Marjorie Harvey’s Rumored Past Comes Back to Bite Her When She Steps In to Defend Daughter Lori

Lori Harvey’s rumored relationship with Trey Songz has apparently led a commenter to slide into her Instagram comments and call her a name. But the model’s mother, Marjorie Harvey was not having it. She clapped back and then the real virtual tussle ensued.

The 21-year-old eagerly shared her excitement over her upcoming birthday on Instagram Jan. 2 writing, “Capricorn Seasonnn 🐐.”

Several fans shared Lori’s eagerness. “ITS THAT SEASON 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣,” “Birthday month!,” “Yass 👏🏾it👏🏾is‼️♑️ 🐐.”

But then, one asked, “They say she’s a hoe 😫 is it true?”

Mama Harvey hit back saying, “this is my daughter…..not your mother 💅🏽”

Several applauded Marjorie for standing up for her daughter, who has reportedly been dating Songz for nearly a year despite announcing her engagement to Dutch soccer star Memphis Depay in June 2017.

“Tell em Ma @marjorie_harvey 🙌🏾”

“@marjorie_harvey 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽..U did a MARVELOUS job..But when your BEAUTIFUL taken over tha world and a CAPRICORN I swear they try U everytime but she’s a G.O.A.T for a reason!!!”

“@marjorie_harvey 🤣🤣🤣 love your clap back!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️❤️”

Yet Lori’s dating history is more colorful than Songz and Depay.

When photos were snapped of Lori and the crooner together in December, rapper Future came forward to assert that he may have dated her too.

“You ducked too late. I see you,” the rapper said in a video on his Instagram Story. “I like that. It’s cute. Cute, keep it up.”

He wasn’t the only star kissing and telling, either. Diddy’s son Justin Combs wrote and then deleted, “Should’ve ducked sooner !!” on a Dec. 21 Instagram photo caption.

As such, other commenters began pointing out Marjorie’s past. Steve Harvey’s ex-wife accused him or having an extramarital affair with Marjorie. In a 2017 $60 million lawsuit, Mary Shackelford claimed her husband of nine years cheated on her with Marjorie, whom he later wed in 2007. The lawsuit was ultimately thrown out in May 2017.

Additionally, a 2017 report from Radar Online stated that Marjorie was married to drug lord Jim L. Townsend, with whom she has two kids. The DEA and FBI investigated Marjorie over her husband’s drug ring and Townsend was locked up for 26 years after being pardoned by Barack Obama in 2017. Five years into his sentence, however, Marjorie left him and got involved with another drug lord, Donnell Woods, who is Lori’s father.

“That’s real funny considering her mother, Marjorie, has a really nasty past is known to be Reckless with other people’s husband.”

“The hoes of all hoes has some nerve 🤣🤣🤣🤣”

“Marjorie I’ma need you to sit this one out sis. We all know Marjorie a throwback hoe.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
