Not So Blind Item

Sandra Rose July 20, 2016

Blind Item

I did not write the following Blind Item. Please direct your inquiries and complaints to the original source.

Blind Gossip — A huge celebrity who wrote several best-selling books used a ghostwriter… the same one who is now charged with stealing material from others!

Now every word of the celebrity’s books is undergoing scrutiny to determine whether or not the material is original… and a huge firestorm is going to erupt once they find out how much of the material was “borrowed” from other sources!

Ghostwriters are very common in the industry. Whoever this plagiarizing ghost-writer is maybe needs to find a new profession…
LibraGirlonly

Most of the time it’s a ghost writer writing for other people.
B.Sweet is Savage

Is there someone who really thought he wrote those books?
SugarFoot a.k.a Ty

Right
jazmine

I barely believe Steve read the damn books let alone wrote them
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

Steve Harvey!

Nothing he has ever done was original. Sorray!
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

lolololol….corner you gooooooo!!! “cause you’re in my thoughts!
MISSMEWITDATBULL

Um – ain’t this blind about the Chump’s and the ghostwriter they paid to take the fall for that copied speech?
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

Hey! We just found out that Michelle Obama was a ghost writer…so who knew. I still won’t give him a pass…this fool will steal your dreams while you’re asleep.

There’s something disingenuous about this man and his brand
Yardgirl

Exactly!!?
LeBrick James

Interestingly, she’s a registered Democrat.

So people are wondering now if there was some sabotage involved.

Does anyone really believe Steve Harvey is literate enough to write a book? Come on!
Jusstlookn To Stay Woke

IT was mentioned by him that he had a ghost writer, of course he did have you heard him speak.
stav

ABSOLUTELY!
Jusstlookn To Stay Woke

Sandra, why can you do a Post on Kelly Price, we don’t care about Steve.

Thanks,
Loyal Reader for now (lol)
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

“this man” covered it all.

Like that time he tried to swipe roles right from under Bernie Mac with The Ocean franchise…and considered himself his friend.
LeBrick James

For most celebrities, their “brand” is artificial, at least to some extent. It ain’t just him.
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

It’s old now, but that story gave me a hearty chuckle because I have a friend that is exactly like her!
Canary Red™

LMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! *tears*

As We Lay, we forgot about the Church family as we lay…….
http://batman-news.com Roderick2011

I thought your post read that Steve can barely read.
I aint the one

This is true for MANY celeb-authored books. Sometimes the celebs are decent enough to share credit with the actual writer. Others…not so much.
surprise2012

I give him his funny. But I believe he’s fake & phoney.
LeBrick James

I’m still tripping off that one.
Did she think the church folks were gonna sing along to that song? ridiculous.
BRING THE PAYNE

Shyyyyyyyd,sounds like him and trump wife need to huddle THEE hayle up and come up with a REAL book on HOW TO BE WHEN CAUGHT IN OTHER PEOPLE’S THROAT!?
hi-liter

Right. They probably would have but definitely not in that setting.
Jusstlookn To Stay Woke

So is Omar SlimT but we fet see that non sense.
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

Hell I hated that song as a black slider, I definitely don’t like it as a church goer!
BRING THE PAYNE

His teeth look like they have a life all there on?
Vonn

Melania Trump. She said it was a real page Turner.
https://twitter.com/Chicagowise Chicagowise

He’s the (real) male version of Leslie Jones.
hi-liter

Yeah, the only thing he seems to care about is working and hosting to make more money for his trophy wife to spend on her off the runway designer pieces. That batch be put together though I must say.
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

Well it is too old for Sandra to post, but her anger is still new. She is going to fester this for awhile.
Blaque Mahogany

Who really cares? No offense but his books were for women with no fathers or male associates that could tell them what the real is/was any dang way. Bunch of common sense/common knowledge ish in his books anyway. And these chicks still dumb as hell when it comes to relationships.
BKLYNS MAMA

lol….she could at least threw some Jesus and Amenz in the song…
jazmine

Now that you mention it ?
just being me

My question is why are they investigating everybody else instead of going after Ms Trump .. If Hillary had done this they wouldnt care about the speech writer they would go directly after her ………
hi-liter

Exactly. Maybe someone in the congregation needed to hear a word from that song. lol
jazmine

Shoulda just changed it to as we lay down our burdens
Blaque Mahogany

For real, for real. He didn’t plagiarize, he just clumped commonly used words together to make sentences/phrases that are similar to whoever wrote/initially said them. Isn’t that the way it works now? Or just when it comes to other folks?
BKLYNS MAMA

I give him his funny<—you giving him a lot. just like Kevin Hart, his lil as AINT funny…but that's just me…giggles
MISSMEWITDATBULL

Yep, a registered Dem who’s been on Chump’s payroll forever. I call BS. Ain’t no sabotage. That’s another smokescreen to change the narrative in their favor. They’ve been trying to pull the pimp flip since this story broke. Facts: y’all lied. Y’all stole. Y’all lied about lying and stealing. Pointing fingers and hollering sabotage now won’t change the facts.
hi-liter

*DEAD* As we lay down this old rugged cross.
Junkanoo

Serves him right greedy heffa . Certainly strike while the irons hot but some folks ar ed too bloody greedy it’s never enough for them , they amass do much wealth ad if they can take it with them when they die. Never liked this horse face bucked tooth bug eyed heffa and don’t get me started on that trifling wife of his
Brownie

OK! Someone may have read it to his wife and she never got around to telling him about it… ? How were the movies, though? I never got around to catching them either.
Blaque Mahogany

Although Sandra used a pic of Steve Harvey, the blind item is really about the ghostwriter. The ghostwriter has been accused of stealing other people’s work. Not Steve. Just wanted to clear that up…seems to have gone over some heads.
Fendi

Your description of the Caucasian delegation is spot on. It applies to the better portion of wypipo, not just the Trumps.
CosmoBeauty

He’s so K00NISH and full of sh!t?
Melissaisasnob

Steve Harvey is a misogynist.
Cricket404

It wasn’t even Steve’s idea it was someone else’s who wanted to use Steve’s name for his celebrity. Steve contributions were more like ‘yeah yeah yeah that’s sounds good, lets do it, that’s real talk.
BKLYNS MAMA

the sad part…in Kelly’s reply video she was really mad…like how dem church folk have an attitude. bytch you at the GOSPEL EXPO singing cheating…did YOU not understand what the song was about…so disrespectful…but funny is hell!
Soda

Is signing the book upside down a clue?
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

Are any of the Power fans excited about the green light for season 4 and 5? Empire need to up their game. Adding Taye Diggs in the case is not going to be fun at all.
Blaque Mahogany

I am! And this is the first I heard of it.
Rodmilla De Ghent

I never liked Steve Harvey, just a smiling fool, like Forest Gump was a running one.
I aint the one

A HUGE one.
I aint the one

I’m taking my ass home ??
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

lololol…
lollolololol
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

Just found out Lil’ Mo converted to Islam. I wish her luck on this being she shows a lot of skin, and as of recent on the Hip Hop honors, and she stay getting tatted. They are very strict over the women.

PettyEyezPrime

Females were dumb as hell for telling them how to be anvydamnway. Screw you Steve.
surprise2012

SEE – smh.
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

I still think Steve is a fraud.

Could the ghostwriter be the one that wrote Melania’s speech?
surprise2012

WHAT? ???
surprise2012

I didn’t hear about the Kelly Price situation. I guess I better search. Sandra you know I check you 1st
MissHarlem

She’s been covered up on ig. Especially during Ramadan. Hip Hop honors event was the first I seen in awhile.
TeeTee

It could be Donald Trump ya know … his ghostwriter came out of hiding too
TeeTee

she was supposed to just be singing later for the music expo and go moved up – she did not know – the event holders apologized to her
Mister Fantastic

Steve is just learning to read within the past 2 years. Hell, R. Kelly still can’t read! You know they are not not writing any parts of a book. Ghost writers are in high demand though (and needed), nothing new with that…
jazmine

Gabriel Union and Kevin hart are the best “actors”in it…. Do with that what you will
surprise2012

IKR. She sure does.
MissyJ

Steve books has the other author listed on the jacket

Melanin would’ve been better off saying the speech wrote itself. Or it was all an illusion.

Are they trying to divert attention from trumps wife??? Cause the memes & videos are funny as hail… Seriously!
http://disqus.com/ yoliewinecorporation

Can’t stand Steve dude good to give others Advice on marriages & dating but yet he’s a damn Cheater & divorce how many times. Seriously
PussyGal0re

Is anyone surprised? He’s full of ca ca. Bald head, liver lipped, p0rn stache having a$$
PussyGal0re

Yes. You can see that he’s doing his best not to expose the sleazeball that he is. The manner in which he treated his previous wife(ves) and the circumstances under which he wed Lady Heroin, he’s the last fool women should accept advice from. He is a repulsive human being. I can’t stomach his voice.
PussyGal0re

She’s a tacky heffa! Too bad you can’t buy style…..or class.
PussyGal0re

Yet he is henpecked and ended up with a gold digger. The irony!
PussyGal0re

She was there? I must have missed her.
PussyGal0re

Did someone ghostwrite your post? ?
testtee

I met a ghost writer.. Wouldn’t tell me who his client was.. But hinted around enough to figure out.. Because negroz cant hold water in a bucket.. Lol..
VM

Oh yes, I think she’s smoking hot.
???????’ ?? ? ???? ????

I didn’t know that celebrities/people in general use ghostwriters, I mean come on who does that?!
kekeb

If he paid for the services, then who cares. . . Isn’t that the purpose of ghost writers?
Low E. TUH!

BUT…THIS CHICK THE OTHER NIGHT PLAGIARIZED A WHOLE SPEECH THO.
Low E. TUH!

DIZAMN!
kekeb

No disrespect, but yeah Kevin Hart is not funny at all. He’s loud, yes. Irritating, yes. Marketable, yes. Funny, nope
Wuts got Petty Davis Eyes..

“SMH, Its a shame that someone would plagiarize others work. it is unethical. They need to do like me and write everything yourself so this wont happen.” Melania Trump
hottlanta

I am still laughing at the 90 day rule to have sex when he married Marjorie less than 90 days after he divorced his second wife. We women are sexist as all outdoors. If Halle wrote a book about relationships women will be all over her saying she’s been married 3 times, she can’t keep a man so how is she gonna tell me what to do. Steve has been married 3 times wrote a book and no one but me has said he can’t give relationship advice but they tell me Steve has learned from his mistakes and he can tell us what to do in a relationship. Really so his other marriages where just learning patterns for this marriage.They have yet to say he can’t keep a woman.
imright

u cant stand Leslie huh?????
RespectSelf

I don’t know why people are reading so much into everything. You really think that stuff wasn’t on purpose. They put too much money into elections for dumb stuff like that to happen.
Gal Butler

Exactly! I was thinking Donald.
Gal Butler

Not just you.
Orchidjones-PETTY INSTIGATOR

Performing for Missy during the first few mins of the show.
B.Sweet is Savage

He can’t give me any relationship advice. Him nor Halle. LOL
Tish

I have been saying that! He copied his ex bodyguard’s books! I read his books years ago, and I read Steve’s book and I knew he was a fraud! I did not like him after what he did to Bernie Mac! Here is the ex bodygaurd’s book! Same book Steve stole! https://www.amazon.com/Want-Closure-Your-Relationship-Start/dp/188433170X
SameoleJ

CTHU…….EXACTLY!!
yelpforhelp

Did M. Trump write this too?
yelpforhelp

It happens just like celebrities and designers that choose sketches and ain’t designed a datum thing.
SameoleJ

She was at a gospel event….the entire theme was gospel. Don’t matter what time she went up……she intended to sing THAT song at a gospel event.
SameoleJ

I have to agree
SameoleJ

Didn’t she tell him that he had to divorce his wife in order to be with her? Me thinks they humped prior (she was probably a mistress), he got strung out on the P and thus left his marriage and married her. Here is the thing……….he isn’t really ever seen without her…….is that her rule, because she knows how she got him? 3 marriages, and he was the common denominator.
SameoleJ

Steve is till the misogynist and dog that he has always been, he just found a woman who doesn’t mind his ways and allows him to do as he pleases. As long as he keeps her in the lifestyle she wants….she will stay and as long as she remains mute on his mess, he will stay. Just like Vanessa and Kobe. Shoot, even Shaq knew who Shaunie was when he married her, as she was married when they started…..as long as their mess was kept quiet, they were happy.
testtee

Cant hate on happiness goals.. Lol..

?Patty Kakes?

What did he do to Bernie Mac!?!?
?Patty Kakes?

Think you it’s not his fault.
H-Town Girl

When the powers that be approached Bernie for his own sitcom, Steve went behind Bernie’s back and contacted them stating Bernie was not the man, he was the man they really wanted. This got back to Bernie…in the end you know who got their own sitcom.
H-Town Girl

Tell that to all the folks paying for what they thought was original Steve Harvey advise and what they really got was some recycled material from someone else.
Enoughsaid2020

Ghostwriting is very common. If you read most of the relationship books, they say the same things, just in different forms. I never purchased Steve Harvey’s book.
Rarechild93

Steve Harvey, perhaps???
https://twitter.com/Chicagowise Chicagowise

I cringe every time I see her!
hottlanta

Did she covert her uterus to stop having kids by all of her 5 husbands. Toooo much.
hottlanta

I noticed in Bernie’s Unsung series, Steve name was not mentioned at all.
H-Town Girl

if his name all over it and he advertising it as his advise then it is his fault 100%.
TeeTee Major

and a bunch of women were flocking for his crap advice, chile please.
he can do nothing for me but close his big a$$ mouth and unbuck his ugly eyes.
http://www.missjhaneuniverse.com Monday

The Kardashians uses Ghostwriters for every book they come out with. I NEVER see them write anything…no even a purchase receipt signature.

I am not a bit surprised..

Victoria Becham did wrote hers…I believe it. Faith Evans, now not so sure… Miss Jones, yes..Destiny’s Child…don’t think so, Sista Souljah, yes…

Who else should I bring up
?Patty Kakes?

It the editor fault. That’s there job to make sure everything’s in order. It the editor and the company who published the book……..he may have some percentage of fault bit it sure isn’t 100%. That’s for sure
Ajavee

Well stated ?
Mel

I like Steve he is the reason I still watch family feud he brings so much life to that show.
KcoolMuziq

Steve Harvey admitted on his talk show that he used a ghostwriter to help write his books. But for the sole purpose of CORRECTING his bad GRAMMAR & ENGLISH.Not because he stole someone else’s ideas.Giving relationship advise doesn’t have to be stolen. EVERYBODY has had relationship problems in their lifetime… SmH
http://www.swedishsoul.com Christina Duphorn Zehnder

yup
?Patty Kakes?

wow…..Steve is a snake. After all that Bernie’s show did better(at least in my book) I never really watched Steve’s show
