Actor and renowned star Dwayne Johnson is in the midst of some trending storylines, to say the least.
The most serious of these is the claim that Johnson and his business partner, Dany Garcia, kidnapped a former wrestler by the name of Trenesha Biggers. Biggers just moved forward with a $3 billion lawsuit that names more than a dozen defendants. In the lawsuit, she claims that Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia hired men to forcibly evict her from her house in Tampa Bay, and then they drove her to a Miami hotel where she was physically and emotionally abused. Johnson and Garcia deny any wrongdoing in the case and recently released a joint statement, sharing that they “look forward to clearing their names” in court.
Outside of the looming lawsuit and potential court date, Dwayne The Rock Johnson has also been in the news for several entertainment projects, some of which have gone south. Johnson’s NBC sitcom Young Rock, which followed the story of him and his life before becoming a famous movie star– including the relationship with his father, Rocky Johnson, and his life in the WWE– was canceled.
In addition, The Rock rejoined the Fast & Furious franchise and confirmed that he and Vin Diesel had worked out their issues. However, one report indicates that Johnson is “having a hard time getting the green light” for movies and that he was essentially forced to come back to Fast & Furious.
