‘You Can’t Tell Him Anything Right Now’: Lori Harvey Says Stepfather Steve Harvey Is ‘Feeling Himself’ After Praise He’s Been Getting for His Outfits

Steve Harvey seemingly is getting a big head after multiple days of his fans telling him how fly he looks.

As many fans know, Harvey does not play around when it comes to his suits. In fact, most of his Instagram page is filled with photos of him modeling his suits and other outfits that he may have worn that day or week. Just last week he went viral on Twitter after wearing an emerald green Dolce & Gabbana suit. Now it seems all the praise has made Harvey get a little cocky.

According to his stepdaughter Lori Harvey, who spoke with Justin Sylvester and Loni Love on E! News’ ‘Daily Pop,” “He’s feeling himself. You can’t tell him anything right now.” While Lori is a little fashionista herself, she did confess that she could not take credit for her father’s swag. “My best friend is his stylist, Elly Karamoh. So he has completely transformed him. He’s like a new style icon.”

Some may recall that Steve always has been known for his suits, but he has gone through an evolution with them. In his stand-up comedian days, he would wear suits that were very big, loose and not tailored. He recently spoke about his wardrobe transformation and gave credit to his wife of 14 years, Marjorie Harvey, for that.

“That’s the crazy part about it, because my wife is my biggest critic and my biggest fan. And she stopped me from wearing the big long suits a long time ago.” Recounting the moment that she told him, he told GQ, “She said, ‘Steve, can I talk to you?’ She said, ‘I’m tired of being married to a pimp.’ And I went, ‘What?’ I was stunned, because you married me and that’s all I had, was big suits. She said, ‘Yeah, but I was going to change you anyway.’ ”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
