The pair have faced backlash for their romance, especially since Michele is 17 years older than Jalen–she’s 39 while he is 22.
Many have labeled the Basketball Wives alumni a predator, especially Joe Budden.
Other celebs have criticized the relationship, with actor London Brown calling Michele “passed around goods.”
Others have pointed out Michele’s history of dating celebrities, entertainers, and athletes.
While Jalen Green has mainly kept quiet about the relationship, Michele has clapped back on social media through veiled posts, asking people to mind their own business.
“Get comfortable being misunderstood. Only a fraction of people will be able to truly grasp your essence. You are not on anyone else’s timeline of comprehension. Also, it’s none of your business how others choose to perceive you. Most High sees you clearly – let that be enough.”
