Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has said that he will not be coming back to Fast & Furious  set, even after costar Vin Diesel asked him to.

 

Addressing an Instagram post made by Diesel in November in which he pleaded with him to rejoin the beloved movie franchise in an interview with CNN, Dwayne said Diesel's move is "an example of his manipulation."

 

He said; 

 

"I was very surprised by Vin's recent post. This past June, when Vin and I actually connected not over social media, I told him directly — and privately — that I would not be returning to the franchise. I was firm yet cordial with my words and said that I would always be supportive of the cast and always root for the franchise to be successful, but that there was no chance I would return. I privately spoke with my partners at Universal as well, all of whom were very supportive as they understand the problem.

"I didn't like that he brought up his children in the post, as well as Paul Walker's death. Leave them out of it.

"We had spoken months ago about this and came to a clear understanding. My goal all along was to end my amazing journey with this incredible Fast & Furious franchise with gratitude and grace.

"It's unfortunate that this public dialogue has muddied the waters. Regardless, I'm confident in the Fast universe and its ability to consistently deliver for the audience, and I truly wish my former costars and crew members the best of luck and success in the next chapter."

 

Dwayne Johnson says he will

 

Dwayne Johnson and Diesel's feud first came to light in 2016 as they filmed the eighth installment of the long-running franchise, The Fate of the Furious. "Tension has been building up for months" a source told People.

 

Dwayne also wrote a long-deleted Instagram post at the time, calling out his unnamed male costars. 

 

He wrote;

 

"There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. My female costars are always amazing and I love 'em. My male costars, however, are a different story.

"Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't."

 

In an interview with Men's Health in July, Diesel claimed that he used "tough love" on set when it came to Johnson portraying his Fast & Furious character, federal agent Luke Hobbs. 

 

"I could give a lot of tough love. Not Felliniesque, but I would do anything I'd have to do in order to get performances in anything I'm producing," he told the magazine. 

Speaking with Vanity Fair for the magazine's November cover, Dwayne Johnson touched on Diesel's "tough love" comments, telling the outlet; 

 

"One part of me feels like there's no way I would dignify any of that bull---- with an answer.

"I've been around the block a lot of times. Unlike [Diesel], I did not come from the world of theater.

 "And, you know, I came up differently and was raised differently."

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.

Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French.
