Steve Harvey’s apology video came six days after the social media faux pas. The comedian, visibly upset by the post, which garnered about a million views, described it as negative and contrary to his motivational and positive brand. He repeatedly insisted that he would never have made such a statement, attributing it to a ‘young’ employee seeking to boost engagement on his account.
In the video, Harvey also revealed that he has fired the responsible employee, remarking, “Okay, be trying to get some employment too.” Harvey reluctantly apologized to his fans and assured them such an incident would not happen again.
Several followers expressed their support for Harvey, showing that the post had not tarnished his reputation. One X user, Sovanna Kim, responded to the video in a post, saying, “Steve, you don’t need to be angry or upset. Your [credibility] is good with the viewers. We know this isn’t something you would say or do.”
