Jordyn Woodruff is an American-born entertainment reporter and TikTok star, who rose to stardom for reacting to events and people on TikTok. She’s known for her past affiliation with the sports and pop culture blog, Barstool Sports, for and co-hosting the “Mean Girl” podcast.
Age, Early Life, and Education Background
Jordyn is a native of Minnesota, who was born under the Gemini zodiac sign on 14 June 1995, which makes her 28 years old as of early 2024. She’s the daughter of Tracy Woodruff but hasn’t disclosed her dad’s name. Jordyn spent her childhood in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Woodruff is an alumnus of North Dakota State University, from where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Strategic Communication with a minor in Management Communications and Wellness (2013-2017). During her college days, the Minnesota native was a social co-ordinator of the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority. She was also a member of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) from 2014 to 2017. In 2015, Woodruff briefly studied abroad at the Queensland, Australia-based University of the Sunshine Coast.
Interests
Jordyn is keen on volunteering, and has been associated with Northfield Community Action Center’s Thursday’s Table since October 2011. Moreover, she’s volunteered as an assistant coach at the non-profit organization Girls on the Run.
Career Beginnings
Shortly after completing her studies, Woodruff joined EPIC Management Fargo, where she worked as a Social Media and Marketing Intern. From 2017 to 2019, she served as a New Business Analyst and Commercial Risk Advisor for the management consulting firm, Aon. She went on to work as an Assistant Strategist at Hearts & Science, before she began working with Barstool Sports. At Barstool, Woodruff co-hosted the podcast “Mean Girl,” in which guests were invited to have honest conversations about friendship, sex, mental health, and the experiences of living in New York City as outsiders; her co-host was Alex Bennett.
“Mean Girl” Podcast Drama
Barstool Sports laid off over 100 employees after losing gaming licenses in several US states in late 2023 – many commented that they wanted Alex and Jordyn to lose their jobs after learning about the layoffs. When the duo returned to work on 5 September 2023, they uploaded an X (formerly Twitter) video captioned ‘When you show up to work Monday not fired even though all the Stoolies wish you were.’ The video featured them smiling as they triumphantly walked through the office door. Most of the employees who had been laid off, including the blogger Chris Klemmer, (who was almost fired by the firm’s founder, Dave Portnoy, for tweeting ‘This is such a sh–ty and tone-deaf tweet’ in response to Jordyn and Alex’s video) took offense to their tweet, which prompted Jordyn to delete the post and apologize to them. Nonetheless, this didn’t stop other Barstool Sports employees from voicing their discontentment.
A few days later on 12 September that year, Barstool reported that they would be laying off the ‘Mean Girl’ hosts; it’s not clear whether the duo was fired because of the drama. Portnoy shortly afterward addressed the issue, stating that the duo had left the firm because he’d decided not to renew their contracts. In October 2023, Woodruff joined Just Media House to serve as a Chief Operating Officer, after her tenure at Barstool Sports ended.
