Listen, as a diehard Fast & Furious fan, I have a very high threshold for messiness. But Tyrese Gibson and Dwayne Johnson's feud? That's a disaster that not even I can abide. It all started when Dwayne signed a mysterious business deal in September, which was later revealed to be a Fast & Furious spinoff for him and costar Jason Statham. This really pissed off Tyrese (who plays Roman in the franchise) for some reason, so he started leaving comments on Dwayne's Instagram warning him not to move forward with the franchise and accusing him of ignoring his texts.
In October, the release date for Fast 9 was pushed back because of the spinoff, eliciting another scathing Instagram post about The Rock from Tyrese. Dwayne claimed that his "goal from day 1 was to come in and create an exciting/fun character for the fans," and costar Vin Diesel hopped in to defend him as well. For the most part, it seemed like Dwayne was brushing off Tyrese's series of borderline-unstable Instagrams.
The feud fizzled out when Tyrese found himself embroiled in a high-profile custody battle. If only he'd taken the iconic Dom Toretto's sage advice to heart: "You don't turn your back on family, even when they do."
