Draya Michele, 40, is slamming a TikToker, dubbing them an “ageist’ for commenting on her 17-year age gap relationship with 23-year-old NBA player Jalen Green, with whom she shares a 1-year-old daughter named Lyte Green.

On Friday (July 25), a content creator, who goes by the name boujeebrownskin on TikTok, reacted to a video of Draya and Jalen talking about their relationship, question and answer style. In the specific clip reviewed, Jalen asks Draya, “What do I always forget to pack when I travel?” She replied, “Underwear.”
Jalen disagreed and claimed, “What? No. I’ll probably forget some socks, deodorant, or something. I might forget my deodorant or maybe a charger. Never underwear. That’s crazy.” Draya looked at him as if she didn’t believe him and just said, “Okay.”
TikToker Slams Draya Michele And Jalen Green’s ‘Weird’ 17-Year Age Gap Relationship
Reacting, the TikToker said, “Wow. What a lovely, wholesome conversation between a mother and her son. I love it.” He then proceeded to engage in dialogue with a hypothetical person and said, “You said what? They’re a couple? A couple of what? They’re together? Like, together in this interview, right? A baby? Is he not the baby? Ain’t she 40?'”
The TikToker returned to the audience and said:
“And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I assume happens when people that have no idea who either of these people are watch these interviews that they continuously push onto us. I’m sure whoever put them up to this interview wanted us to see the real relationship. Wanted us to see the dynamic between them two to try to sell us this whole thing. But, unfortunately, that just had the absolute opposite effect.
At one point in this interview, she made a joke about having a driver’s license longer than he has been alive. You had legal credentials that allowed you to be behind the wheel of a f**king automobile before he was even conceived. So, it’s the fact that you are aware that he is significantly younger than you, and you think that it’s a joke.
Like, it is clear that you are leaning into this intentional age gap that y’all have. And I think that that’s pretty f**king weird. Because, no matter how much y’all try to sell this relationship to us, the dynamic is always going to be that of a f**king mother and her son. Like, there’s no way that she can’t feel like she’s raising another child. Like, he forgets to pack f**king underwear.

Draya Michele, 40, Blasts TikToker Criticizing 17-Year Age Gap Relationship With Jalen Green, 23
After seeing the TikToker’s video about her and Jalen, Draya clapped back in his comment section. On Sunday (July 27), she fired off:
“You on your how manyeth video about me? You’re on my D**K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Relax. Are you monetizing on this when you’re not door dash driving? Nobody is selling sh*t to you. My relationship is MINE … It’s weird that you’re soooo bothered by it. I know you getting views but damn you’re tiring.”
In a second comment under the same video, Draya continued:
“One more thing … this is AGEIST !! No different from being homophobic — you can’t be woke about one thing, babe and not the other. Discrimination is discrimination. Imagine if somebody told you couldn’t love who you wanted to because they felt like it was ‘wrong.'”
TikToker Continues To Drag Draya Michele, 40, After Criticizing Her And Jalen Green, 23
On Monday (July 28) after seeing Draya’s comments, the TikToker ended up directly replying to her second comment with another video. He began by laughing and said:
“Draya, are you serious? So, I saw this comment yesterday when I was outside—and not DoorDashing like you said I did in your previous comment. You said that I must be monetized on here and doing DoorDash on the side. Yeah, I saw that comment too. Did you just compare ageism to homophobia? Like, you actually typed this and then hit send?
First of all, there is a word for what you’re doing with that young man, and it’s not ageism. It’s starts with a ‘p.’ And if you were a man, that is the word that people would use to describe you, sister. Like, you making the conscious decision to talk to somebody significantly younger than you, and me calling it out, is not ageist, babe.
‘Discrimination is discrimination?’ You are actually cuckoo. When you were 20 he was 3. You were literally an adult and he was still a f**king toddler. But, you know what, girlie pop? I’mma let you live. You clearly have a proven track record of not making smart decisions. You leaving this comment is one of them. However, I won’t talk about your relationship anymore. ‘You got it girl. You got it.'”
On Tuesday (July 29), the TikToker shared one more video about the couple. Reacting to a post from TheNeighborhoodTalk reporting on the back-and-forth, the creator said:
“You see, this is why every battle does not need to be fought. Like, not only did you choose to engage in commentary that everybody on the f**king internet has had about you, you decided to comment some dumb a** bullsh*t. Now, everybody is calling you f**king stupid.
Like, you really could have just been f**king on that boy in peace, running up that NBA check, living your best f**king life. But, because you’re so desperate for attention, you decided to flaunt this relationship to the world.
Now, the world has opinions. And to everybody that was saying I held back in my response to Draya, this is exactly why I held the f**k back. Because the optics of me being a gay man, calling Draya everything but a child of f**king God would not have played out in my favor. So, I let her dig the hole for herself.”
