Who is Jasmine's dad supposed to be?


There is this part at the beginning of the movie where Jasmine and her parents get pulled over by a cop. Jasmine is all "Do you know who my dad is???" I'm assuming he is supposed to be a professional athlete of some sort. Does anyone know?

I wish I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles and we'd all eat and be happy!

He was supposed to be a famous boxer.

She's my least favorite troop member. If I were her parents, I'd be soooo embarrassed by her behavior! They make a weak attempt to stop her.

What?!?! She was my favorite troop member. I loved her outgoing personality and I always laugh when she tells that cop off.

Rewatching this last night now a 31 year old black woman, I never realized how annoying and stereotypical her character was with all the head rolling and sass. So embarrassing. I was 6 and of course did not notice this at the time...

I'm rewatching it tonight, now at 24 years of age and had this exact reaction. Awful trope of a character.

FYI, the actor played a character on Seinfeld that George said looked like Sugar Ray Leonard, which is who I thought it was in this movie until the camera zoomed in.
