Comedian's ex-wife alleges abandonment and abuse

Steve Harvey may be recognized to the world as the toothy, sense-talking comedian who loves the Lord, but according to his ex-wife, Mary Lee Harvey, he's a neglectful father and abuser.

According to a recent Smoking Gun report, Harvey is suing her famous ex for "Steve Harvey's adultery, his abandonment of some of his children, his poor and neglectful parenting of the parties' child, and physical and mental abuse of Plaintiff."

She further alleged that she was conned into a speedy divorce by Harvey and the former couple's attorney, Ricky Anderson, in order to protect Harvey's "Good Shepherd" image, and undermine his alleged abuse.

In a complaint, Mary Harvey claims to have been told by Anderson that she could not legally receive $1000 in monthly child support for their youngest son Wynton.

She is now charging Anderson with breach of contract, professional negligence, and conspiracy.

Steve and Mary Harvey officially divorced in December 2005. The couple were together for nearly ten years. He reportedly remarried his longtime friend Marjorie Bridges in June 2007.
