Steve Harvey, the well-known comedian and television personality, has been thrust into the spotlight due to a series of events: one involving a social media mishap and the other being false rumours of his wife, Marjorie, allegedly cheating on him.
Steve Harvey social media mishap transforms into fake news
The first incident revolved around a negative tweet posted on Harvey’s Twitter account, which prompted him to share a video explaining that he had fired his social media manager responsible for the tweet.
The tweet asked followers to name a comedian who doesn’t make them laugh, an action that he found nonsensical and out of line with his values.
Harvey expressed that the tweet was contradictory to his brand, which focuses on positivity and motivation.

Steve and Marjorie Harvey relationship history
Steve and Marjorie’s relationship has been a prominent topic of discussion, largely due to their unique journey to marriage.
They first crossed paths when Steve performed at a club in Memphis, Tennessee, in the early 90s, years before their eventual marriage in 2007.
Despite their immediate connection, their relationship hit a rough patch after a few weeks of dating due to Steve’s financial struggles and career-focused mindset.
Their story took a turn in 2005 when Steve found himself single again and Marjorie’s name resurfaced through the suggestion of his bodyguard.
The pair reconnected, leading to their second chance at love. The couple’s relationship has been characterised as transformative for both, with Steve acknowledging Marjorie’s positive impact on his life and career.
