Dwayne Johnson has become an icon among Hollywood celebrities, after leaving the WWE and taking his talents to Hollywood. However, The Rock has been facing a lot of backlash after his failed attempt to promote his latest movie, Black Adam.

He was called out by the fans after he called the DC Extended Universe, “The Black Adam DC Universe” in an Instagram post. And now it seems like Johnson might be under fire once again as he quoted the controversial Andrew Tate in a video.

Dwayne Johnson quotes Andrew Tate

In an Instagram video, The Rock stated that he heard a quote that he would like to share with his fans. He then went on to quote Tate’s famous gym speech.

“The Person who goes to the gym regardless of how they feel will always beat the person who goes to the gym when they feel like going to the gym.” He said.

Although there isn’t much wrong with the quote itself, Johnson could come under fire for this because Tate has been labeled a ‘misogynist
by many people and is constantly attracting controversy for his over-the-top statements.

Is Tate a ‘misogynist’?

There have been many interviews where Tate has made statements that could be deemed as sexist. The former kickboxer was called out for his statement on the Barstool podcast, where he claimed that a man needs to have complete authority over women.

“I believe as a man I should pay for the first date, I believe I should open the car door, protect her, provide, I believe she is my woman, she should come to me with her problems and I should fix them, that makes me a sexist and horrible person, fine. You agree with the baseline and everyone agrees with the foundations of what I say but, when I build on top of it, they try to pretend I am sexist. By extension, if I have responsibility over her, then I must have a degree of authority.” He said.

Moreover, there was also a video released in 2016 where Tate was seen striking a woman, which led to him being kicked off the reality TV show Big Brother. Tate later claimed that it was ‘roleplay’ and was done with the consent of the woman.

Whether you agree or disagree with Tate, he is a polarizing figure and a hotbed for controversy, only gaining more infamy as time goes by.
