Actress, TV host and reality star Claudia Jordan dishes on what it was like sharing a house with an athlete, influencers, fellow reality stars and a comedian on College Hill: Celebrity Edition.
Jordan starred on the third season of the BET+ series and took classes at New Orleans HBCU, Xavier University, alongside Tamar Braxton, Saucy Santana, Angela White, Karlous Miller, and Nick Young.
The former Tea-G-I-F host was roommates with White, formerly known as Blac Chyna, during filming.
In an interview with Urban Hollywood 411, Jordan described White as positive and “real.”
“We quickly bonded. We both like a peaceful environment,” Jordan said. “We’re both the cleanest people in the house. And I really got to know her, like we would be in the room up late at night talking. And she is a beautiful person. She really is.”

Jordan also praised White — who got baptized and ditched OnlyFans in 2023 — for changing her “old ways.”
White announced on Sept. 14, 2023, via social media, that she had been sober for a year.
“And that transformation is real. You know, if anyone that was skeptical of it, it is 100 percent real,” Jordan said.
As for others in the house, Jordan admitted she initially found it challenging dealing with comedian and actor Karlous Miller.
“I wasn’t familiar with Karlous, his brand of comedy. And I’d never seen his podcast before,” she said. “And when we got to the campus, he was clearly a huge deal to the students. They all knew who he was.”
Jordan continued, “He’s very sarcastic and abrasive. I didn’t know if his act in the classroom was an act for attention. Because you never know on these reality shows. I’ve been in reality shows where I’m like, wait, is this real? Are you really, this is you right now? Or is this for the scene? I never really know. So I couldn’t tell.”
The two disagreed on some social issues, but Jordan said there’s no bad blood between them.
“He can be a really sweet person. And I told him, I said, ‘I think you’re a sheep in wolf’s clothing.’ Meaning you’re actually a nice person that is cosplaying as a badass… But you’re really a nice guy deep down and I stand by that was Karlous,” she said.
“He’s smart. I always looked forward to his presentations, because they would be wildly entertaining, even if they’re not factually correct all the way,” she added. “He’s good at what he does.”
Overall, Jordan said she had a positive experience on the show.
“The way the show was done is the way I think more reality shows should follow suit, where you have drama. But it’s not the same tired drama where people are fighting each other and don’t like each other and being mean,” she stated.
“It’s actually a real kind of drama,” she added. “People can relate to someone being late, someone letting you down. It was so well done. And it was very uplifting.”
The season finale of College Hill: Celebrity Edition aired on Thursday, Aug. 1.
