‘She With Future’: Fans Slam Lori Harvey For Going to Casino During Pandemic

Lori Harvey appears to be unbothered by the coronavirus outbreak. The model went to a casino style party draped in a tight brown bodycon dress, and fans began to wonder why she was seemingly out instead of staying safe in her own.

Harvey posted a photo of herself on Instagram leaning against a roulette table. She looked glamorous with her long black hair hanging in a tight ponytail and her small black Saint Laurent clutch sitting on her left side. Harvey sported a brown nail set to match her ‘fit, and her fingers were covered in ice. She used the caption “Casino Royale 💰” to show fans her location.

The casino appeared to be crowded, and responding fans seemingly attacked Harvey for not practicing social distancing in the wake of the highly contagious COVID-19 virus.

“Social distancing 🤔,” one fan questioned.

“What Quarantine??🤭,” a second user joked.

A third fan shouted, “Get in the house baby. It’s a pandemic!”

“She with future so she’s immune to viruses,” a fourth user said.

“If Lori don’t gotta quarantine, neither do I! 🚗💨,” joked a fifth.

A sixth user commented,”She said f—-ck that corona 😍😍.”

This was not the first time that Harvey seemed unfazed by an important situation. The 23-year-old model was celebrating her birthday in Jamaica when the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office officially charged her with one count of resisting, delaying, obstructing a peace officer, and one count of hit-and-run resulting in property damage.

Back in October, the star allegedly hit a parked car on Moreno Drive in Los Angeles. During the incident, Harvey’s Mercedes G-Wagon flipped over and she was reported as having fled the scene by walking away. In spite of the charges that took place in her life in January, Harvey flooded her social media account with photos and videos of her turning up with her friends for her birthday.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
