Marjorie Harvey said through her lawyer, C. Anthony Mulrain, according to BlackVoices.com, to whom the statement was released. "So, I will do what I need to do to the greatest extent of the law. The posting is nothing more than a sad attempt by Mary to make herself relevant in the eyes of the media."

Mary and Steve Harvey divorced in 2005. Marjorie and Steve Harvey married in 2007.

Re: Steve Harvey slams ex-wife after YouTube video

I don't know what happened with them but he better watch his back because the ex-wife is desperate. He has custody of their son too, she got put out the house, etc? Yes, that is a red alert situation.

I don't know how long they were together. One thing I can say about comedians as opposed to the regular Hollywood set is that you rarely see their wives. Cedric the Entertainer, Bernie Mac (never saws his wife until he died), D.L. Hughley, Chris Rock (might have seen her one time), and all the rest no matter the race keep their wives on the dl.

Given Steve and his ex-wife's age range which is probably 50+ and she's making You Tube videos, then that's a problem. I have not heard both sides but it sounds like he just found somebody he wanted more than her and had enough money to make it happen.

She sounds like she's left with nothing to lose and that's a dangerous person to be angry with you.

Mary Shackleford Harvey: I Want an Apology

Mary Shackleford Harvey: I Want an Apology

Date: Monday, January 31, 2011, 9:25 am
By: Tonya Pendleton, BlackAmericaWeb.com

Mary Shackleford Harvey surprised many when she recently uploaded three videos to YouTube alleging bad treatment from her former husband, comedian and TV personality Steve Harvey. No one was more surprised than Harvey, who had legal restrictions in place that should have precluded either of them from talking about their marriage or divorce.

The former Mrs. Harvey alleges that Harvey used his celebrity and the money that she helped him earn during their 16 years together to take advantage of her in court, leaving her broke, homeless and without custody of their son, Wynton, now 12.

Shackleford Harvey also alleges that the author of two popular New York Times bestselling relationship books - “Act Like a Lady, Think Like A Man” and “Straight Talk, No Chaser: How To Find, Keep and Understand a Man” - has misled the public that believes in his advice. She alleges that Harvey’s third wife, Marjorie, was his longtime mistress and that the two of them have willfully ignored the pain they put her through. And although the Harveys were divorced in 2005, Shackleford Harvey is coming out now, she says, because of Harvey’s references to her in the media.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Here are some excerpts from an hour-long conversation Harvey had Sunday with BlackAmericaWeb.com.</span>

BlackAmericaWeb.com: After being divorced from Steve Harvey for six years, what made you decide to speak out now?

MARY SHACKLEFORD HARVEY: In time to get back on my feet mentally and emotionally from this whole situation, I have been working on myself, going to therapy and working out and eating healthly. In that process, I was hoping that Steve would face me, and I would have rather that he had apologized and worked with me to help me have a good relationship with Wynton. I was hoping that we could reconcile about our property and our wealth, things that never got dealt with. He just kind of left that door open and went and re-started his life with someone else and left me holding the emotional bag of it and the mental bag of it and the financial bag of it.

You have talked about how you were unfairly treated in the divorce. Did you have a pre-nuptial agreement at all?

There was nothing to pre-nup. He didn’t have anything. I didn’t have anything. Steve and I married in 1996, but had lived together five and a half years previous to 1996.

So, when you married, he was just starting the career he has now.

Yes, he was getting $25 to $400 a week, depending on the venue.

Is it true that you and Steve used the same divorce attorney?

He was our family attorney. I filed in the state of Texas, and Steve and I decided to use our family attorney, as the whole thing was not to create what’s actually happening right now. I decided I no longer wanted to be his wife. The whole thing was making me sick, physically. I burned my thyroid out and I was literally getting sick. My thing was not to destroy Steve publicly or financially. So I agreed, let’s go to court and work this out with our lawyer. But that was not what happened.

So, you used the lawyer to work out certain terms of the divorce, and you’re saying that although certain things were agreed upon, they never happened? .....

The attorney said that in 30 days, everything would be divided equally. Thirty days after that, nothing happened. I started to call the family attorney; he wouldn’t take my calls. The accountants, the bankers - everybody acted like they didn’t know who I was. I actually gave Steve two years to set this right with me, and he didn’t. I didn’t get an outside attorney until January of 2007. That’s how all of this got on MediaTakeout and all of that.

Was there a new settlement that came into play once that new attorney was hired? I would think that Steve does have assets.

Absolutely. He had closed out our joint accounts. The judge said to not make any moves, either one of you. Don’t buy anything; don’t sell anything until this gets resolved. Steve just totally ignored that and started closing bank accounts and liquidating stuff and opening stuff up in his name. He and the attorney started new business entities in both of their names. Our accountants in Chicago were just in cahoots with this whole situation. I was totally left in the dark about it. By the time I brought this new lawyer in, so many things had gotten moved and shifted around.

Steve is a public figure, so he’s someone who can be found. How did it turn out that you received nothing in the divorce?

I didn’t get anything.

No money, no property, nothing?

I don’t own anything. I know this is hard to believe. This is the 21st century. This is America, USA. But that is exactly what happened. Steve came into that courtroom with his entourage and his lawyers and all these people that packed out the courtroom, and I’m sitting on the other side with my lawyer that I could afford. When the situation started to unravel, the judge didn’t want anything to do with it. He just wanted it out of his court. A lot of things that he had requested Steve to do got sidetracked. I wasn’t important enough for that whole thing to get enforced.

Steve decided that he was going to pay me $40,000 a month until everything got rectified. He paid me $40,000 for 10 months. By the time he dragged it all out, I had three Texas attorneys. Six, seven months later, I’m out of money and Steve has totally exhausted me – appeal this and appeal that and all three of these lawyers get intimidated by him; they get glassy eyed because he’s the star and the fire they had at the beginning is not even there anymore.

I don’t own anything. I have a one-bedroom in L.A. The place Steve calls the ranch where the takes the kids and does his mentoring – I sold my share of that to Steve for $1.5 million and that’s what I’ve been living off of. That’s all I could do. I couldn’t win - no way, no how.

By bringing this information to light, how do hope to see this resolved?

Because Steve insists in bringing me up publicly and making me the heavy in the breakup of our marriage, what I want the public to be is more informed about this man that they are calling the relationship expert and the love guru. People need to understand who it is that they’re dealing with. In using the media to promote his book, once again, that’s a show of power. I want this to be public because I didn’t want Steve to think that I was weak, and I was powerless, and I was voiceless so that he could keep doing me the way he wanted to do me. His disrespecting me, Marjorie disrespecting me, not allowing me to establish a relationship with my son, that had to stop.

Steve was on the January 2010 cover of Essence, and you’ve said that he referenced you in the article. What did he say that upset you so much, and did he refer to you specifically?

My name was in that article. The article said in Steve’s words that ‘I’m finally happy and that I haven’t been this happy since 2005 and I was in the company of the wrong person.' My name mentioned in any way was offensive to me; why mention me at all? I would think that he and Marjorie have plenty to talk about, as opposed to bringing me into an article that has nothing to do with me.

Does Steve have full custody of your son?

We both agreed that Wynton would stay with him during the school term. Every other weekend and the summer I was supposed to have access to him, and we were rotating holidays. Steve will send Wynton to me once every six months like he’s doing me a favor.

Why did you agree to have Wynton live with Steve?

I didn’t have a choice, and after Steve had taken everything from me, Steve’s whole case to the judge was that she doesn’t have a home to put Wynton into; she doesn’t have a job, and she doesn’t have a support system. He was right about all those things because he had taken all those things from me. Wynton was very much hurt by this whole situation. Between 2005 and 2007, Steve would barely talk to Wynton. Steve told me that I if I didn’t give him custody, he was going to make it very hard for me and Wynton, so that’s why he ended up with custody.

Do you regret that decision?

No. When I made that arrangement with Steve, I was hoping that he would be a kinder father than he ever was a husband to me. Wynton was going through enough, and he didn’t need me verbally abusing his father to him. Once again, that was me trying to do the best that I could do for Wynton, but Steve took advantage of that.

What kind of dialogue do you have with Wynton now? Even if you don’t see him as much, I’m sure as his mother, you want to reassure him that you love him.

I send Wynton text messages, and most of the time, Wynton doesn’t have his phone. Steve has a habit of taking his phone, and I’ve never had a number to the house. I just text Wynton and hope he texts me back or hope he got the message or hope they didn’t get his phone and erase the message. It’s hard to look at him on TV smiling and know behind closed doors that this is happening. I probably have two conversations with Wynton in a 30-day stretch. My relationship with my son, it’s a joke.

You’ve alleged that Marjorie, Steve’s current wife, had a relationship with Steve during your marriage. At this point, what do you have to say about Marjorie?

Marjorie interfered with my family. She had no thoughts about how it was going to impact Wynton and how it was going to change him. She didn’t act like a lady. She came into this totally wrong to disrupt my family, and that’s what she did. So for her and Steve to present this perfect picture like they’re the reflection of our culture, and there’s a reward for it - disrespect your wife, marry your mistress, and there’s a reward from God for it - I was not going to let that happen, not anymore.

A lot of time, when there is a wife, a mistress and husband, the mistress takes a great deal of blame for that situation, but you’ve already said that Steve wasn’t good to you. So, if Steve was not a nice guy, is this a reward or is his new wife getting what she deserves?

That statement was not to say that this has been a reward. She wanted to be Mrs. Harvey. Now she’s getting the good and the bad of it. So she’s actually getting what she absolutely deserves. They both are getting what they absolutely deserve. They had no qualms or conscience about what they were doing. He wanted what he wanted, which was her, and she wanted what she wanted, which was the lifestyle. The two of them were just thinking of themselves.

How do you feel about Steve now? You were married to him. You had a child together. How do you feel about him today?

Part of me not speaking out until now was because of my affection for Steve, still. I don’t hate him, but I definitely don’t like what he did. Steve is going to have to step up to the plate and face what he’s done. I want him to be man enough to face what he’s done. He’s going to have to apologize, and I don’t mean over the phone. He publicly brought our divorce into this, and he’s publicly going to have to make it right. I was made the public heavy, but up until now, I didn’t open my mouth. I don’t want Steve to lose his shirt; I don’t want Steve to lose how he earns a living. But what Steve is going to have to do is face what he’s done to me. He’s going to have to face his deceit to the women that bought that book under the premise that he’s this all-around guy, and he’s the relationship expert for everybody
