Steve Harvey confronts woman who claims he’s the father of her teenage daughter in remastered clip

Steve Harvey may not give you the option to account for each dollar he earns, but he knows exactly what number of children he’s accountable for.

The comedian and his third and current wife, Marjorie Harvey, have a patchwork family of seven. The “Think Like A Man, Act Like A Lady” writer has twin daughters Karla and Brandy and a son named Broderick along with his first wife, Marcia Harvey. The couple divorced in 1994.

Three years later, in 1997, he welcomed a son named Wynton along with his second wife, Mary Shackelford, whom he divorced in 2005. When he married his longtime sweetheart Marjorie in 2007, he adopted her three children, daughters Morgan and Lori and son Jason.

But Steve didn’t know that for years there was a woman who claimed he fathered a toddler with her. The unexpected story of his alleged illegitimate child got here to light during an episode of his former talk show.

During the “Ask Steve” segment, a woman in the audience admitted to the host that she had routinely lied for nearly 20 years about being the absentee father of her daughter. “She took that to heart,” the woman said of her then-17-year-old daughter.

Stunned by her confession, Steve asked her, “Where are you going? Woman, I don’t even know you.” The woman continued, “She looks exactly like you. She looks more like you than her father.” Still, Steve remained adamant that not a single trace of his genetic makeup may very well be found on the girl’s face.

“You can show me a picture. I don’t have kids anymore. I can tell you that right now,” he joked. “And I don’t know you, woman. I’ve never met you before,” he said as a photograph of the teenager appeared on the screen behind him.

Immediately after seeing the photo, the audience burst into laughter when he disagreed that they looked alike. Nevertheless, the woman pressed on, asking, “Can I keep telling people you’re her father?”

With his arms folded, the Original Kings of Comedy comedian decreed, “You can’t keep telling her that, damn it! Tell that girl the truth. Tell her who her real father is. They set me up like, ‘Why doesn’t he ever come?’ Now I’m an ad—n irresponsible father.”

But Steve didn’t finish his response to the absurd claim that sent the audience and the woman into suits of laughter. He continued: “Why are you on the show? That’s what I want to know. Did you think it was a good idea?… I’m not that little daddy!”

Between giggles, the woman encouraged him, saying, “We did good.” “She’s not my baby. She doesn’t really look like me… She looks like you and her dad. That’s who she looks like,” the “Family Feud” host said.

“She tried to turn this episode into Maury’s show!” was the response from viewers when the clip was shared on FacebookSomeone else wrote: “You have money, everyone wants to be related to you.”

The revived clip comes months after former viewer Wendy Davis became the subject of a viral TikTok trend. Davis, who works as a flight attendant, appeared on the show in 2014, when she wore the infamous blue dress and performed her beastly twerk and shimmy moves for Steve during his Q&A segment.

The query that got one million laughs was whether he thought she had what it took to quit her day job and pursue online dancing. His response made it clear she should give attention to earning Sky Miles. In May, Davis revealed that producers had set her up with the crazy query as a possibility to showcase Steve’s comedic skills.

Steve’s role as a father has also come under fire this summer. While sharing photos from his 18th wedding anniversary with Marjorie, fans noticed that his daughters, Karli and Brandi, weren’t included in the family photos. Instead, only Broderick, Wynton, and Lori were present.

However, each women have followed in their father’s footsteps by staying busy and busy. Both are entrepreneurs, and Brandi, in addition to running her businesses, can be a mother to a son.
