Steve Harvey Lawsuit: Ex-Wife Alleges Mental Torture, "Soul Murdering"
In a controversial letter to employees that went viral last week, Steve Harvey demanded to be left alone.
But Mary L. Vaughn apparently did not get the memo.
The comedian’s ex-wife is coming strong after the man she says scorned her in nearly every way imaginable, filing a $ 60 million lawsuit against Harvey that paints him in an even worse light than that infamous letter.
Vaughn and Harvey were married from 1996 through 2005.
During their time together, the former was allegedly subjected to “prolonged torture with the infliction of severe mental pain and suffering,” according to court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight.
These same legal papers also claim that Vaughn “attempted suicide by self-medicating [in] an effort to stop the pain.”
Yikes.
They go on to allege that Harvey and his lawyer caused “severe emotional distress” that led to a litany of medical conditions for not only Vaughn … but her immediate family over the past 15 years or so.
Pretty damning accusations, that’s for certain.
And Vaughn isn’t even finished.
She’s suing the talk show host for child endangerment, torture, kidnapping, breach of contract, conspiracy against rights, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and “soul murdering.”
The lawsuit even cites such terms/actions as harassment, brainwashing and theft by deception.
Harvey and Vaughn share a 10-year old son, Wynton.
This isn’t the first time the latter has aired severe accusations against Harvey, having previously gone off on him via a YouTube video.
She was even jailed for 30 days in 2013 for contempt of court after violating the terms of a gag order in the couple’s divorce.
Harvey has three kids from his first marriage and has been the husband of third wife Marjorie since 2007.
Just a few days ago, Harvey made negative headlines after the Internet learned that he sent a memo to employees last year in which he laid out a series of ground rules.
They all boiled down to Harvey wanting total and complete privacy at work, with excerpts including the following demands:
Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.
Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly.
Do not wait in the hallway to speak to me… make an appointment.
The star eventually acknowledged that he sent this letter, but made no apologies for how much of a diva it made him sound like.
“I could not find a way to walk from the stage to my dressing room, to sit in my makeup chair, to walk from my dressing room to the stage or to just sit and have lunch without somebody just walking in,” Harvey explained to ET, adding:
“I’ve always had a policy where, you know, you can come and talk to me – so many people are great around here, but some of them just started taking advantage of it…
“I just didn’t want to be in this prison anymore where I had to be in this little room, scared to go out and take a breath of fresh air without somebody approaching me, so I wrote the letter.”
Vaughn would likely say that she knows a thing or two about being stuck in a prison when it comes to Harvey.
In response to her lawsuit, Steve’s attorney Brandon Williams told TMZ the followingL
“Mr. Harvey vehemently denies any allegations set forth in the lawsuit. The Complaint is meritless, frivolous and the allegations are completely false.
“We will vigorously defend/counterclaim against the Complaint.”

Christina Grimmie: Killer Believed She Was His "Soul Mate"
The case involving Kevin James Loilbl and his victim is closed.
On June 10th, Loibl approached 22-year-old Christina Grimmie while she was signing autographs after her Orlando concert.
Armed with two handguns, ammunition and a hunting knife, Loibl shot Grimmie before being tackled to the ground by her older brother, Marcus.
Loibl then turned the gun on himself.
According to police reports obtained by CNN, family members said that Loibl had “no history of mental illness,” but did live “like a hermit.”
Because he had “an aversion to light,” the St. Petersburg, FL resident would cover his bedroom windows with tin foil and heavy curtain.
Nor did the 27-year-old have a criminal record. However, police were called to Loibl’s father’s home twice in 2013 and 2014 because of a domestic dispute between him and his father’s girlfriend.
No charges were ever pressed.
One gentleman, Cory Dennington, described himself to police as possibly Loibl’s “only friend in the world.” The two had known each other for 15 years.
Dennington’s statements were crucial to the case, since he gave police background on Loibl’s behavior and his actions leading up to the murder.
Dennington noticed that his friend had “become fixated” on The Voice contestant over the last year or so.
Loibl told Dennighton that “he watched everything having to do with her,” spending “most of his waking hours watching Christina on YouTube as well as constantly monitoring her social media accounts.”
What’s strange is that Loibl himself did not have an account on any platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc).
Though an athiest, Loibl had allegedly told Dennington that Grimmie’s faith changed the way he saw religion and “helped him to see the world in a different way.”
Loibl had reportedly told Dennington that if there was indeed a God, “he has seen it in her.”
When Loibl wasn’t working at a local Best Buy, the was on the computer in his room, family members told police.
At work, Loibl would be in the back, so that he wasn’t interacting with customers. Loibl’s supervisor, Luke Dahl, described him as “socially awkward” and “detached.”
Prior to the murder, Loibl underwent an extreme makeouver. He lost fifty pounds, had Lasik Surgery, got hair implants and whitened his teeth – all for Grimmie, Dennington recalled.
Dennington grew concerned about his friend’s obsession with Grimmie, and tried to talk rationally to him.
Loibl was furious, and refused to believe that his plan to meet and fall in love with Grimmie would never work.
In fact, he referred to the singer as his “soul mate.”
In the days before the murder, Loibl returned a few magazines to Dennington at work.
“I love you brother,” he told Dennigton, adding that he “was tired and ready to ascend.”
