Steve Harvey Under Fire Following His Wife’s Use of the “R” Word

Certain words carry significant impact and should be avoided altogether. Some of these words target specific groups, while others are simply too offensive to tolerate. When Steve Harvey’s wife used the word “retarded” on social media, it caused public outcry. Steve Harvey stepped in to address the situation and defend his wife.

The incident unfolded in a video on Marjorie Harvey’s Instagram, where she and Steve were playfully cutting fruit in the kitchen. Marjorie used the offensive term while joking about an argument with her husband over vegetable cutting. However, her choice of words sparked a major controversy, prompting Steve Harvey to intervene.

In the video, Marjorie can be heard saying, “I’m sitting here arguing with my husband, ’cause clearly he thinks I’m retarded [and] I don’t know how to cut a beet.” This clip garnered over 400,000 views on Instagram, where Marjorie boasts 1.7 million followers as a fashion and lifestyle blogger.

Many of Marjorie’s followers expressed disappointment and outrage at her use of the derogatory term. Some highlighted the harmful impact such language has on individuals with cognitive disabilities and their families. Despite backlash, some supporters dismissed the criticism as excessive political correctness.

Steve Harvey defended his wife’s use of the word, arguing it was not meant to offend and that people were overreacting. He expressed frustration with what he perceived as an overly sensitive response from the public.

The incident raised questions about the public’s reaction to offensive language and the boundaries of political correctness. While some felt the outrage was justified, others believed it was blown out of proportion. Ultimately, the controversy emphasized the importance of sensitivity and respect when using language, particularly in a public setting.
