Although she is best known for being the celebrity wife of the comedian, the founder of Lady Loves Couture's past marriages have made tabloid headlines. These are Marjorie Bridges Woods' ex-husbands.
Jim Townsend
Marjorie Harvey's first husband was Jim Townsend, and they were married in the 1990s. They have two children, a daughter, Morgan, and a son, Jason, who Steve legally adopted after they wed.
According to reports, Townsend was a drug lord who ran a major smuggling ring that moved hundreds of kilos of narcotics between Houston and Memphis. He was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment after getting caught trying to purchase large quantities of cocaine.

At his incarceration, his wife was pregnant with their second child, Jason, and their daughter was five. Townsend alleged in an interview that the FBI had substantial evidence against his wife, which led him to make a deal with the feds to prevent her from being indicted.
After 26 years in prison, Jim was pardoned by former president Barack Obama in 2017. In 2023, he released his memoir Snakes in the Garden, which he started writing while imprisoned. In his book, he details his marriage, past exploits, and relationship with his children.
The 58-year-old divorced Jim less than five years into his sentence and married her second husband, Donnell Woods.
