Steve Harvey was married to Mary Lee Harvey for almost 10 years, but things took an unexpected turn for the worst when Steve reportedly cheated on his ex-wife with his current wife, Marjorie. For those who don’t remember, the former couple’s highly publicized divorced was quite nasty and bitter as hell. Although Mary was given three of the couple’s properties and received $40,000 a month until 2009, there were a number of things about the ordeal that the public may not know.

Now, Mary is speaking out about the divorce and the mysterious things that occurred during their divorce proceedings. From her and Steve having the same divorce lawyer, to her sealed divorce documents that she doesn’t even have access to, Mary’s telling it ALL! She’s also opening up about her unfortunately estranged relationship with their son, Wynton.

Fighting A Losing Battle:

For many years, Mary has been silenced and she believes Steve’s money played a major role in the decisions that were made where her divorce was concerned. After the divorce, she was faced with numerous harsh realities. She even admitted she was abandoned by family members and friends and even professional relationships were severed after she was stripped of her ex-husband’s celebrity status. In addition to the broken relationships and financial problems, Mary revealed she’s been ostracized by many people she considered trustworthy.

However, that’s not all. Mary found herself behind bars on a number of occasions. For those who don’t know, she was hit with a child support order that she was unaware of and wasn’t supposed to pay. Then she was faced with numerous restrictions associated with a gag order that prohibited her from talking to individuals about her life if Steve would be mentioned during the discussions.

Their Son, Wynton:

In addition to the ongoing legal problems, Mary also lost custody of their son, Wynton, amid the divorce battle. But things didn’t stop there. In 2013, Mary was arrested for an alleged violation of a court order. As a result of the arrest, Mary spent Christmas of 2013 behind bars and, at the time, her release date was set for Jan. 17, 2014. She became emotional when speaking about losing custody of her son:

“Everyday I wake up, Wynton is on my mind. All day, everyday. I cry throughout the day, because I feel like somebody reached in and pulled Wynton out of me. That’s how I feel, because we were very close.”

During a previous interview with Fox 4, Mary adamantly insisted she did not violate any order. “I didn’t violate any court orders,” said Vaughn. “This is about ‘You’re not supposed to be talking to anybody about your divorce.’ That’s what they’re saying. I’m like, this is America. I was not expecting a four hour long hearing without an attorney,” she said. “Am I angry? Yes,” said Vaughn. “I missed six years of my son’s life and I can’t get those years back. I’m just a mother who wants to have access to my son without interference,” she said. “I’m tired of getting pulled down to McKinney courthouse every time I say ‘Boo.’ I’m not going to be silenced.”

During the most recent discussion about her tumultuous marriage to Steve, she echoed similar sentiments and made it clear she hadn’t broken any laws, but believed her estranged ex-husband had the law in his back pocket. See what else she said about this in the video below…

Hope For Justice:

Although Mary and Steve divorced many years ago, there’s still quite a few things she feels she deserves. Since she was with Steve for 16 years during his rise to fame, she adamantly insists there are benefits from the company they built together that she’s entitled to. From revenue that Steve acquired with the company they built together  to health benefits, Mary wants what’s hers.

Check out what she had to say…she definitely said a mouthful:

If Mary’s side of the story is the truth about what’s been going down between she and Steve, hopefully she’ll receive the justice she deserves.
