Picture 7

It was recently announced that Steve Harvey would be joining the Essence Magazine team as a featured columnist, giving advice on relationships.

Now, as much as we love the funny man on stage, we’re not sure his jokes are going to translate as well on paper – especially if people are writing in about sensitive and personal matters. But then again, if Harvey takes the job too seriously, offering up wisdom and foresight as best he can, should those seeking the advice even take heed? After all, he’s the one that’s been married three times. (So while it’s obvious that he has a lot of experience, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s any more logical in decision-making than the rest of us.)

We know that having multiple marriages are no reason to outcast anyone from interacting with the public, but we’re just not so sure this is his forte.

Of course, we can’t ignore the fact that his literary debut, “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man,” spent most of 2009 atop the New York Times best seller’s list, as well as the fact that since the book skyrocketed to #1 last February, he’s become a correspondent for “Good Morning America,” and has ironed out plans to create a movie adaptation of the book.

But is that success the result of marketing masterminds and a good PR team, or is his work truly valued?

And just to play Devil’s Advocate, is there a double standard? Would you want to hear Jennifer Lopez, a three-time wife, dish out relationship advice, as well?

    I would like to hear advice from a man or woman who successfully held down a relationship with the same person.Like being married for 15,25,35 plus years to the same person.not to say steve cant give advice but for me,I personally dont want to hear from a person thats been married 3 times trying to give me advice on relationships and marriage.Because if you’ve been married 3 times,you still havent figured it out yourself.Thats like asking Elizabeth Taylor for marriage advice..lmao.good grief.no thanks,I would ask people who been married a very long time like Ruby Dee who was married to Ozzie until he passed,or my parents.Not steve..Sheesh…or, just ask elders,old people who are still married how they lasted through the good and bad..

    Steve Harvey has no more or less right to be a “love columnist” or expert than some of the writers for HB.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Candyboxxx/ Candyboxxx

    CourtneyR, true that.

    His book “Think like a man, Act like a lady” (or whatever the title was) had some good points (I did not read it all, just excerpts). However, how do you give advice on staying married for 30, 40, 50+ years if you haven’t done it yourself? Until I read this HB article, I was not aware that he was married three times. To me, he loses a bit credibility. I wonder how long he was married to each wife and under what conditions he got a divorce from each of them.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrNew704/ MrNew704

    I have always said how can someone who cannot maintain a relationship give advice about
    relationships. Obviously, he doesn’t know how to be in a relationship for the long term. I have
    never been married so I would never try to tell a married person how to maintain a relationship at
    it’s highest level. Maybe he can advise everyone on how to survive divorce…LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/piccolo19/ piccolo19

    i think he is full of crap

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1shaund/ 1shaund

    I agree with piccolo19
    Steve is a huge hypocrite.
    I notice his changes threw the years.
    He can’t tell me a damn thing about staying together.
    He “can” help a brother out by telling everyone how to keep all of your money in a divorce. lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lucky_Jester777/ Lucky_Jester777

    … you know what comes to mind here?
    the irony of it all… maybe it is having a good PR team. (laughing in my head) Does anyone remember Karrine Stephanes and her 2nd book about keeping a man, staying married or something like that?… Steve’s success story kind of comes across in similar ways with the exception that Steve has a cleaner reputation.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Latricesquirtsalot/ Latricesquirtsalot

    you heard how he did one of his wives by giving her only $1000 a month after all those years of being married, may be NAS shoulda had taken his advice or at least had the same lawyer

    Karmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is always waitingggggggg! So Mase must realise that life has got its own accountantt. U cannot pimp God-The Creator/The forces and get away with it……………….. U know1 Before chis Brown had his beef with Rihanna. She said she would never pose nude because of her mother/all te other goody goody girl jazz.

    Today, she is realy the so called good irl gone bad. She was never a good girllllllll. she now say she can see herself in a lesbian relationship? Rihanna were u not ever so pretending to be ms nice girl?? Ok i am a lesbian, but yo, we talking abour Rihanna, the former Ms Chris brown. Now she nude on GQ mag! I sure would love to get the chance to introduse intense lesbian’ism to Rihanna!Check youtube for the Rihanna Shakee video. http://www.youtube.com/bsharpp2

    Yup, i would trun-covert her ass into a str8 lesbian so she cannot go back. Yes, because she making fools out of lesbians. Yes she think its an in/out lifestyle? Ok, i like Amber Rose, because she is not afraid to say openly i am kinky/freaky B***h and i am a no preference (bi-sexual) woman. Not a Lil Wayne fan. However give him credit for selling records to fools, plus being able to turn Lauren London into 09 biggest female jump off. Silly B***h.

    Check out the Rihanna Shakee (lesbian vibes) video on youtube. Many people knew Rihanna was either bi-sexual or bi-curious before Chris Brown put the rough edge on her. I think apart from chris Brown went too far. Rihanna love the kinky/frealy rough loving, and she and Chris have done it in a rough/kinky manner over/over. Chris, u did wrong, but you are still young and time is the master. Rihanna, i sure hope u told the truth? Because in the end if irs not? It will spill out.

    I have listened to men from all walks of life, all ages…some have been married for several years, some have never been married…the insight that they have shared with me is valuable. That said, I take the information for what it is worth: something that is coming from a man based on what he’s done in his life, where he is.

    I read a few things about Steve Harvey after one poster mentioned that he was married three times; he was married to his 2nd wife for 17 years. In his defense, 17 years is a pretty good stretch. I do not know what the relationship was truly like because no matter what (s)he says, there will always be three sides to the story; his, hers, and the truth.

    I am sure he is speaking from hard lessons learned. Still, it is good to question a person who doles out advice like this because he may be stuck in making the same mistakes with wife #3 and then what will he write about then?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Candyboxxx/ Candyboxxx

    Um, MsSubmissive-Capable, I think you meant to post your message on the board about Rihanna…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/godsent504made/ godsent504made

    I wouldn listen fa da simple fact he knows nuffin about me ..for tha most part of my life I’ve been pretty well grounded and besides if my 1st marriage doesn’t work out mayb dat part wasn’t written when my excerpt was wrote by my father den anotha thing I don’t know why people ova 30 believe dat if sum1 doesn’t want to marry dem as soon as dey want to that they’re not right for em(so afta a certain age u skip the “get to know one anotha” and “boyfriend/girlfriend” part)…wtf since when did u put a time limit on love if its meant its gone happen if not well hey it is wat it is find a hobby r sumin den on top dat 2 middle aged people stuck in their ways tryna 2 mesh is a recipe fa failure n e ways(if both parties aren’t up for adjusting to one anotha). Its all fine n dandy 2 b married for a long time but I coulda swore it waz “till death do we part”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/crlbrazil/ crlbrazil

    Well, in Steve’s defense, he is speaking from experience and with that comes, what? Opinions. His. Besides that’s how many people(authors) have become famous. Why we get a kick out of reading about someone else’s life, beats me, but what I can “amen” to, and that’s the “fact” that most of the scenerios that Steve is giving in his book, I’m sure all of you have either encountered or know someone who has. So, in that case, if you’re reading something and it’s hitting home, why not learn from someone that has been thru it. I’m not saying when you meet someone, you should make them wait 90 days. I don’t agree with that myself, because hell, I don’t want to wait 90 days. Lol. I know you ask why we got to make them wait that long anyway. Well, I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “why buy the cow, when u can get the milk for free”. Well, just make sure these men have good intentions.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Amilkar/ Amilkar

    Steve Harvey is a damn-good comedian and makes my gut hurt with some of his antics, especially on his morning show. As for his marriage advice, maybe he’s not an expert. Then again, when you look at the fact that he’s been married more than once, maybe he is. I honestly think that he wants to share his personal experiences and gained knowledge with all of us. Regardless of what you think, his advice is in high demand. Book sales are very good; there are constant calls to his morning show; and most people first read, then criticize him for making an effort to help couples who are constantly going in circles and are hopelessly connected. Good advice, regardless of its origin, is just good advice. Generally, it is a great thing to see a loving, troubled couple find a strengthening, refreshed renewal in their commitment to each other.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Fly098/ Fly098

    Steve needs to sit his butt down somewhere and get some “GODLY” advice himself. Now enough is enough. I’ve read a few of the comments defending him on “THIS” issue but it’s just not logical from any viewpoint. Some have said, “Well, he’s speaking from experience”. I agree he will be speaking from experience HAVING GONE THROUGH 3 HIMSELF. When he’s able to keep one then he should be giving advice. That’s like you all going to a crackhead asking them how to stay off drugs, or going going to a liar asking them how to tell the truth, or asking R. Kelly how to approach a 30 year old woman, or dentist how to do a heart surgery. I think you all get my point. Don’t ask advice from someone that is as screwed up as you is what I’m saying. These people that are asking for advice will want to know how to STAY married, not how to find a partner after they divorce. If they want to know how to find another partner after a divorce, ask Steve. I’ll give the man credit. His wives are fire (Especially the last one)! When are we going to stop looking at stars for leardership and advice and start getting it from people that are spiritually mature in God’s Word? Just because you see a person tv, hear them on the radio, or because they play a sport, doesn’t mean they have their stuff together. Let’s go back to believing God’s Word and looking to God for the answers.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xbox360ya/ xbox360ya

    I thought He was a Man of GOD?? Married THREE Times, come on Steve You should know better then that. When You married a Lady that marred is 4 LIFE. If You or Her Divorce 1 another, You cant remarried again cause the Bible call that Adultery. Read the Book of Matthew in the Bible and You shall see buddy.
    I dont have anything against Steve but the whole I married a woman, I Divorce Her and on to the next One and tries to teach or even talk about the word of GOD, it just doesnt FIT THE BILL. People that act like that are givin True Believers and Followers of Christ a bad name cause these People are not True Christians, well they only act like they are and they do watteva they wana do and they give Christianity a BAD NAME. I know We all make mistakes in Life and We’re nott Prefect, shott I make Mistakes sumtime too, but I dont keep wanttin to Live in this Sinful Mistakes nor Go lookin 4 them neither. Steve just choose Your Stand man, are You in witt US Christians or Nott??.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/UnrestricKtedDreamz/ UnrestricKtedDreamz

    after three marriages…why wouldn’t he know a little something now? One would hope he was learning through all the trials and errors…which he says all the time on his morning show. He’s never claimed that he was perfect and constantly admits to his “transgressions” but uses them to try to educate women on how and why men do the things they do which is believeable considering he was a man that did those things.

    Not so sure why everyone wants to bash the man for changing his life to become a better person and help educate other along the way of the right way to do things so they don’t follow the path he did.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/manofsteel35/ manofsteel35

    Short answer…No! If people would look to GOD’s word instead o man’s…everything would be so much better!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MoneyMakerWes/ MoneyMakerWes

    I think Steve does nothing but talk down on black men and uplift the black women. He always sound like everything is the black man fault. With that being said, f-no I would take heed to his advise. But I bet the black women is loving the crap comin out his mouth…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rastadude7/ rastadude7

    Yeah…Steve should be allowed to be a love columnist – hire HIM and his last three wives togeather and they could just give BAD advice to Everybody dumb enough to listen!
    If you need help in screwing YOUR relationship up…Listen to everybody’s advice and DON’T take any responsibiity for yourself or your actions!
    MAKE SURE NOT to try and change the things about yourself that didn’t work BEFORE in past relationships and go on out there and tell people just how they should – and just how they shouldn’t… you know it has been said that those who can—DO! and those who can ‘t—TEACH!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/REDBOY703/ REDBOY703

    The real question is should YOU get to write these BS stories yall put up here everyday downing black folks that are doing good. You don’t know anything about his 3 relationships and u don’t know how they ended so don’t judge people.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrsCeeMae/ MrsCeeMae

    Absolutely…
    What other person would be suitable to talk so much about the subject. He has enought experience and don’t forget in order to get a PhD you must write. He has done his dissertation. Man have read his book and found the information useful. I did and I did enjoy some of it as well. He has one and is about to write another on the sunject. He IS an authority. Maybe not for all marriages but certainly he can counsel some.
    You go Steve…..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrsCeeMae/ MrsCeeMae

    If Roy Rogers told some of you he invented a horse LuvOvaHere would you say he was working for corporateAmerica? Who else ? Why can’t Harvey work?

    You guys are sleep to what to say next and all I hear is put downs. When do you lift folks up? Only in church and only sometimes then….

    Steve is a journey man. Actor, Movie and T.v. personality, Comedian, Radio show host, 125th street Apollo stage personality, Writer, Husband, Father
    Alimony donations, responsible person and still he ain’t good enough….
    Y’all haters! I guess he’ll have to die first, go to hell and then come back for some of you.

    I think he has been around for a while and with 3 marriages it HAS to be possible to know a thing-or-two about relationships. Point blank and thats with anybody. Just because he’s been married 3 times dont mean he doesnt know anything. Whether Steve Harvey, you, me or anybody.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ladyd121/ Ladyd121

    I don’t like Steve I used to listen to his morning show but alot of what I was hearing I didn’t think was funny.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chocolahtV/ chocolahtV

    I think Steve’s comedy is funny, but I’m getting sick of his all of a sudden “ALL-Knowing, Master of Relationship status”. I have never understood how folk become “authorities” on certain subjects…like the comment below about the super nanny-she doesn’t have any kids of her own…how can she be such a authority on raising them? (I’ve never seen any Black families on the Super Nanny show…White families don’t seem to have any control over their children-lol) That’s what Steve ought to do for us…teach some of us how to raise our children…lol-since he’s the master of life now.
    I’m proud of Steve, for getting his hustle on. White folk write books everyday that become best sellers, so Steve may as well get a piece of pot as well. Its sad that so many people need to turn to the advice of someone like Steve-as opposed to using common sense. I’m sure his “advice” may help somebody. Anybody can give advice, it’s up to us to take it or leave it. Obviously, Steve has a following..for some reason. It seems that we want so badly to have Blacks with PhD status that we will jump on the band wagon of any star that has anything to say…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CFClark58/ CFClark58

    I think it’s a beautiful thing! I really don’t have the time to listen to his show in the morning, but when my cable was out for several days, I turned on the Steve Harvey Show. I loved his morning 6:00 am message. He definitely gives “food for thought.” Now I make time to hear his morning message. It doesn’t bother me that he has been married 3 times, he has learned many lessons, and with age comes wisdom. In my 60 years of life I have learned that “you can’t dislike someone unless it shows a reflection of something you dislike about yourself.” God has truly blessed Mr. Harvey and his family. My 3 daughters loved his book and I’m going to purchase the book and read it too. Keep on keeping Mr. Harvey and with the God in your life he will only take you higher. People make choices;to love and embrace or hate.

    It’s a popularity thang…guess Essence got rid of Finesse so they could hire Steve. I’m not mad at Steve for getting his hustle on, but I doubt highly that he’s a relationship expert. I’m sure he could give out a few tips or best practices….anyway, people are always looking for someone to “tell” them what to do and seeking the easy way out vs. doing what they “know” they’re supposed to do.
    If you ask me….Steve will need the extra money in order to keep his new, young wife “interested” and “happy”. He’s getting older (see how high his pants are pulled up in pic #4) and he’ll have to use his money to stay in the game…..good grief people.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2good2bsingle/ 2good2bsingle

    Phuck Steve Harvey and his ‘Hating’ @$$!! Although he calls himself a ‘Christian’, he said on Larry King Live that he “Hates Atheists”! The fact that we do not believe in ‘Gods’, ‘Mother Goose’, Unicorns, Fairies, Santa Claus or other Fairy Tales is NO reason to ‘Hate’ us or anyone else. We Atheists don’t ‘Hate’ anybody because of their Religious beliefs (or lack thereof). But we DO hate it when people lash out at us for the fact that we have the tendency to be a little more ‘Realistic’ about such nonsense. At least WE Atheists DON’T go around claiming to be ONE THING (a loving, kind ‘Christian’) but act the total opposite (a Douche-Bag). lol ;-)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/getmygrownmanon1/ getmygrownmanon1

    I read a little of his book, and he may have some wisdom, but I have to question how much does he really have to offer about relationships if he’s been divorced twice. I question what happend in his other marriages, how and why did they end? I like him, never heard his morning show, so I don’t really know about the male bashing, if that is true, that’s foul. I would like to hear from someone that has been succesful in marriage and stayed together like others have posted.

    Well here I go with my two cents…. Am I the only one who is sick and damn tired of everything being about race, white people this, black people that, why black people don’t do this, if he was white that. Give me a G.D. BREAK!!! If “WE” would put more effort in helping “EACH OTHER” and uplifting “EACH OTHER”, maybe we wouldn’t have all these dang problems. I’m sorry black folks, but we do dumb shyt too. We are humans. Just cause we have darker shades of skin don’t make us too far removed from doing dumb shyt, or thinking dumb shyt, or saying dumb shyt. Ugh….I know there is racism in the world still, I’m not a fool, but do you think we might add to that shyt a little bit? We are always bringing up race. Even if it’s someone Non-black doing something, we find a way to throw race in it (” see black folks don’t do shyt like that”). THATS IT…I’M MOVING TO CANADA!

    I think steve is going to be perfect for this job for the fact he has gone thru it 3 times. He can give brothas a lot of insight into the mids of women and how they think and why they do the b.s. that they do, he can also give brothas game on how to pick guy chicks, where to pick up chicks and how to dump they ass when done. Steve living by the 3Fs – Find’em Fuk’em Forget’em – im happy for u Steve, keep killin’em, make that loot and keep’em comin thru like grand central station. dont forget to keep those condoms and ready handy. u dont wanna get burned or get one pregnant.. that be the worst thing to happen

    WOOOWWW i’m reading post here and see fools ranking on him, callin him a douche bag etc. all cause he been married 3 times? get off it folks. im sure most of the people to post here have been thru many many more relationships than he has, and if so so what. whats the big deal? them women just were not right for him and he moved on, thats the real thing to do. I guess fools expect him to stay miserable. good for u Stever for not letting urself get locked into marriages that did not work for u. maybe now you’ll see that u meant to be a playboy….u got real real bread bruh, you dont need to be married..thats a move for poor people

    He makes common sense points for women who have lost their way in love. Sometimes its just nice to hear an HONEST man’s point of view. It is his point of view, but man nonetheless. I enjoyed his book. There are some things I “learned” from it. There are some things I’d rather put in God’s hands to make happen for me. All and all, its just Steve being as honest as he knows how to be, making some money, and being somewhat helpful. Take it or leave it.

    Hopeless women and those who have been scorned will search for answers ANYWHERE….even from a damn COMEDIAN who’s failed THREE TIMES at the same s**t he tries to preach to you. I think if you get broke enough, most of ya’ll would let a street bum tell you how to make a million dollars.

    A friend of mine suggested I “borrow her book”. She SWORE by that Steve Harvey s**t. So I read it with an open mind and I wasn’t impressed. Everyone speaks about these “good points” he made. Good points, to me, are things you didn’t know. Something you learned. Everything I read was COMMON SENSE s**t that I had been telling females for years. I just find it weird that when females call me for advice about a man, and I give it, they brush it off…like a MAN doesn’t know how MEN think. But they never take me serious until one of two things happens….or both. One, the dude dogs the s**t out of them and everything I said he would do, he does. OR, a celebrity, like Steve Harvey, says the same s**t. I don’t know why people seem to think that because these people are in the spotlight, that they’re above flaw.

    So yeah…continue on ladies. Keep paying for books written by people who have no clue what the f**k they’re talking about. S**t, I’m an Engineer, but I’m gonna write a book about “how to succeed in your marriage”…some s**t I’ve NEVER experienced, I’ll let ya’ll know when it’s available. I’m sure i’ll make millions off ya’lls gullible asses.

    Question, I do not understand how a man who has been married 3 times can tell anyone, about a relationship. I am just saying. I cannot stand him at all. And that Strawberry Letter, hot mess of an advice column, to me is catered towards, people who have low self esteem.

    We women already know the answers to live and loves trials and tribulations, they just need an idiot person like Steve to reiterate, what they’ve already known.

    LOOK LETS TELL IT LIKE IT MUTHFUKING IS: YES BLUNT.
    if you let someone cheat on you then thats your damn problem. Yes, because the signs are there then is OPEN YOUR EYES. if you have a feeling then sometimes its true.
    if you cant keep the first wife /husband happy you have issues to solve and so do they. PEOPLE need to wake up and try JESUS. Did you ever wonder about the time people waste trying to please each other never give GOD that much glory. If you met them wearing a potato sack let them find there way out of it. You do give no more than what you are getting. AND 50/50 is always best in everything you do in a relationship. SECRETS AND LIES people tell each other. TELL the damn truth. NO mr. harvey shouldnt be saying nothing about relationships but he he can tell you how to f**k up one and keep it moving.

    I used to like him when he played the role of the teacher, that’s it.His arrogance oozes out of his pores.Right now he’s in no position to dictate to anyone how to live their lives until he’s married enough times and finally discovers he’s at fault,corrects it then he can blurt out his mess,if he lives long enough.I hope he doesn’t break the wrong sistas heart,book won’t help him then.

    Not No But Hell No steve harvey is a Black male being glorified For the Fact that he has Two failed marriages and he is LOw .But what make me sick most is how saintified and All about Jesus when he Blantly do not know what God law is with Marriage. Is so sad that he has books, face of gospel shows now his own show But where are the real leaders at A man with a MInd and Heart This is not what women want to Turn to a man who has Spurned More than One women as he say His Blended Family ALL Bulls**t Steve Harvey you had the nerve to tell chilli she want to dammn much . No it should have went chilli don’t want a man LIke Me,, So sad that people even by into his Crap that why Lady O did not Give his as a Show SHe did her Homwork.And how could you be Mad at his second Wife DID steve tell you how he set her up with his friend and Attorney What steve did was trade to upgrade . See my Granny told me that when he smile you can see the real Jackass with those teeth, Such a Deciever…

    Like any advice, you take it with a grain of salt. We are all flawed individuals but we turn to friends and/or family members who are also flawed to seek advice. That is really no different then soliciting advice from Steve Harvey.

    He’s as qualified as the next person. His book on relationships is a really good read. I like that Steve is maturing as an entertainer, venturing out into broader territory. He’s always struck me as one of the few older Black male entertainers who isn’t trying to be 21. He embraces the “grown folks” philosophy and I appreciate that.

    We NEED to hear from men on relationships. We NEED to give them a voice. After all, turn on the radio at any given time and you’ll hear Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Trey Songz, and all of the other knuckleheads giving bad “relationship” advice via their medium, music. If Steve feels that he has something to contribute to the relationship topic, let him speak!

    Steve Harvey is full of sh_t and has been!

    I’ll take Hell No for $300 Alex!! He would do better writing a book on how to get a divorce..several times.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/RodPierre/ RodPierre

    He is an intelligent man. The number of relationships that anyone has been in doesn’t make them more or less credible as sources of information. Each relationship is different, each blend of personalities is different so the experience alone is not the factor. What we take from it and how we make our decisions is what is important. I read his book and whether it’s common sense or whether there was something to learn will depend on the individual. What I DO think is that it’s not just what you learn about the opposite sex but what you learn about YOURSELF also that is important. Getting married three times indicates a lack of knowledge of yourself (how YOU get along with others),problems with self control/self image, inability to change, or inability to make informed choices(all important for a love “Guru”, his personal life aside). The book is not bad but like a bro’ further down the page mentioned, for some bros(but then what bros would READ the book except for those on the same page anyway)it was would should have been common knowledge. As an author fine; as an authority on relationships, I would have to say no.

    Celebrities sometimes get away with a lot because they appeal to a large audience and some of that audience may like the celebrity for things they show a normal response to…even if that response is not “universal”. I’ve always liked Steve Harvey as a comedienne, but I knew something was going to go wrong when he tried to paint the picture…of a righteous man. Let’s face it…how could that be possible in the field of work he started in with a reputation for being a player/dog. Now come on. It’s not happening…it worked for a while because the media can make a drug addict look like a hero. We’re all human…but let’s not forget…you can’t change yourself into who you want to be…or need to be for the money..as past deeds will always follow you. His is just starting to surface.
    Steve has had a good run, I never bought his book because its like he was transitioning from being the player…to being the ladies outlet. Wrong move…he should have stayed with his original persona and then he wouldn’t look so bad with his “new problem”. When that money started coming…”selfishness kicked in” and then it was all about him. Hey…I’m a man…not perfect…but I know Steve has done a lot more than I would ever do. He’s a good comedienne, but the can of worms that is now opening…was always on the shelf…”waiting to be cooked”. So now he doesn’t like the smell, but the trail is his. Would I take his advice? Depends on how it would sound…if it sounds like it has church music coming from him…I’d have to think it over. Does he have advice on the radio I agree with ? Sometimes….absolutely NOT! It’s a situation…his trail is on it…and there is nothing like a woman when you set her off to reveal all things to hurt you…when you have indeed hurt her. I pray for both of them, the situation is what it is.

    I say Hell no, also, how are you going to tell me about how to get a cheating man like you steve? Keep your day job. Leave the writing to real! proffessionals. This is a bunch OF MESS, FIRST YOU WERE ON TBN crying about your life, then you want to sue your ex. because she putting you on blast, well she just letting the world know the real steve harvey. I thought you was cool until I found out you married some one else. once a cheater always a cheater. Once a man twice a child. is what my granma use to say.

    I think Steve Harvey does a great job with the advice he gives. The man has never said he was an expert on this topic. His books are excellent. It is unfortunate what is happening between Steve and his ex wife Mary. I will pray for them. I wish Steve Harvey continued success !!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cookie360/ cookie360

    I say Hell to the No! He can’t tell me s**t! He is a liar and a cheater and that front he is putting up is not fooling me one bit! He is running around here with his so called christian wife who he was committing adultery with while he was married to the last wife! Please, Essence can keep that crap!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rnblee/ rnblee

    Well… I say yes and no!!!! who better to know thw whys and wherefores that someone that has been involved in various scenarios. on the face of things how dare he give advice, but then again… Who would know how to navigate the terrain that a seasoned vet!!! its not a perfect scenario, but it makes sense. as a bloke you know when a man is triffling, and if you use this knowledge to help others then more power to you and trhem. But… Those in glass houses…………………..

    Steve Harvey shouldn’t be advising anyone on relationships until he gets his own house is order. He has too much public drama to be anyones advisor! He’s a bad rep. He has no degree in the area of counseling on relationships and having had some revelatory vision since marrying his current wife,doesn’t give him a green light to help anyone! (just sayn)

    Mary never had a chance in court either. Steve’s lawyer was Mary’s lawyer. She trusted the lawyer and the lawyer sided with Steve. She is a woman scorned BUT she has good reason to be. All the while Mary and Steve have had this fight going on. His current wife might have the man, but the man needs to be open and honest with himself when he looks in the mirror. So many ppl cover up for Steve b//c they are either a friend or on is payroll. What’s done in the dark will come out in the light. Mary reveals the dark side. Steve and his crew are trying to keep that from being exposed.
