Exclusive Video: A Scorned Mary Harvey Tells More
Monday morning, Mary Shackleford Harvey, the former wife of comedian, Essence columnist, author and radio show host Steve Harvey, came to the TJMS to speak about her allegations of infidelity and financial disaster during and after their 16-year marriage.
After the show, the ex-Mrs. Harvey granted TJMS producer Deya Smith an exclusive video interview where she delves even deeper into her feelings and gives us an inside look at the Harvey relationship (click the link above to view). Shackleford Harvey explains in detail why she’s not the "angry black woman" that many believe that she is, citing the timing of events.
“If I was angry, the time for me to strike out would have been during the actual window of the divorce. So obviously, it’s taken me all this time to gather myself, to get better and to get healed and deal with big picture of this,” Shackleford Harvey says. She goes on to explain the reason why the situation has come to this and why it can be detrimental to make Mr. Harvey the spokesperson for successful relationships.
The Harvey feud (no pun intended) is representative of an all-too-common problem that exists in our community. We’ve all seen it many times amongst friends and sometimes right there in our own living rooms. The relationship between black men and women has deteriorated over time and has negatively affected our families for generations. Many times, we don’t know how to be friends, love or when the relationship has run its course, remain respectful of each others’ feelings.
Is this simply a case of a woman scorned? Has Mr. Harvey earned the status of relationship guru? It all depends on who you ask. Only time will tell what the affects of this public ordeal will have on the Harvey family and the public’s opinion of Mr. Harvey, his ex-wife and current wife. But it is safe to say that we’ll never know the complete truth any time soon. You can never really know what goes on in someone’s home. Instead of judges, we can only be spectators to this ordeal. And hopefully, we can all learn something from it.

She needs to vent her rage and frustration coz' Steve is man enough to take it. He did it so he shouldn't be bothered when she lashes back! She held back for more years than most would have so she's done good! My concern is that a brutha' did wrong by this siistah' financially! She was a dodo for going along with it, but still she is owed more money than she got and I don't appreciate Steve Harvey for treating the mother of his child this way! Think about it, what if it were you?

THE MORE SHE BASHES HIM AND WANTS HER STORY TO BE HEARD THE MORE POPULARITY AND STARDOM IT IS GIVING 2 HIM!!!!!! PLEASE LET IT GO!! A woman should never give a man the satisfaction of knowing that he has ANY power over her! And a woman should also have respect for her children no matter what a man TRIES to do to her! You are WEAK and BITTER as long as you ALLOW that person to have that control of you!!
