On Blast: Steve Harvey’s Ex-Wife Mary Spills the T.E.A. [VIDEO]

Jan, 25 2011 | Written by ATLien

Not long after comedian Steve Harvey, 54, hit his mid-life crisis and went shirtless for the masses, he reinvented himself as a love and relationship guru through a slew of bestselling self-help books. The most popular of which, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” was featured on Oprah.

[READ: Steve Harvey ~ Never Meant to Make Your Daughter Cry…]

In Steve’s real life, however, his ex-wife claims he was a no-good cheating husband. In a trio of YouTube videos that have gone viral, Mary Harvey finally acknowledges what some have assumed all along. That Steve Harvey is a hypocrite. Making money giving relationship advice while he’s nothing but a cheater himself.

“He turned my son against me, had me evicted from my house,” Mary says in one clip. (They divorced in 2005.) “I woke up, and everything was gone.”

Mary also added that Steve’s current wife, Marjorie Bridges, was originally his mistress. (Maybe I’m lost.. but who didn’t know that?)

View all three clips of Steve’s ex-wife Mary spilling all the TEA on Mr. Harvey below: Continue Reading…
