A few months ago, someone posted a video of Damson Idris and Lori Harvey at a concert. Damson had his arms wrapped around Lori and he seemed totally into her, kissing her and being demonstrative. A lot of women noted that Lori didn’t seem totally into it and I thought that as well – while she enjoyed his attention, she was already over it in some way. Considering Damson was basically her rebound after she dumped Michael B. Jordan – and Damson and MBJ were reportedly friends too – it’s not a surprise to learn that Lori is now officially done with Damson.
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris have gone their separate ways after a little more than one year of dating. In a joint statement shared exclusively with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, Harvey and Idris said, “We are at a point in our lives where our individual paths require our full attention and dedication. We part ways remaining friends with nothing but love and respect for each other and the time we shared together.”
The model and Snowfall star initially sparked dating rumors in December last year when they were spotted leaving a West Hollywood restaurant together. The following month, the pair seemingly confirmed their romance on social media when Idris shared a photo of them on his Instagram Story. The two could be seen embracing in the photo as the Outside the Wire actor kissed Harvey on the cheek. Idris also wrote in the post, “Happy Birthday Nunu” followed by a red heart emoji. At the time, Harvey reposted the photo, adding a trio of white hearts to her post.
Lori is 26 years old and a baller. She’s the epitome of “know your worth.” The fact that MBJ was ready to marry her and she listened to her own inner voice and decided she wasn’t ready? That continues to be amazing to me. She was a million times more serious about MBJ than Damson too. Anyway, I hope Damson isn’t too broken up about it. Lori breaks hearts wherever she goes.

Her dad raised her to understand and acknowledge her worth. Remember his book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man? He showed some of the manipulative tactics men use to get women to devalue themselves.
I did not know about his book. It’s now on my list of Secret Santa books to send to woman who are devaluing themselves for a partner.
Lori Havey is gorgeous.
I am paraphrasing another more knowledgeable commenter whose take was that, given that Lori’s mother managed to get Steve Harvey to marry her with no pre-nup and give his last name to her children from another relationship, the person Lori
learned most from is probably not Steve.
Love her game and her confidence. Her face is gorgeous.
Awww another break up. This is the year for it. Damn she’s gorgeous. Hell, so is he. That is one beautiful couple.
Yea she totally dumped him. I wonder if she has her sights already set on someone new and I can’t wait to see who it is.
I think she may have held on to the relationship longer than intended because the innanet like to try to trash her for “dating around”.
And isn’t that just a shame- my first thought after reading was, “You GO, girl!!”
Ugh, I hate that sh*t. She can date around as long as she likes with whoever she likes. If she chooses to settle with anyone, it will be up to her not anyone else.
Good for her! He’s cute or whatever, but she needs someone more. Get Lori!! She’s beautiful, rich, and young, she can do wtf she wants!
She was waayy too young for MBJ anyways. Sorry Damson, onto the next! Lori seems like she’s not in the phase in her life to settle down and that’s totally fine. Hope she’s doing well.
That is a stunning woman.
Why do I think if this was a man the praise would have turned into a slam?
