Steve Harvey Addresses Wife Cheating Rumors
LAS VEGAS, NV - DECEMBER 20: Television personality and host Steve Harvey (L) and his wife Marjorie Harvey attend the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on December 20, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Steve Harvey is setting the record straight. After rumors began swirling that he and his wife Marjorie Bridges were getting a divorce after she allegedly cheated on him, Harvey cleared up the false claims.
“Before I get started, just let me say, I’m fine. Marjorie’s fine,” Harvey told the audience on Sunday’s Invest Fest 2023 in Atlanta in a now-viral TikTok.
“I don’t know what y’all doing, but find something else to do ’cause we fine. Lord have mercy,” Harvey expressed, later adding, “I ain’t got no time for rumors and gossip. God’s been good to me, I’m still shining,” he added.
Harvey and Bridges met in 1990, but after being in previous relationships, they married 17 years later in 2007. Bridges has three children from her previous relationship: daughters Lori and Morgan and her son Jason. Harvey adopted all three children when they got married.
This was not the only incident that Harvey had to settle recently. A recent tweet of the television host’s went viral when his account posted a question asking his followers to “name a comedian you don’t think is funny at all.” According to Revolt, the tweet was viewed over one million times. He went on social media to address the viral post saying that he did not authorize the tweet to be sent.
“Somebody that works for me on my Twitter put a statement out that was totally negative. I gotta take responsibility for it ’cause they work for me, but the engagement was talking about ‘name a comedian you don’t think is funny.’ Why would I do something like that?” he asked rhetorically.
“That don’t even make no d— sense,” he continued. “My whole brand is to be motivational, and I’mma turn around a say something like that? You don’t know where these young people [are] at in they career, man. They could be coming up or anything. I’m all about positivity; I would’ve never done nothing like that.”

10 Black '90s Sitcoms to Stream Now
The 1990s had a plethora of sitcoms that celebrated the Black experience and launched several actors’ careers. A common theme that runs throughout all of the shows selected is family. Additionally, many of these series show the importance of a chosen family.
Shows like Living Single featured main characters living within the same building or across the street from one another. They created a community in which they take care of each other. While the main character’s family makes appearances on the show, their role is mostly used for context on the character’s development.
In a workplace sitcom like The Jamie Foxx Show, it is very relatable to everyday life. Let’s face it: We see our coworkers more than we see our families. The show can easily connect with that fact
but also how coworkers can be a lending ear to life’s problems as well as fostering a familial relationship.
A coming-of-age sitcom like Moesha shows how childhood and high school years play a pivotal role in our development of relationships inside and outside of the home. Specifically, in Moesha, the show explores how the loss of her mother affected her ability to accept her father’s new wife and ultimately changed the family dynamic she once had. Through her personal issues within herself, she is still managing how to navigate school, friendships, and romantic relationships.
Sibling relationships were also a common premise in the ’90s with shows like Sister, Sister and The Wayans Bros. While real-life siblings were used in the shows, their stark differences in character show that your closest confidant could be the person you share a parent with.
Now, with streaming available, you don’t have to wait for your favorite show to be played on late-night television. You can use your favorite app to relive all of your favorite moments from these hit shows.
