Comedian and best-selling author, Steve Harvey, has found himself in a controversial bind when Mary Harvey, ex-wife, posted a series of three YouTube videos totaling in 25 minutes last weekend. In her videos she claims he was unfaithful during their 17-year-marriage, took her wealth, took custody of their thirteen-year-old son, Wynton, and includes excerpts of letters and e-mails she said she intercepted between Harvey and his current wife, Marjorie.

More than five-years after their divorce, Mary blasts former husband and lands a CNN interview with Jane Velez-Mitchell about the “tell-all” videos she posted about her ex-husband.

In response, a statement from Steve Harvey’s attorney, Bobbie Edmonds, states:

“We are appalled and aware of the videos and other fabricated documents … which contained false, misleading, derogatory, disparaging, malicious, explicit and slanderous information about Mr. Harvey, his current wife and others.”

The statement adds: “The ex-wife is fully aware of the court’s current orders and permanent injunctions which prohibit either party, their lawyers or representatives from discussing and releasing information on the Internet and to the media. We are taking the necessary legal steps to rectify this matter to the full extent of the law and we will be seeking contempt and sanctions against her for such reprehensible and callous disregard for the court orders.”

Steve Harvey is now set to appear in court next month to ask a Texas judge to forbid his ex-wife from speaking of the break up of their marriage and the bitter child custody fight that followed, Harvey’s lawyer said Thursday.

Harvey, who married Marjorie Bridges in 2007, briefly addressed the issue on his syndicated talk show Monday.

“I know the truth,” said Harvey. “I don’t care what you say about me, but my wife and kids are off limits.”

Sources close to the Steve Harvey camp revealed that he will be interviewing with CNN’s Anderson Cooper to “tell his side of the story” in regards to the explosive drama.
