Michael Jordan was once ‘curved’ over a premature Hawaii trip

In her memoir, ‘Love Me as I am’, she revealed how much fun she had working with MJ during her early days as a model in New York City.

As picked from her memoir, Beauvais recalls the same and said,

“I was impressed by how tall and handsome he was. He took me on a golf date after the shoot and showed me how to hold a club properly and swing,” she wrote, revealing that the athlete later invited her to go to Hawaii with him, but she declined. “Like a naive little girl, I was ‘clutching my pearls’ and shocked by the idea of going to Hawaii with a man I had just met.”

Looking back at the same, Garcelle confessed and said, “I blew that one up!”
