ATLANTA-  Earnest Williams, the husband of Steve Harvey Morning Show co-host and radio personality Shirley Strawberry, has been indicted under the State of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) on 39 charges. According to the charging documents, that marriage is also coming under scrutiny as the indictment claims it helped facilitate Williams’ alleged criminal activity.

As WSBTV reported, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who has become notorious for her office’s expansion of the state’s RICO act , said Williams’ activity stretches back to 2009.

“He’s been conning people from 2009 to 2022. He would pretend to be a legitimate businessman , but he was stealing from people, in United States currency, vehicles, and really just taking advantage of people.”
