Controversies

Brief radio suspension

In 2010 Harvey was suspended for 24 hours without pay after airing an explicit jingle about former TVNZ presenter and radio host Alison Mau on The Edge radio station.

Uncle Bully tweet

During the 2013 series of New Zealand's X Factor, Harvey received backlash over a tweet that he posted after contestant Grace Ikanasio didn't make it to the next round. The tweet wrote, Poor Gracie!

Accidental sending of genitals photo

In 2013 Harvey accidentally sent a photo of his genitals to New Zealand Paralympic Sophie Pascoe. The photo was intended for a producer at The Edge who shared the same first name.

Dancing With the Stars tweet

Harvey received further backlash over a tweet that he posted in 2015 during the final of New Zealand's Dancing With the Stars.
