*Steve Harvey is facing another lawsuit… this time it’s from a woman who used to rep his ex-wife.
According to court doc obtained by Bossip, Essie Berry filed a $5 million civil suit against the “Family Feud” host for stalking, harassment, civil rights violations, witness tampering and intimidation.
Berry, who happens to be the widow of “What’s Happening” sitcom star Fred “Re Run” Berry, claims Harvey has had it to to get her ever since she asked his ex-wife, Mary Vaughn, to be part of a reality show she’d been pitched, “Widows, Wives and Ex-Celebrity Wives.”

However, Berry insists she didn’t know Vaughn signed a nondisclosure agreement as part of her divorce. Court docs state that once Harvey found out about the potential deal, he obtained a gag order against Berry in his divorce case from Vaughn, and accused her of being an “extortionist” and a “co-conspirator.”
She believes this was done an attempt to “shatter and murder [her] emotional state of mind through the TX’s (sic) court with a lie for years.”
Berry also claims Harvey used his considerable financial resources and power to frame and defame her and cause her severe distress and ruined her career.
She is demanding $5 million in damages, an apology and for Harvey to clear her name of claims that she was an extortionist and a co-conspirator.
You recall, Steve’s ex Mary filed a $60 million lawsuit against her ex claiming he “tortured her” and was a “soul murder.” A judge tossed her claim.
