Steve Harvey was no stranger to scandal before an offencive memo sent to his staff was leaked in 2017. In 2015, Harvey came under fire for a misogynistic taping of The Steve Harvey Show in Chicago. Earlier in 2017, he was again criticized for poking fun at Asian men on his show. Any fans who had yet to question his on-air persona could no longer ignore the stories after one of his staff memos was leaked on blogger Robert Feder's Chicago-based media blog.
The gist of the memo: leave Harvey alone. Among the many directives made in the memo, Harvey wrote, "Do not come to my dressing room unless invited," and "Do not approach me while I'm in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly." Soon after the memo was leaked, Harvey opted skip his show's wrap party, and production of his show was moved from Chicago to LA with a new crew.
