“When I reflect on how swiftly he moved on from me to Margerie, well, that was quite unsettling. Baby Mary Lee is still deeply hurt by not just Steve Harvey abandoning her, but by how Marjorie supplanted her in Steve Harvey’s life and conspired to separate her from her son, Winon. He took my Winon! Took my Winon away from me! He turned my son against me.
Now she’s back and she’s demanding an apology from both Steve and Marjorie, not only for taking her son but also for the many years they spent convincing the public that she’s ‘crazy.’ Just for some context: Steve met Mary at a mall in Texas in 1989, where she was working as a makeup artist. They got married in 1996 and were together for almost a decade. However, one of the major issues in their marriage was Steve’s infidelity—he couldn’t seem to stay faithful, y’all! They eventually divorced, and Steve made sure to leave Mary in a difficult position.
After her divorce from Steve, she lost the comfortable lifestyle she had while married to him, and even the fashion designers who once sought her out stopped returning her calls. Initially, Mary thought it was all Steve’s doing until she realized that Marjorie was behind her downfall. Mary even made a bold YouTube exposé, revealing Steve and Marjorie’s actions. Marjorie forced her to take down the videos and took her to court. Steve and Marjorie denied all allegations and released a statement saying, ‘We are shocked and aware of the videos and other false, misleading, derogatory, malicious, explicit, and slanderous information about Mr. Harvey, his current wife, and others. We are saddened that the ex-wife has resorted to such deceitful and selfish behavior with no regard for their minor son, her adult son, and Mr. Harvey’s other children.’
Sweetheart, despite what others may say, I vividly recall the specifics of that video. One thing Mary discussed was her eviction from her home and how Steve and Marjorie allegedly turned her son against her.
Now, according to court documents filed by Marjorie and Steve, they claimed Mary sent her son to Steve without his knowledge, a claim Mary vehemently denies. Mary isn’t the only one who feels a child was taken from her; remember Marjorie’s ex, Jimmy? He revealed Marjorie’s involvement in his criminal past and her transition from one lifestyle to another to support herself—letting the truth speak for itself.
Marjorie herself was under investigation by the FBI in the past. They suspected she played a significant role in criminal activities. Authorities informed Jimmy that Marjorie was at risk of arrest due to substantial evidence against her. Jimmy struck a deal with the FBI to protect Marjorie, taking the blame himself because Marjorie was pregnant with their second child, Jason, and he feared for their daughter Morgan.
It’s ironic that Jimmy did this for Marjorie, only for her to abandon him once she met Steve and took on his children, similar to what allegedly happened with Mary’s son. Jimmy told ‘The Globe’ that they reconnected after his release, but he claimed Steve Harvey forbade Marjorie from talking to him, saying, ‘I used to be able to call her anytime, day or night, and she’d be there. But after she met him, the calls stopped.’
Feeling betrayed by Marjorie, Jimmy wrote a tell-all book exposing the criminal activities during their time together. He shared with ‘Radar Online’ that he had hesitations due to their children but decided to proceed because Marjorie had shown her true nature. He declared, ‘I owe no loyalty to Marjorie; I’m telling my side. It doesn’t matter if she knows; I’m sharing my truth. Only Marjorie and I know what really happened.’
Returning to Mary, amidst her explosive videos, she revealed Steve’s infidelities, providing evidence like an explicit email from Steve to another woman and a letter from a lover detailing their affair, contraception use, and even a terminated pregnancy supposedly involving Steve.
But that wasn’t the extent. Mary disclosed that Steve had been cheating with Marjorie, even living with her in their New York apartment. Mary discovered this through emails, text messages, and other revelations, leaving her shattered and seeking closure through divorce. Steve swiftly left for New York, where Mary never had the chance to visit, and Marjorie soon joined him.
Mary delved into how this infidelity devastated her family, recounting Marjorie’s audacity in calling their private, unlisted number pretending to inquire about a job application at Steve’s company. It seemed Marjorie wanted Mary to know she existed, calling a line she knew Steve wouldn’t answer.
Rumors suggested Marjorie strategically orchestrated her initial meeting with Steve in 1987 at a Memphis comedy club, arriving conspicuously late and taking a prominent seat. Steve, still married to his first wife at the time, reportedly declared upon seeing Marjorie that he would marry her. This marked a time when Steve prioritized his career over family, spending days working and nights refining his comedy while neglecting his home life until he ultimately chose his career over his family.
Marsha found herself raising their 13-year-old twin daughters and 2-year-old son alone after Steve refused to provide child support. It’s shocking to realize this is the same man people refer to as the ‘Oracle of Black Dating.’
When Mary publicly exposed Marjorie for stealing Steve and conspiring to take her son, she demanded justice. Mary asserted, “I want what I worked 16 years for! I stood by him when he had nothing, so I deserve my fair share of the wealth. I want everything back that Steve and Marjorie took from me. They left me to struggle, but I want what’s rightfully mine—half of everything they’ve amassed since 2005.”
Despite Steve Harvey’s influence, Mary lost a defamation lawsuit against them in 2013 and served 30 days in jail. Later, she was arrested for allegedly ignoring a child support order she didn’t know about, leading to a gag order and no contact with her son.
In 2018, Mary accused Steve of child endangerment, torture, deprivation, and brainwashing. She revealed her battle with depression during their highly publicized divorce in 2005.
Mary continued to allege that Steve deliberately damaged her relationship with their son, Winon, and caused significant losses in her business ventures. She sought $60 million in damages and demanded Steve be imprisoned.
Now, Mary seeks an apology, feeling that she endured an injustice. She remains steadfast in her pursuit of what she believes is rightfully hers.
