Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s daughter, Ava Raine, drew backlash by making an insensitive comment that appeared to be directed at Charlie Kirk just hours after he was assassinated.
Raine, 24 — who followed in her father’s footsteps as a WWE wrestler — shared an X post from comedian Gianmarco Soresi on her Instagram story, which read, “If you want people to have kind words when you pass, you should say kind things when you’re alive.”
Though the post did not name Kirk, Raine doubled down, adding a comment of her own in a repost on her X account.
“and i’ll stand behind this. be kind, now more than ever,” Raine, whose real name is Simone Johnson, wrote.
Her words — shared just hours after Kirk was assassinated in cold blood in front of thousands at Utah Valley University on Wednesday — sparked swift outrage from WWE fans online.
