It looks like Steve Harvey’s ex-wife/mother of his child, will have a legal fight on her hands over her recently filed lawsuit against him. Mary Harvey and Steve were married from 1996 to 2005, but she’s suing over what she says has transpired since then.

As we previously reported, Mary’s just hit Steve with a $60 million lawsuit for the physical, emotional and psychological anguish she says she’s endured as result of his actions ever since they divorced. In her lawsuit, Mary also revealed that because Steve took her son away from her, she has been suicidal and self-medicating just to deal with the pain throughout the years. TMZ listed the details in Mary’s lawsuit as seeking damages for ‘child endangerment, torture, conspiracy against rights, kidnapping, murder, breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress.’

In a recent interview Mary Harvey also dropped a ton of bombshells about the various ways she says Steve has purposely destroyed her life and how she’s also gone to jail for speaking out about it publicly. There apparently is a clause Mary said Steve put in their custody documents which prohibits her from discussing certain things about their past marriage. Mary made it clear that she will never stop talking about what she’s going through over ‘losing her son to Steve.’

Steve’s Response

Well now that the lawsuit is out, Steve has responded by way of his attorney. Basically his reaction is like “Awww HELL naw!”…except, not in so many words. Check out what his lawyer, Brandon Williams, had to say about Steve’s ex-wife’s claims and $60 mill’ lawsuit:

Via TMZ: Mr. Harvey vehemently denies any allegations set forth in the lawsuit. The Complaint is meritless, frivolous and the allegations are completely false. We will vigorously defend/counterclaim against the Complaint.

By the way, Mary Harvey made it widely known in prior interviews that she has no money and alleged that Steve left her down and out when they divorced. So that’s probably why she didn’t have an actual attorney file the $60 million lawsuit, but instead had a woman whom refers to herself as ‘Mary’s civil right’s activist’ do so on her behalf.

Overall, Mary and her legal representative might as well strap on their seat belts and chill…this is probably gonna be a long, bumpy ride.
