Lore’l has mostly been on the right side of the entertainment industry as a rapper, and host of The Morning Hustle Show, The Undressing Room Podcast, and Bully and The Beast Podcast. She landed on the wrong side of the media when it became public that she bullied director and actor Michael B. Jordan.
The question is, how true is the allegation? Well, Jordan attested to having been called “corny” by Lore’l while they were kids, but he did not make it seem as though it was as serious as the media has pointed it out. Also, Lore’l has debunked the news that she bullied the actor. Here’s the full story.
Who is Lore’l?
Lore’l is an American entertainer born Monica Torrs on January 13, 1988, in Brooklyn, New York.
She grew up in New Jersey and attended Chad Science Academy where she was classmates with Michael B. Jordan.
Afterward, she moved to where she attended another high school alongside another famous actor and musician Rotimi.
The entertainer also studied entertainment law in South Beach, Florida.
Lore’l Started Her Rise to Fame at 16
With a talent that she recognized at a young age, Lore’l explored music as a rapper and found fame at 16.
Since then, she has attracted attention in different aspects of entertainment. In 2013, she featured in the TV series Love and Hip Hop: New York and Love and Hip Hop: Check Yourself – a reality TV series that focuses on the lives of professional people in hip hop and R&B.
She has also appeared in Hustle in Brooklyn (2018) and RapFix Live (2018).
Apart from appearing in reality shows, she has gained fame through her being a podcaster. She is known for podcasts such as Bully and the Beast and Lip Service.
With more to offer, she wrapped herself in yet another great entertainment path through her involvement in the popular entertaining, humorous, and informative show called The Morning Hustle.
The Truth About Her Bullying Michael B. Jordan
In February 2023, Lore’l interviewed Michael B. Jordan for a Creed III red carpet event. In the interview, Jordan reminded her that she used to call him “corny”. From the video, it did not seem like Jordan had any hard feelings toward Lore’l.
Well, the entire situation did not sit well with some internet users who dragged her for being a bully to the TV star. Others even claimed that she bullied him all through the time they were in middle school.
To show their displeasure, some internet users went as far as sending her ill wishes.
Despite the attention that the news gained, Lore’l had an interview with TMZ where she stated that she never really bullied Jordan. Instead, they were all kids at about the age of 12 who sometimes made fun of each other. She also narrated how he was teased because his name was Michael Jordan (as in the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan).
Moreso, the red carpet reporter attested that he was not the only that was teased as she was also teased for his skin color since the school majorly had black kids.
The popular narrative has been that she teased the Without Remorse actor all through middle school. However, this does not seem to be the case as the Morning Hustle Show disclosed that she spent only a year in Chad Science Academy school with Jordan before she moved to another school. Hence, there was no way she could have bullied the actor for long as the media painted it.
With respect to her calling him “corny”, she added that it was Dominique Da Diva who called him corny.
