‘Talking Bout Some Turtle…She Slowly Walked Out That Man Life’: Michael B. Jordan Wipes Social Clean of Lori Harvey and Steps Out on the Town In L.A. Following Breakup  

Michael B. Jordan is stepping back onto the scene following his breakup from skin care enthusiast Lori Harvey. The couple who left fans swooning over their romance split in early June after more than a year of dating.   

And to prove just how accepting he is of his newly single status, the former PEOPLE “Sexiest Man Alive” not only removed all traces of Harvey from his social account — a task fans were beckoning the actor to tend to — but also enjoyed an outing at West Hollywood’s Delilah nightclub over the weekend of June 19.

Jordan was photographed outside the popular location by paparazzi. Though not smiling, the actor flashed a peace sign from behind the wheel of his vehicle. The “Fruitvale Station” actor already has an abundance of fans who are thrilled that he is no longer tied up in a romance, many of who are ready to shoot their shot at a chance for connection. Others, however, took time out to offer words of comfort. “Michael you are going to be just fine,” and “Leave that man alone,” they wrote.

A source speaking exclusively with People said, “They had great times together and brought out the best in each other,” of the couple’s time together. But in the end, it is speculated that Jordan and Harvey were not on the same page as it pertains to the future. Jordan, 35, is said to have been ready to take the next step in the relationship, whereas Harvey was still wanting to be free and have fun before entertaining the idea of becoming a Mrs.

Elsewhere on social media many people have debated whether or not the 25-year-old took advantage of the opportunity to date Jordan while knowing she’d eventually move on.

“She wasted that man time I would’ve just took notes from Future,” wrote one person.

Some people instead said the “Creed” actor should have known better than to tout Harvey and their love around.

“Can’t be doing wife s—t for a girlfriend. Simple as that. Flowers, treats, lil gifts.”

“Talking bout some turtle [laughing emoji]…she slowly walked out that man life.”

Harvey has previously been linked to rapper Future, Trey Songz, and allegedly to Diddy and his son Justin Combs. Publicly the model remains unfazed by the memes and rumors swirling about her love life. Instead, following news of the breakup, Harvey immediately removed every photo of her former beau and has not missed a beat when it comes to hanging out with her girls and attending events.

Still independent.

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.
