Lawyer for Steve Harvey Responds to Ex-Wife's "False, Misleading, Malicious, Slanderous" Statements

He turned my son against me, had me evicted from our house. I woke up, and everything was gone.

This is just one of a countless number of statements Mary Harvey made this week about her ex-husband, Steve Harvey.

In an unprecedented, sort of hilarious move, she recorded three videos on YouTube, all of which accuse the best-selling author of dastardly deeds such as infidelity and… more infidelity.

Representing the actor, attorney Bobbie Edmonds has now released a statement that refers to Mary’s diatribe as containing “false, misleading, derogatory, disparaging, malicious, explicit and slanderous information about Mr. Harvey, his current wife and others.”

She adds:

“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.”

Mary says that Stev is suing her because he believes her allegations prevented him from landing a show on Oprah Winfrey’s new cable network.

Without addressing this issue, Edmonds concludes:

“We are saddened that the ex-wife has resorted to such devious and selfish behavior, with a reckless disregard for their minor son [Broderick, 13], her adult son and Mr. Harvey’s other children.”
