Claudia Jordan returned to California this week for a high-profile appearance at the BET Awards. In an Instagram post on June 23, she shared a behind-the-scenes snapshot from the Dolby Theatre stage in Los Angeles, writing, “Back in Cali for the BET Awards. Catch the cast of Run on stage showing the world the trailer to our movie hitting theaters August 29th!!” The image captures Jordan alongside her fellow castmates, all smiles as they prepare to give fans their first look at the upcoming action thriller.
Star Power At The Bet Awards
The BET Awards are a cornerstone of achievement in music, film and television, and this year’s ceremony was no exception. Jordan—who first rose to public attention as a finalist on American Idol—stepped out in a custom ivory gown paired with metallic heels and a sleek updo. Her style drew praise from her 1.2 million Instagram followers, many of whom commented on her red-carpet glow. Behind the scenes, Jordan reunited with colleagues from Fox’s Dish Nation, where she’s held a co-hosting role for several seasons. With credits spanning reality favorites like The Real Housewives of Atlanta and daytime talk shows including The View, she remains one of the most versatile personalities in entertainment.
Trailer Tease For ‘run’
When the moment arrived, Jordan and her castmates unveiled the first official trailer for Run. The footage opens with a high-velocity car chase, cuts to tense close-ups of each character, then zeroes in on Jordan delivering a pivotal monologue. As the Dolby Theatre screen lit up, fans in the audience erupted in applause. Jordan’s post caption—”Catch the cast of Run on stage showing the world the trailer to our movie hitting theaters August 29th!!”—racked up thousands of engagements within hours.
Directed by indie standout Maya Thompson, Run follows a group of strangers thrust into a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Social media chatter around the trailer has been explosive, with early reactions praising its tight editing and heart-pounding score. Jordan’s involvement marks a milestone in her transition from reality TV and radio into mainstream feature films. In recent weeks, she also teased her next venture—The Real Deal with Claudia Jordan—an interview series set to drop its first episode in June, promising in-depth conversations with celebrities, athletes and cultural icons.
What’s Next For Jordan
With Run slated for an August 29 theatrical release, Jordan’s summer calendar is jam-packed. She’s lined up late-night talk-show appearances, podcast interviews and fan Q&As at local screenings. In a May Instagram post announcing her interview series, Jordan wrote, “In my 20+ years I’ve learned you don’t always have the luxury of waiting on opportunities to come find you—sometimes you gotta boss up and create your own.” That ethos has driven her career from pageants—she finished third in the Miss Jamaica World contest in 1998—to prime-time TV and national radio.
Offscreen, Jordan remains active in philanthropy, supporting youth arts programs in Atlanta and Los Angeles. The Bronx native regularly mentors aspiring on-camera talent and leads workshops through the Black Women in Film Foundation. Fans eager to catch Run on the big screen can reserve tickets now at major theater chains, while those who tune into The Real Deal will get a front-row seat to Jordan’s next move in entertainment. Whether she’s hosting fashion-week panels, breaking stories for Dish Nation or headlining movie premieres, Claudia Jordan’s star continues to rise—this summer and beyond.
