Television personality Steve Harvey has had enough. The 66-year-old media mogul fiercely defended his wife, Marjorie, against rumors of infidelity that recently surfaced. Speaking passionately on his radio show, “The Steve Harvey Morning Show,” he said, “This woman got in the hole and built this with me. She didn’t steal nothing!”
Continuing his defense, Harvey elaborated, “She’s the best chick I know. Now I’m defending her, and you can feel how you want to feel about that.”
The Controversy Spirals: Shirley Strawberry’s Remarks
The waters got muddier when co-host Shirley Strawberry found herself at the epicenter of the controversy. An alleged conversation leaked where Strawberry supposedly insinuated that Harvey was “scared” of his wife. She further implied that Marjorie perceived the radio show crew as beneath her – “the help.”

Realizing the gravity of her statements, Strawberry took to social media, expressing remorse for her comments. “It was just me running my mouth in what I thought was a private conversation. I apologize. I feel terrible,” she shared.
Origin of The Cheating Rumor
Fueling the cheating narrative, YouTuber Keem released content asserting that Marjorie had affairs with both Harvey’s security guard and their personal chef. The now-deleted post once read, “Steve Harvey’s wife cheated on him with the bodyguard & the personal chef.”
