Michael B. Jordan went off on a popular reporter Lore’l, while on the red carpet – and put her on BLAST, Media Take Out confirmed.
During a Friday night’s premiere event for Creed III, the actor/director took some time to speak with Morning Hustle host Lore’l. Lore’l, who grew up with Michael, immediately congratulated him on the new film and revealed they were classmates in New Jersey.
“We go way back, all the way back to Chad Science [Academy] in Newark,” she said.
“Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?” Jordan responded, referring to her remarks on a podcast – where she described high school Michael as “corny.”
Lore’l laughed off the Jordan’s comment and insisted she was “misquoted”; however, the actor pushed back and said he directly heard Lore’l call him “corny.”
“No you did not hear me say that! I said we used to make fun of the name,” she continued, before changing the subject. “But yeah, he is obviously killing things out here.”
Lore’l went on to ask Jordan about his Creed III experience as well as his rumored project with Will Smith. She then closed the interview by telling Jordan, “Well, you’re not corny anymore.”
Was Michael doing too much … or was he warranted in confronting his alleged high school bully?
