Yesterday, a letter detailing Steve Harvey’s very specific requests how his staff should avoid “ambushing” him in his dressing room made the rounds. Today, Steve Harvey would like you to know that he’s not sorry about it.
In a frankly incredible interview with Entertainment Tonight, Harvey made it exceedingly clear that he meant every damn word he wrote because his time on set is spent dodging well wishers and whoever else who all want a piece of the Harvey.
“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,” he explained. “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.”
“Look man, I’m in my makeup chair, they walk in the room. I’m having lunch, they walk in, they don’t knock,” he continued. “I’m in the hallway, I’m getting ambushed by people with friends that come to the show and having me sign this and do this. I just said, ‘Wait a minute.’ And in hindsight, I probably should’ve handled it a little bit differently.”
I mean…okay. Sending that letter to his entire staff instead of say, his assistant, who could very easily disseminate that information in a way that was less…like this might have been the better option. Like, everyone needs quiet time and alone time. I get it. Should we be mad at Steve Harvey for asking that people not run up on him and ask him to sign stuff? Maybe not.
