‘Straight Savage!’: Lori Harvey Shares ‘DUMPHIM’ Image to Social, Leaving Many to Speculate What Really Led to Her and Michael B. Jordan’s Breakup 

Lori Harvey seemingly is tossing out a few hints that she’s enjoying being single again.

Harvey, 25, and her boyfriend of over a year, Michael B. Jordan, 35, ended their Instagram-worthy romance just as summer kicked off. The Burberry model has been unsurprisingly tight-lipped when publicly addressing the breakup, although her decision to quickly remove any traces of the actor from social media spoke volumes to those keeping up with the relationship.

Obviously aware that her love life continues to be the topic of chatter, Harvey played right into the hand of those waiting for her to drop any hint of shade towards her former beau. In a swift post and delete, Harvey shared a photo of a car with the license plate “DUMPHIM” to her IG story. The image quickly sparked speculation among social media users that the break-up may have been less amicable than first perceived. 

“Straight savage!” commented a user.

“He must’ve really hurt her feelings. It looks like he may have dumped her the way she acting,” said another. 

“Chile what is the real tea with Michael B. Jordan. What did he do to deserve this.”

“At this point just say what happened because the subliminal messages she and her family have put out are indicating there was an issue,” wrote a fourth user.

In the wake of the break-up, a “source” close to the former couple told PEOPLE Harvey and Jordan were “both completely heartbroken” and that “they still love each other.” Whether either statement is true remains unknown to those on the outside attempting to look in on the private matter. 

Jordan, who is currently working on the third “Creed” installment, waited three weeks before removing his photos with Harvey. The “Journal for Jordan” actor also stepped out for his first night on the town around the same time.

On the flip side, the SKN skincare founder has been spotted out all smiles, and showing off her toned and trim figure in form-fitting attire at various events, proving from the public’s perspective that she has yet to skip a beat over the break-up.

“I’m in a really, really good space. Like, really happy, I’m excited for the summer,” said Harvey in a recent interview with E!. After enduring two years of COVID-19 restrictions and quieter summers, the socialite added that she is more than ready to make the most of the good weather and good company. 

“I feel like this is the first summer that we have kind of no real restrictions, like we’re off lockdown. So I feel good.”

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.
