Yet another unfortunate incident has taken place with Steve Harvey. This time on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We’re not sure if he apologized on this morning’s show as we didn’t listen but during a show this week a Flint, MI resident phoned in and in jest gave Harvey a hard time about the Cleveland Cavaliers losing the NBA Chionship.

Harvey bullied the caller by doing the unthinkable. Considering the national attention that Flint has gotten over the toxic water crisis mostly affecting the impoverished and many black children, Harvey, initially talked about the “silver water” then he capped the conversation with the caller still on the line AFTER he was warned by the staff, he told the called to “enjoy yo Brown wata.” Twitter exploded after the exchange and the mayor of Flint is asking Harvey for an apology. Ironically, Harvey previously supported the backlash to elected political officials in Flint who knew about the toxic water crisis but diverted allocated funding into other areas but his latest comments have upset many people
