This really isn’t Steve Harvey’s year to live his best life because the hits just keep on coming. He’s had to battle constant divorce rumors as well as the cancellation of his daytime talk show. And now a former member of his staff is speaking out with an exclusive peek into what it’s like to work with Steve Harvey.
Multiple Personalities
There are many different sides to Steve Harvey and each side is a representation of the man he is. He can either be inspirational, funny or just downright mean. For example, one of his most controversial moments came from a comment he made to a caller during The Steve Harvey Morning Show. After the Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated from the 2017 NBA finals someone from Flint, Michigan called in to poke fun at their loss. Harvey, a Cavs fan and former resident of Cleveland, was not pleased by his comments and began joking about Flint’s ongoing water crisis. After claiming the caller couldn’t take clean showers his co-hosts tried to derail Harvey before he made things worse. Unfortunately, Harvey decided to make things worse anyway. MLive reports;
“I wasn’t talking about the city of Flint,” Harvey told his co-hosts, “I was talking about him.”
Harvey continued on to say, “He gone call in and say Cleveland don’t deserve jack and he over there bathing in all that silver water.”
The caller was still on the line at this point and told Harvey he was “Dee from Flinttown.”
Before taking the next caller, Harvey told the caller there was “one more thing.”
“Go ahead,” the caller said.
“Enjoy your nice brown glass of water,” Harvey said.
He eventually apologized, yet the joke cast Harvey in a brand new light for many fans. And apparently this side of Harvey may be the one that’s the closest to who he truly is.
