However, the split also significantly impacted his now ex-wife, Mary Lee.
Steve Harvey and Mary Lee were married in 1996 and were together for nine years until 2005.
While the divorce financially impacted Steve, the messy scenario destroyed Lee’s reputation and more.
Steve and Lee’s battles came to a peak in January 2011, six years after their divorce.
She alleged mistreatment during the divorce and that Harvey had an affair with Marjorie while still married to her.
Lee also accused him of alienating her from their son, Wynton Harvey.
She further claimed that she was destitute and homeless due to unfair financial settlements.
In response, Steve took the battle to court.
But Steve Harvey was far from done.
The box contained chocolates, a card, and a notice summoning her to court in March.
She highlighted her inability to afford a lawyer for her court case, contrasting with Steve’s legal team.
She also added that she wouldn’t be silenced.
In 2018, Mary Lee re-emerged in the media spotlight with a $60 million lawsuit against Steve Harvey.
The suit focused on her mental and emotional distress resulting from their divorce.
She also accused Steve Harvey of child endangerment, torture, and “soul murder.”
Additionally, she revealed her struggles with depression and reliance on medication following the divorce.
However, her lawsuit was eventually dismissed, and there has been little news from Lee since then.
This affair is thought to bethe reason Marcia and Steve Harvey divorced.
