Steve Harvey isn’t a fan favorite these days. Due to his support of Donald Trump, Steve rubbed fans the wrong way months ago. But, last week Steve turned heads again when a memo to his staffers was leaked. well folks, now a new layer has just been added to the ever-intensifying heat Steve’s been catching…it’s getting hot as hell in his kitchen…
More Drama:
For most fans, the memo shed light on an unfavorable side of Steve because his demands seemed a bit harsh. Shortly after the memo made headlines, Steve spoke with Entertainment Tonight and confirmed that the memo was authentic and made no apologies for his demands. “I don’t apologize about the letter, but it’s kind of crazy what people who took this thing and ran, man. I just didn’t want to be in this prison anymore where I had to be in this little room, scared to go out and take a breath of fresh air without somebody approaching me, so I wrote the letter.”
But despite Steve’s explanation, some fans are tired of his actions. Now, a new online petition is calling for Steve to be boycotted because of his seemingly rude actions.
The Petition:
A petition has surfaced on Change.org and fans are being asked to boycott the comedian/talk show host. In the petition, Steve was labeled a ‘coon’ and ‘sell-out’ for his alleged loyalty to Trump. But, that’s not all. He’s even been accused of turning his back on fans. Check out a part of the petition below:
“TV Host Steve Harvey, is the latest victim of a Trump Tower meeting, and most recent African American celebrity to sell his soul to current president-elect Donald Trump. Harvey’s claim that President Obama urged the meeting with Trump hasn’t been confirmed by The White House, and many like comedian DL Hughley see this as nothing but another celebrity photo-op. Steve Harvey who’s known for crowning the wrong winner, racist jokes aimed at Asian Men, and coonish comedy on his morning show, turned his back on millions of loyal listeners and went from dismissing the racist/sexist Donald Trump to full praise mode.”
The petition continued, “We aim to have The Steve Harvey Morning Show removed and replaced with something all listeners can enjoy from Asian to African American.”
Steve Harvey has yet to respond to the petition, but I can only imagine that his publicist are getting paid overtime right about now to clean up this PR nightmare.
