As from a confirmed source, she said that Steve was having an extra-marital affair with Marjorie Bridge while he was married to Marry.

After their separation, the child-custody case went long and to get people attention to this case and to get support from the audience, she started uploading videos on YouTube accusing her husband for not being a worthy father and husband.

Being unfaithful and abusive at the same time.

Those statements made Steve angry and he went to court to take the legal action against him.

He stated in the court that all the allegations are false and damaged his media reputation as well to which he was find truthful and the custody of the child was handed over to the father.

Another reason of their divorce was the fact that his husband’s career was on a boom and he no longer can stand in front of him doing petty things and calling names over youtube.

When the settlement took place, the court ordered Marry not to make any public statements about her ex-husband that is defaming him. But she did not refrain from these activities and denied the court orders making videos again against Harvey.

Because of this violation, the court ordered to arrest her for 30 days. After coming out of prison, she made a public statement saying she did not violate any order.

While all of this was happening, Steve married Marjorie in 2007, the same lady we discussed above and started living happily with her. She had three children from her previous marriage which were adopted by Steve and he use to treat them as his own.

He has credited his current wife for supporting him in all these times and making him a better man, husband and a good father. These statements have burnt Marry a lot because they use to live happily in earlier times.

Since Marry’s release from prison she kept quite for long and it was heard that she has married to someone and carrying a surname Vaughn.

One of the last reports that came out in 2016 stating that she was gone to court again to sue her ex-husband for what she called ‘murdering her soul’ and she demanded $60 million, but lost the file.

This clearly shows that she was money-hungry and not making any value additions in both of their lives while they were married.
