“Sorry she’s experiencing that”: Dwayne Johnson Is Absolutely Gutted to See His Loyal Fans Getting Scammed on Social Media
Apart from being one of the richest stars in Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson has some of the most loyal and supportive fans across the globe.
The former WWE champion-turned-action superstar has regaled viewers in the wrestling ring as well as on the big screen with his charismatic presence. The Rock is also seen as a big role model for health and fitness and has constantly used his social media handles to encourage and guide aspiring fans to work on being the best version of themselves.

Johnson is also someone who thrives on his interactions with fans. While recently creating a new Instagram video about pre-workout supplements, the celebrity was disillusioned to know that many of his loyal followers were victims of online scams that used his name to con people. The Scorpion King star addressed this and regretted these actions that used his identity.
Part of Dwayne Johnson’s aura with the public is the fact that he has always been an actor who respects his fans and supporters. The Black Adam star has frequently used his influence to interact with his fan base regarding fitness, health, and many other aspects of life. In this capacity, Johnson was taken aback when a recent comment from a fan upset him.
Dwayne Johnson warned fans of online scams using his name
While promoting his pre-workout supplement from his company ZOA, the Jumanji 2 actor addressed a comment from a fan whose mother claimed to have gotten a message from The Rock regarding a gift that she was supposed to receive from the action star and was unsure about the authenticity of the message. Johnson, on reading this, admitted that this was a scam using his name. Replying to the fan through his Instagram handle, the star said,
“Tell your mom unfortunately there are so many people claiming to be me on social. Sorry she’s experiencing that”
The WWE champion advised his fans to keep a lookout for these kinds of deceitful acts and assured them that anything that he promised to his supporters would always go through his authentic and verified social platforms.
WWE champion turned action star Dwayne Johnson is always known to live life king-size. The Black Adam actor has proved that his heart is as big as his presence by making a staggering contribution to the ongoing Actors Strike. In July 2023, The Rock donated a historic 7-figure amount which is said to be around $50 million, to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Emergency Financial Assistance and Disaster Relief Fund. This is the single largest donation ever made by any individual for the cause.

SAG-AFTRA President Courtney Vance who drafted the initial letter of financial support to 2700 of Hollywood’s highest-earning actors, said that it was Dwayne Johnson and his team who got the ball rolling by being the first to step up and offer support. Not only did the action star agree to contribute, but he backed it up by making a staggering donation to the cause. Speaking to Variety about the former wrestling champion’s impact on the ongoing Strike, Vance said,
“This is him saying, ‘In such a time as this, I’m here and I’m not going anywhere, whatever you need me to do.’ And that sends a huge message to other folks to do the same thing.”
Following Dwayne Johnson’s generous contribution, many A-listers from the industry followed suit and lent their unwavering support to the Writers and Actors Strike through their significant donations.
