There isn’t much information about her family except for the stuff she dropped during a 2017 interview, which was posted on YouTube.
Education
Mary was said to have gone to Delhi High School, but it was unclear if she enrolled.
Private life
Her marriage to Steve Harvey
In 1989, Steve went to Arlington, Texas to work as a stand-up comedian when he met Mary, who was working as a makeup artist at a cosmetics store at the time. Obviously, there was an instant attraction between the two and they started dating. It was reported that they got married after dating for less than a year. However, Mary said in a 2011 interview that they lived together for six years before getting married in 1996.
She was Steve’s second wife. Mary gave birth to their child, Wynton, in July 1997. She already had a son named Steven, who was probably four or five years old, when Steve came into her life.
She was with Steve when he was still struggling and was a great comfort when he mourned the loss of his loved ones, including his parents and his best friend and manager. The couple traveled extensively together. Mary worked as president of the companies they owned, particularly Wonder Love, Inc. and Harvey House Entertainment. They funded computers and school supplies for underprivileged students in California through the Steve & Mary L. Harvey Foundation which they started in 1994. Mary was a role model for teens at that time, so she had l used to visit schools.
The messy divorce, its history
“Messy” is the word for more than one reason — things were apparently fine in their marriage at first, but Steve was reportedly unfaithful to her for most of their married life. In 2005, Mary finally filed for divorce in Texas. Four years later, she said she was given 30 days notice to vacate the house that would have been assigned to her after the divorce. It was also only in 2009 when she started receiving $40,000 a month, but that stopped after ten payments, bringing the total to $400,000. Mary sold Steve her share of the ranch they owned for $1.5 million, which she claimed was less than the market value of the property.
This was all contrary to what the court documents say – that after the divorce she received $40,000 a month until March 2009 and a lump sum of $1.5 million thereafter, and she also received three houses in the property settlement.
His former assistant of two years said that in 2008 Mary asked her to put her son on a plane and only told Steve 30 minutes before the plane landed. However, Mary said she didn’t give Wynton away, it was just a regular thing – sending their son to hang out with his dad. She didn’t think her son wouldn’t come back, but she lost custody of her son.
Mary’s revealing YouTube videos
Mary caused a stir by uploading three YouTube videos in 2011, in which she accused Steve of repeatedly breaking their marriage vows, including cheating on her with Marjorie, who is now Steve’s wife.
Her ex-husband also allegedly left her broke and turned their son against her. She was later interviewed on TV to talk about it, which Steve said was all lies and the court documents proved it. Once, she says, she got a call saying there was a warrant for her arrest, so she went to the courthouse to inquire, as she didn’t want to be arrested. and handcuffed while he was away. Mary learned that the warrant was to not pay child support, which she was not legally required to do; she remained this weekend in prison. Before she could post bail, she was arrested for breaching the terms of the gag order, which was part of the divorce settlement, and was behind bars for 30 days over the Christmas/New Year holidays in 2013 – she was released in January 2014, which coincidentally was Steve’s birthday.
In 2017, twelve years after the divorce, she sued Steve Harvey for $60 million for “killing her soul,” which results in severe mental pain and emotional distress. The lawsuit included kidnapping, child endangerment, and more. A court document showed Mary even attempted suicide to stop the pain and mental anguish. She lost that lawsuit, but what’s interesting is that she didn’t have a lawyer with her when she filed the lawsuit, but was accompanied by Essie Berry, a civil rights activist.
Another series of videos were uploaded to YouTube in 2017, with Mary talking about wanting justice for what happened to her. She said she wasn’t bitter or vindictive, but just wanted what was right, what was her due – and those were “the benefits of the business they built and worked hard for. “.
She said she wouldn’t stop talking about it because it would be like giving Steve, Marjorie and the others a free pass for what they did to her. She just prayed that her relationship with her son would survive it all. She is believed to have remarried and is now either Mary Woolridge or Vaughn, and lives in Plano, Texas.

He also had his own sitcom, “The Steve Harvey Show” from 1996 to 2002. Harvey was then part of “The Kings of Comedy”, which was the highest-grossing comedy tour in the United States in 1999, grossing over $19 million, and went on to had his own morning. radio show in 2005.
Harvey became something of a relationship guru when he wrote about relationships in a book, “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” in 2009, which became a bestseller. It was followed by another hit, “Straight Talk, No Chaser” in 2010.
