Steve Harvey breaks his silence on the rumors about his wife Marjorie
Well, If you've been following the gossip trends lately, you might have heard some wild stories about Steve Harvey's wife Marjorie. Some claim that she's a gold digger who married him for his money. Others say that she's involved in shady business deals and has ties to drug cartels. And some even accuse her of cheating on him with various celebrities.
Speaking during the broadcast of the Steve Harvey Morning Show on Monday, {September 11, 2023}, he warned people to stop spreading lies about her. Outlining her wonderful qualities, the talk show host firmly asserted that his wife was not present when his first marriage to Mary Lee fell apart.
Harvey said, “The woman I married is a good woman, she's the best thing to ever happen to me. She's God-fearing, she's loyal, she's faithful, and she's a kind and loving person. I don't care what nobody say, and y'all quit talking about she was in my other marriage and ruined it. She didn't. She was nowhere around that.”
Well, Steve Harvey has had enough of these lies and he's finally speaking out to defend his wife.
The 66-year-old then went into detail about his relationship with Marjorie, and according to him, she didn't enter the picture until a year after his divorce from Mary-Lee was finalized.
“I got divorced in 2005, my marriage was over when the Kings of Comedy was out. Y'all don't know that though, did you? It was over then. It wasn't worth a quarter then. It took us this long to get to the divorce, that's when the official paperwork came out,” he said.
He went on to stress that when he and Marjorie got together, he had nothing because he had lost it all in the divorce. Harvey also debunked speculations that she got with him because of money stating that he had none.
“In 2005, I had nothing. I lost the radio show we were on in L.A. on May 23, and I lost the only TV show I had on May 10. Steve Harvey had no money. Got with Marjorie on New Year's Eve, met her, and talked to her. She was with her kids in Hawaii, we got together in {2006}, we had nothing. She didn't marry into no riches. I had nothing when I asked her to marry me at the end of {2006}," the comedian continued.
All this comes after the drama the couple went through when infidelity rumors sprung up in {August 2023}, claiming that Marjorie cheated on him with their bodyguard and chef. Harvey already debunked those claims and stood by his wife during the Invest Fest 2023.
On top of that, a private phone call between his cohost Shirley Strawberry and her incarcerated husband leaked. On the phone call, she was heard claiming that Harvey is afraid of his wife and that she looks at the radio show crew as 'the help.' Harvey also laid those claims to rest and Strawberry made sure to apologies during the broadcast.
"I'm tired of y'all talking on my girl. She's the most amazing woman I've ever met. She's smart, beautiful, loyal, and loving. She's been by my side through thick and thin, and she's never given me any reason to doubt her. She's not a gold digger, she's not a criminal, and she's not a cheater. She's my soulmate and my best friend."
He also explained how they met and fell in love, and how they've overcome the challenges of blending their families. He said that they share the same values and goals, and that they support each other's dreams. He said that he's grateful for her presence in his life, and that he doesn't care what the haters say.
"I don't pay attention to the rumors. They're just trying to tear us down because they're jealous of what we have. They don't know us, they don't know our story, they don't know our love. They can say whatever they want, but they can't change the truth. Marjorie is my wife, and I'm proud of her.
