Steve Harvey is preparing to host the Miss Universe pageant Sunday night despite botching it in 2015!
And it’s not the only Harvey hell.
The TV host was recently rumored to be splitting from his third wife, as RadarOnline.com has exclusively revealed, but the two have denied it.
However, Harvey has gone through a series of personal and professional problems.
Although he claims to be a relationship expert, Harvey left his first wife for his second, who later sued him for “torture, deprivation and brainwashing.”
Harvey cozied up to Kris Jenner, and RadarOnline.com learned that he was unloading four Texas homes in a possible divorce war with third wife Marjorie.
Still, earlier this year, Harvey joked with Marjorie when confronted with the breakup rumor, “You leaving me?”
The Family Feud star has made embarrassing TV blunders, getting involved in a racist Asian controversy and announcing the wrong winner of the Miss Universe pageant!

Fans were shocked when Harvey stood by disgraced friend Bill Cosby.
Harvey has been struggling to support a lavish lifestyle, RadarOnline.com sources say, and he’s owed money to the IRS in the past.

A source told RadarOnline.com that Harvey’s wife Marjorie is angry about his closeness to Kris Jenner. The famed momager has been friends with Harvey for years and it’s escalated into endless phone chats and nonstop text messages that have sent Marjorie reeling. “There’s no way she was going to put up with Steve hanging around a man-eater like Kris — especially since he’s proven time and again he can’t be trusted,” an insider said of the marriage trouble.

The entertainer and Mary went through a nasty divorce in Texas in 2005 — two years before he married his current wife, Marjorie. RadarOnline.com discovered in legal docs that Harvey allegedly amassed a crack team of fixers when his marriage to Mary went sour. The legal papers accused the Family Feud favorite of hiding assets and his true worth during the exhausting divorce process.

Mary filed a $60 million lawsuit against Harvey on May 17, 2017, accusing him of “soul murdering” through a combination of “torture, deprivation and brainwashing.” Mary claimed in her legal docs that she had attempted suicide by self-medicating in order to stop her pain and sought damages from her ex Harvey. Los Angeles judge Gregory Keosian tossed the case because he said it should be handled by a judge in Texas, where the divorce took place.
Major Mishap

The low point of Harvey’s hosting life happened in December 2015 when he announced the wrong winner during the Miss Universe pageant telecast. After mistakenly naming Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo as the winner, he quickly took the stage again to reveal he’d misread the ballot card. The real winner was actually Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurzbach. Harvey apologized.
Racism Scandal

In January 2017, Harvey got into hot water with the Asian community after a talk show segment. Harvey made fun of the book How to Date a White Woman: A Practical Guide for Asian Men. “You like Asian men?…I don’t even like Chinese food, boy,” Harvey joked to the audience. “It don’t stay with you no time. I don’t eat what I can’t pronounce.” After internet infamy, Harvey apologized.
Friendship Cos

Viewers were stunned when Harvey defended friend Bill Cosby in 2015 after at least 60 women accused the famed comedian of sexual assault. “When I’m your friend, I’m your friend,” Harvey shrugged. “And Bill Cosby helped my sons at Morehouse College, and he taught me how to do this business.”
Clocked By Clarkson
