Michael Jordan’s daughter Jasmine has addressed a question many fans had on their minds after watching ESPN’s “The Last Dance”: Where was Juanita Vanoy?
In an interview with Essence published Tuesday, Jasmine Jordan responded to speculation about her mother’s glaring absence from the hit docuseries, saying, “There’s no need to go down memory lane.”
But any real mention of or appearance from Vanoy was notably missing from the 10-part documentary, which featured some of Michael Jordan’s past controversies, insight on his life growing up, and interviews with some of his family members, former teammates and closest friends.
Jasmine Jordan told The Associated Press last week that she was surprised by her father’s openness throughout the docuseries, describing him as “very private.”
In 2013, Michael Jordan married his wife, Yvette Prieto, who was also not featured in the docuseries.
