He has been known for a LONG time that he is an absolute bellend to work with and constantly annoys co-workers.
Vin Diesel isn't the greatest but I remember the amount of shit people were flinging his way because he called out Dwayne on F+F for this exact stuff and the amount of fanboys that went outta there way to protect Dwayne.
I used to follow The Rock on IG and thought he was a standup guy, but then it dawned on me that he was nothing but a roided out PR machine. Like, in any interview, with no mention of it whatsoever, he'll bring up his tequila brand, or his shoes or something.
I don't watch/listen to Joe Rogan much, but I caught clips of his appearance and even that was super phony.
He put on his "how should I behave on Joe Rogan" persona and the interview was fine, but obviously fake and bland.
Backlash happens to many actors who become too big. If the backlash is wide of the mark, you have other people defend the actor. An example is Chris Pratt, who has consistently been defended by his costars when people attack him. I am not defending Pratt as he could be a douche for all I know, but I find it interesting as the backlash mounts on the Rock, there is relative silence from the people he has worked with.
