Talking about the incident, he said, “I got a call from my publicist, who also, repped Dwayne The Rock Johnson. And she’s like, hey, Dwayne has asked that you remove every picture and video that you’ve done with him. And maybe in the future, you know, the relationship can be reconciled, but for now, he basically wants nothing to do with you.”
