“That hurts more”: Shaquille O’Neal Is Not Happy with Michael B Jordan’s “Revenge” on Mean Girl from His School

Shaquille O’ Neal, along with his regular crew- Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams, addressed a variety of hot topics dominating the news in the latest episode of ‘The Big Podcast’. O’Neal spoke of the Los Angeles Lakers’ prospects of making it to the playoffs, and the crew debated Coach Deion Sanders’ recruiting philosophy. Moreover, the cast was also joined by the Philadelphia 76ers star and 2023 NBA Slam Dunk contest winner Mac McClung. However, the conversation soon veered to Hollywood superstar Michael B. Jordan’s viral ‘revenge’ video on a female reporter.

In this recent episode that aired on March 2nd, Nischelle Turner brought up the latest viral incident involving Michael B Jordan and his former high school classmate during the red carpet of Creed III.  Shaq gave his two cents on the incident and did not seem to agree with Michael B Jordan’s conduct at all, contrary to popular opinion.

Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t agree with Michael B Jordan’s ‘revenge’ on his former classmate

During the red carpet of Michael B Jordan’s latest film Creed III, he was interviewed by a woman who happened to be his former classmate. She came to Michael pointing out that they go way back to high school, but the director of Creed III called out her bullying publicly.

In fact, Michael B. Jordan vividly remembered the time when she used to call him “corny” during their school days. He brought that up during the interview saying ‘what’s up’ to the now very awkward and apologetic reporter, who reluctantly denied the allegations. Meanwhile, Shaq seemed to disagree with Jordan’s approach.

During the podcast, Nischelle Turner lauded Michael B Jordan for giving it back to his high school bully, however Shaq had a different opinion. Commenting on the whole incident, he said, “I would’ve passed her by. I would not even talk to her. You have to ignore them and talk to everybody else, that hurts more. Cause she got what she want, she got her interview and its viral…”

“She got exactly what she want. I would’ve walked right by her a** and all that yellow hair,” the Big Diesel added.

Michael B Jordan’s “revenge” then gave way to Nichelle Turner speaking up about her being called names. Spice Adams also remembered how he used to be called names earlier. Meanwhile, Shaq doubled down on Nischelle’s accounts of name-calling and said that those names were actually justified.
