Steve Harvey's Ex-Wife Claims He Cheated and Left Her Homeless

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 24th 2011 04:25PM

Steve Harvey's ex-wife, Mary Harvey, blasted the comedian in a series of YouTube videos this weekend and alleged that he cheated on her, took their son and left her homeless. In the videos, totaling almost 30 minutes, Mary discusses their entire relationship, adding that his infidelity ultimately led to their divorce.

Recalling how their marriage unraveled, she claims that on their second anniversary she accidentally received a "confidential" envelope from his mistress. Although she knew he was cheating on her, Mary stayed with Steve for the sake of their son, Wynton. But she knew the marriage was over when she intercepted a phone call from Marjorie Bridges, whom Steve went on to marry after he and Mary divorced.

"I had committed to growing old with him. The first time I was aware of Marjorie [Bridges], I had nothing else to say ... I had given it all for the sake of my marriage and my family," she says.

After she confronted Steve, he abruptly left and dragged her through grueling divorce proceedings. "He turned my son against me and had me evicted from our house," she claims. "I woke up, and everything was gone."

The couple divorced in 2005. Steve Harvey married Bridges two years later. "When I think about how quickly he moved from me to Marjorie, that was disturbing," she said in the video.

Mary Harvey says she's only speaking now because her ex-husband is suing her. "In Steve's opinion, I was responsible when Oprah did not give him a TV show," she says. "I'm being sued for that. That is why I'm saying what I have to say ... So as much as I'm trying to move forward, I keep getting pulled back into a situation that I don't want to be a part of."

Mary went on to allege that in exchange for dropping the suit, Steve's lawyers prepared a letter for her to sign taking responsibility for the demise of their marriage.

In response, Steve Harvey's attorney released a statement (via PEOPLE) stating, "We are appalled and aware of the videos and other fabricated documents ... which contained false, misleading, derogatory, disparaging, malicious, explicit and slanderous information about Mr. Harvey, his current wife and others ... We are saddened that the ex-wife has resorted to such devious and selfish behavior, with a reckless disregard for their minor son, her adult son and Mr. Harvey's other children."

He is a sick self-centered man to think he can take that child away from his mother and not hurt him-that child wants to see his mother no matter what his sais to that overbearing intimidating father he has! I never did like him -now I know why

Lola, obviously you are the one that is quite inmature sweetie. Like I said, she is not the first and wont be the last woman to be cheated on. Maybe you are in the business of trying to keep a man that does not want to be kept, I am not. My self esteem, very high. If i get cheated on, would I be hurt...maybe. Bitter no, because I know there is something better for me. Oh, and maybe because I know the battle is not mine, it's the Lords.
:-) As far as him taking the children, or the child I am sure they had to go to court for that situation & the ruling was? No it is not right to be cheated on, but it happens Lola, Move on get over it. Have some dignity.

Lady Chun: Exactly! That's what ladies do. Was he wrong, yes!!!!! It has happened move on.

All I can say is I'm very disappointed abt the fact that steve harvey's current wife cheated with steve while he was still married to his ex-wife. I'm also disappointed at how steve treated his ex-wife, he cheated on her and didn't even say he's sorry instead he's all arrogant about it and boasting about his current wife. He believes in God and he should know that God can't be fooled he neither likes nor tolerates ugly.

I'm not judging him but what appalls and disgusts me is his lack of remorse and understanding of the pain he inflicted on his ex-wife.
