Steve Harvey’s $100 Million Empire Of Lies

Steve Harvey's eye-rolling rags-to-riches fairy tale of going from homeless bum to $100 million mastermind is a shameless scam built on lies!

Evidence uncovered in a world exclusive National ENQUIRER investigation exposes the haunting secrets and scandalous accusations behind the TV King of Sin’s megawatt smile and hollow success. In a shocking dossier of sealed documents leaked to The ENQUIRER, Steve is accused of using sleazy intimidation tactics, crooked bagmen and hired thugs to do his dirty work — all in order to cheat his own family!

“The deeper you dig and the further you look into Steve’s secret past, the more shocking it becomes,” a source snitched.“Frankly, there doesn’t seem to be one single shred of decency to him as a man, father, husband OR entertainer!” The phony funnyman selfishly walked out on pregnant wife Marcia and their twin daughters to follow his dream of becoming a comedian.

But while he is fond of repeating how tough times left him living in his car for three years, he rarely mentions his former family had to take him to court to get almost $40,000 in child support. “Steve is nothing but a fraud and a fake,” an industry source ranted. Determined to keep his fortune, Steve allegedly amassed a crack team of fixers when his second marriage — to Mary Shackelford — went sour in 2005. Newly unearthed legal documents accused the “Family Feud” favorite of hiding assets and his true worth during the exhausting divorce process.

Steve is also accused of shamelessly trying to cover his tracks by sealing the documents and slapping a gag order on Mary. “It’s rare anyone gets a gagging order or documents sealed unless they have something to hide,” one legal eagle snitched. “At the time, Steve Harvey wasn’t the household name he is today, so it does make you wonder what his motives were.” Those motives, as revealed exclusively by The ENQUIRER, appeared to be exposed in notes contained in Mary and Steve’s divorce decree. “It is my belief that Mr. Harvey knowingly and willfully lied to me as well as to the courts,” it noted.

    A legal source close to the case warned that Steve may have committed perjury. “Mr. Harvey did not fully disclose assets, lied about the status of a yacht, $800,000 and did not include or list all his companies.” The documents then claimed how one of Steve’s longtime representatives working on the legal separation is an entertainment lawyer — not a divorce attorney!

What’s more, the associate was also allegedly engaged in business deals and secret slush funds with Steve, and originally represented Mary in the divorce, before swapping sides! “Every time Mary filed, [Steve’s associate] notified [redacted]. He was alerting [him] to move money. He broke client’s confidentiality agreement,” it’s claimed in documents. Mary previously launched a lawsuit against the “attorney,” claiming he was always secretly working in Steve’s interest while representing her.

The divorce decree divided the couple’s assets, and far from “losing everything” as Steve has described, the host walked away with 14 plots of land in Texas, various companies, bank accounts, equities, trusts and 29 vehicles including three Rolls-Royce cars, three Range Rovers, a speedboat and two Maybach 57s! It also said Steve initially claimed financial hardship, yet “misrepresented to the court” as he bought five lavish new properties with new partner Marjorie Bridges. In the decree, Mary is promised property, but the notes, made in early 2008, claimed she hadn’t received the required deed to take ownership of her own house.

Even while his divorce from Mary was rumbling on, cigar-puffing Steve wasted no time in moving on with former gangster moll Marjorie! She was single after two failed marriages to jailed cocaine dealers, and met Steve through another shady crony, pimp-turned-bodyguard William “Big Boom” Freeman. Steve’s bully-boy tactics raged on as he denied Mary visitation rights to their son, Wynton. Steve changed his mind months after sending Wynton to college in 2015, and sent him to Florida to strong-arm the teen off campus in the wee hours!

“Steve is under 24/7 armed guard and there is no doubt his heavies would get violent and basically operate as hitmen if someone posed a threat to his life,” a family insider said. “Steve thinks he’s the boss in every walk of life,” a source explained. “He appears to be a lovable funnyman on TV, but off-screen his persona is all business, and not friendly at all. “He knows what it’s like to have nothing, he’s very protective of his fortune and thinks the best way to do that is to destroy anyone foolish enough to cross him!”
