Steve Harveywon’t stand for any negatives about wifeMarjorie Harvey.

“Y’allquit talkingabout ‘she was in my other marriage and ruined it,’” said the entertainer, 66, on hisSteve Harvey FMradio show, “She didn’t. She was nowhere around that. I got divorced in 2005.”

Harvey also made it clear Marjorie didn’t marry him for his success.

“Steve Harvey had nothing [then],” he said. “I’m telling you this woman got in the hole and built this with me. She didn’t steal nothing. And I’m tired of y’all talking about my girl, because my girl is one of the best women I’ve ever met.”

The rumors have impacted Harvey’s relationship — for the better. “We’re a tighter two hand circle now. So thank you for doing that,” he said. “You’re not gonna split us up, we’re not going anywhere, and she is none of what you say she is and she’s the best chick I know.”
