Steve Harvey's Sidekick Is Sued For Being Alleged Deadbeat Tenant
In another embarrassment for Steve Harvey, his radio show sidekick, Shirley Strawberry, has reportedly been sued for allegedly being a deadbeat tenant.
According to a website report, Strawberry, Harvey's co-star on his morning radio show was an alleged freeloader when it came to paying her rent -- and then she split before sheriffs came to evict her.
Strawberry, who appears on The Steve Harvey Morning Show, one of the comedian's many ventures, has reportedly been slapped with a lawsuit by the homeowner's leasing agent, Pacific Shore Property Management.
Legal documents reportedly accuse both Strawberry and her husband of freeloading on the property. PSP Management claims that Strawberry had a 1-year lease for $7,500 a month and while she paid the first month's rent, her May payment was 25 days late. After that, Strawberry allegedly quit paying at all.
The homeowner told the website that Strawberry made excuses for the missing rent and when sheriff finally came to evict her in September, she had vanished.
