Michael B. Jordan’s story of success and fame is no less than a revenge thriller plot. The Creed actor has come a long way since his childhood days of being bullied in the corridors of a Newark private school. Jordan’s classmates found his name funny, and they ridiculed him for having a similar name to the basketball legend. Matters worsened when they found out that he would turn up at school with a headshot of himself.

In an episode of Undressing Room, Lore’l, a former classmate of Michael B. Jordan, revealed that they teased him all the time because of his name, and they lived in a rough neighborhood where they would make fun of him for bringing his headshot to school. Lore’l also said that Michael B. Jordan was not at all like Michael Jordan, and his name made him an easy target for bullying.

The Ultimate Red Carpet Showdown

Years later, tables turned when Lore’l met Michael B. Jordan on the red carpet for an interview. Unfortunately, things didn’t go well for Lore’l as the awkward moment was shared on social media, and she became the object of backlash and ridicule. Michael B. Jordan unapologetically called her out for labeling him as a “corny kid” and exposing his childhood trauma. Although Lore’l did not contribute to that tangent of conversation, she certainly deserved a comeback from the Creed III star.
