Steve Harvey was sensationally accused of “cheating” by a disgruntled contestant on the latest episode of Celebrity Family Feud.
Black-ish star Anthony Anderson, 53, who is a longtime friend of Steve’s, confronted Blurred Lines singer Robin Thicke, 47.
Both showbiz heavyweights brought their family members with them to compete in the pageant, as per the competition’s rules.
However, when a call didn’t go as Anthony expected, he dejectedly returned to his team, prompting one of them to react with outrage.
This particular member of Anthony’s family has a long history with Steve, 67, who confessed several years ago that he is afraid of him.

The scathing commentary on the deception came from none other than Anthony’s formidable mother, Doris Bowman, 71.
During an episode of the game show this week, Steve instructed the contestants: ‘Name an animal that a man sounds like when they’re making love.’
Robin answered, “Cow,” which was the third answer, while Anthony said, “A bear,” which happened to be the second answer.
Each celebrity earned 10 points, but since Anthony gave the highest-ranking answer, he assumed he had won the round.
Their hopes were dashed when Steve pointed out that Robin had managed to ring the bell first, meaning that the two teams had in fact tied.
Anthony was dejected, while his mother was so outraged by the result that she accused Steve of “cheating already!”
Steve revealed years ago that “Miss Doris” once “talked so mean” and “crazy” to me that she “scared the shit out of me” while they were playing dominoes.
The candid admission came when Anthony appeared as a guest on an episode of Steve’s syndicated talk show, which aired from 2012 to 2017.

When Doris lashed out at Steve during their game of dominoes, he wailed, “Miss Doris, you can’t talk to me like that!” and she sneered, “Well, what are you going to do?”
Anthony laughed when Steve revealed he was “shocked” by her response, after which she “beat me half to death” playing dominoes.
This year, Doris and Anthony teamed up to host their own game show, We Are Family, replacing Jamie Foxx and his daughter Corinne.
Anthony lovingly described his mother as someone who “has no filter” and added that she “speaks from the heart and tells it like it is and how she sees it,” through Deadline.
‘In real life, she tends to swear a lot more when it comes to me, but our chemistry is the same as on TV, and I think that’s what makes it so endearing.’
