It’s been a wild few weeks for Steve Harvey since the online rumor mill first began to suggest that his wife, Marjorie, had been unfaithful.

Shocking speculation in late August claimed that Marjorie Harvey had cheated on her famous husband with the couple’s bodyguard and chef, with reports adding that she was then seeking a divorce settlement to the tune of $200 million.

Just where the cheating allegations had their roots is anyone’s guess – no evidence was presented to back up the claims, and no official party went on record to verify them – but Harvey and his wife moved quickly to shut them down as being false.

Speaking at Invest Fest in Atlanta, days after the rumors began to swirl, Harvey said: “I’m fine. Marjorie fine. I don’t know what y’all are doing, but find something else to do, ‘cause we fine. Lord, have mercy.”

The TV show host added: “Sometimes … you wanna respond, but I ain’t got no time for rumor and gossip,” he added. “God been good to me. I’m still shining.”

Marjorie, married to Steve since 2007, turned to the internet to put the record straight, writing on Instagram: “My husband and I don’t usually stop to address all the foolishness and lies that have been spread about us.

“However to whom much is given much is required. I understand that with my platform comes some sort of responsibility to those that may not be as strong as we are.”

Yet despite the denials and the Harveys’ united stance that no infidelity has taken place, it would appear that there remain people out there who are yet to be convinced.
