Flavor Flav Supports Jordan Chiles At The VMAs

Flavor Flav and Chiles first linked on the VMA black carpet at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. Jordan wore a silver Off-White mini dress with black, red, and white striped trimmings on the high neck and around her thighs. She paired the look with matching elbow-length gloves, knee-high tights, and a slicked hair bun. Meanwhile, Flavor Flav wore a pink jacket and pants set with a black tee. He wore a giant pink pendant, a square diamond necklace around his neck, and a black and pink baseball cap.

Megan Thee Stallion opened the show after 8 p.m. ET wearing a Team-USA-inspired leotard. She gave a shout-out to her hotties and “haties” before passing the mic to her stage guests, Jordan Chiles and Flavor Flav.

Flav took a moment to follow through on the promise he made nearly a month ago to gift Jordan a bronze clock necklace. “Something NO ONE else has,” Flav wrote in his X (formerly Twitter) message, encouraging the competitive athlete to “hit” him up! While on stage, he repeated that message.

Recap Of What Happened To Chiles’ Bronze Medal

In August, Jordan Chiles revealed that “one of the most challenging moments” of her career was the International Olympic Committee’s decision to strip her of her bronze medal. Their decision came after a Court of Arbitration ruled to reverse a score change that had bumped Chiles from fifth place to third place.

The ruling came about five days after Jordan Chiles emotionally celebrated her win with her teammates in Paris. USA Gymnastics fought on behalf of Chiles, even submitting video evidence that the Court of Arbitration chose not to consider. Ultimately, her bronze medal was presented instead to Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu, while another Romanian gymnast, Sabrina Maneca-Voinea, placed fourth.

Hours before the VMAs began, Jordan Chiles spoke at a Forbes event about the experience of the stripping. She admitted that she’s still seeking “justice” and “peace” over the situation and explained what was the “biggest thing” taken from her. “The biggest thing that was taken from me was…the recognition of who I was, not just my sport, but the person I am.”
