Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan is back in headlines after a resurfaced viral moment involving his former classmate, radio personality Lore’l.
The clip, originally from the Creed III red carpet, shows Jordan confronting Lore’l during an interview, reminding her that she once called him “corny” back in the day. The moment quickly went viral, with fans praising Jordan for addressing it head-on while others criticized Lore’l.
Lore’l is speaking out and pushing back on the narrative. She claims she never actually called Jordan “corny,” insisting she was misquoted and that the comment came from a former co-host during a podcast discussion.
She also explained that the two only attended school together briefly as kids and that teasing went both ways, describing it as typical childhood behavior—not bullying.
The original exchange still has people talking. During the interview, Jordan responded to her greeting with, “Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?”—a line that instantly set the tone and sparked debate across social media.
Despite the tension, Lore’l says there’s no real beef and that she continues to support Jordan’s success.
What started as a quick red carpet moment has now turned into a larger conversation about growth, accountability, and how people remember being treated before fame.
