UFC commentator Joe Rogan has been accused of spreading Covid-19 misinformation on his Spotify podcast and after he issued an apology, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson publicly showed support for Rogan. However, a Twitter user brought up how Rogan used the N-word repeatedly during his podcasts and The Rock responded with the following:
“I was not aware of his N word use prior to my comments, but now I’ve become educated to his complete narrative. Learning moment for me.”
Dear @donwinslow
Thank you so much for this
I hear you as well as everyone here 100%
I was not aware of his N word use prior to my comments, but now I've become educated to his complete narrative.

Twitter users started digging into The Rock’s Twitter past and a message he wrote to someone in 2011 resurfaced:
“It’s not our fault you’re turning tranny tricks to put yourself thru nursing school.”
The tweet was deleted but Donald Trump Jr. publicly called out The Rock and wrote the following:
“Wow, @TheRock, you can’t just try to quietly delete transphobic attacks without giving a groveling apology and expect to ever work in Hollywood again. Do @UnderArmour, @Ford, @Apple, @Netflix and the rest of his sponsors/partners agree with this hateful rhetoric?”
“Cancel culture really jumping the shark when longtime friends start throwing each other under the bus to please a half dozen woke douchebags going full fake outrage on Twitter like The Rock did to Joe Rogan. Pathetic!”
Wow, @TheRock, you can’t just try to quietly delete transphobic attacks without giving a groveling apology and expect to ever work in Hollywood again.

Trump Jr. also commented The Rock referring to John Cena as a “bloated transvestite Wonder Woman” during a promo:
“Yikes!!! More transphobia from @TheRock. Starting to notice a pattern here. How do the executives at @UnderArmour, @Ford, @Apple and @Netflix sleep at night when they’re lining their pockets from this type of bigotry and hatred? Unless they agree with it???”
Yikes!!!
