An opinion piece.

From Lori Harvey’s public Instagram

I usually don’t comment on celebrity gossip and rumors, but I want to bring fresh air to this situation. My Twitter feed is flooded with thoughts and opinions about Lori Harvey’s new “relationship” with Snowfall actor Damson Idris with her last “relationship” with CREED actor and director Michael B.

I don’t know where she purchased her thick skin, but I hope she lets us know soon.
