According the Los Angeles Times, Steve Harvey’s rep Bobbie Edmonds said that the judge lifted the gag order per the comedian’s request so that he could respond to his ex-wife’s allegations in YouTube videos that he was unfaithful, evicted her, took their son and left her penniless. A March 10 hearing will determine if Mary Harvey can be held in contempt of court for violating the injunction, according to Edmonds’ statement.
Mary Harvey was given three homes after they split in 2005, a $1.5-million payout and an allowance of $40,000 a month until 2009, according to court documents. Steve Harvey was given primary custody of their then-13-year-old son Wynton, whom Mary Harvey “willingly” put on a plane back to his father. Anyone who is broke and penniless after being given three homes and that much money is definitely crazy.
