The Harveys promptly dispelled the rumors, vehemently denying any wrongdoing and standing together in the face of these allegations. Steve, not one to let the rumors get to him, first addressed the issue during the Invest Fest 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia, affirming his commitment to Marjorie. In the video that later went viral on TikTok, Steve addressed the hearsay, proclaiming:

"Before I get started, just let me say, I'm fine. Marjorie's fine."

Marjorie, taking a more direct approach, dismissed the gossip on Instagram. On August 28, she shared a post titled "How to Handle Being Lied About" and wrote that she and her husband did not usually stop to respond to the lies that people told about them.

But she felt that because they had a platform, they had the responsibility to encourage those who may not have the capacity to take such rumors in stride. The post was accompanied by a Bible verse, which she asked her fans to read and share with their loved ones who found it hard to cope with gossip about them. The verse read:

"When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly."

In a poignant acknowledgment, Steve credited his remarkable achievements to the steadfast presence of his beloved wife, and before exiting the stage, he said, "I love you, Marjorie Harvey. I appreciate you riding with me."
