*TV host Steve Harvey is making headlines once again with his ex-wife Mary Vaughn.
In what has been dubbed the “Mary Vaughn Curse,” Rolling Out reports that a friend of Harvey’s ex has filed a multi-pronged lawsuit against the“Family Feud” host, accusing him and his goons of harassment, intimidation and the “murder her emotional state of mind” after he learned she was in talks to do a reality show with Mary.
Essie Berry has reportedly filed a $5M lawsuit against the “Kings of Comedy” star for “defamation, despicable conduct, intentional infliction of mental anguish and emotional distress,” after, according to Berry, he engineered a years-long campaign of malicious intimidation and sabotage, according to court documents filed on May 22, Bossip reports.

Berry is the widow of sitcom star Fred Berry from the classic show “What’s Happening.” Harvey allegedly worked overtime to ruin her character and credibility after she teamed with Vaughn for negotiations to participate in a reality show called “Widows, Wives and Ex-Celebrity Wives.”
Berry said she was not privy to the fact that Vaughn had signed a nondisclosure agreement during her divorce from Harvey that forbids her from speaking on anything related to the former marriage.
Once Harvey found out that such a reality show was in the works, Berry said Harvey referred to her as an “extortionist” and a “co-conspirator.”
“…The defendant went (to) great lengths to make Ms. Berry’s life a living hell,” Berry wrote in court docs, according to Bossip.
Harvey countered Berry’s accusations as unsubstantiated and meritless. According to the report, Berry fired a few counter strikes, saying Harvey had
a mysterious male hide in the bushes while peering inside a friend’s home windows in an effort to find Berry.
“When someone saw the man peeking in the window, he was confronted,” Berry wrote in her new complaint. “This is when he identified himself as an affiliate of Harvey, not an officer of any court. He asked for the plaintiff by first name, then ran off.”
Berry responded by filing a police report and getting a restraining order against Harvey.
She is asking the courts for $5M in damages for emotional distress and other health-related issues due to her extreme fear of the Harvey camp.
