Michelle Thomas was 24 Years Old With A 16 Year Old Jaleel White (Allegedly).

Although Jaleel is trying to protect her legacy and image by saying that they were never intimate but like "brother & sister" or "friends" it is still weird that a grown woman like Michelle would sign up to play the girlfriend of a young teenager 8 years younger than she was (allegedly). There were literally scenes on the show where her character Myra would chase Urkel around and try to force him to have sex with her (allegedly). Even though it's "acting" it is still creepy (allegedly).

It was worse on The Facts of Life, where the guys they got to play the boyfriends (Steve, Eddie, and "Romeo") were 25, while Lisa was 15 and Nancy M was just 14.
