The whole Hollywood was shocked when Vin Diesel suddenly spoke out strongly against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s interference in his marriage and family life. The shock was not only because they were close teammates in the Fast & Furious franchise, but also because Vin Diesel bluntly mentioned the extremely sensitive issue: “My irresponsibility and refusal to marry Paloma Jiménez has made things go further, directly affecting my family and work.” An accusation so personal that the public almost did not believe it was actually uttered by Vin himself.

Many people asked: why did Vin Diesel directly mention Paloma Jiménez – his long-time partner and the mother of his children? Why did he drag The Rock into a story that seemed completely private and unrelated to anyone else? And more seriously: has the relationship between the two top Hollywood muscle stars hit rock bottom after years of rumors of discord?

Insider sources said that Vin Diesel has been stressed recently because of constant rumors that The Rock is trying to “influence” his personal decisions, especially about marriage. Some ambiguous posts on social networks have further fueled the online community’s suspicion that there have been hidden arguments between the two for months. When Vin Diesel said the above sentence, the entire entertainment industry immediately exploded because of his rare level of directness and frankness.

However, the more surprising thing is still behind. While public opinion is divided, the media is analyzing every word and every dot of Vin Diesel, a few observant fans have begun to notice the abnormality. Why do all the controversial statements appear right when Vin and The Rock’s new movie is about to be released? Why don’t both of them respond more deeply, nor publicly attack even though they have enough opportunities? And why is the context of the incident exactly like… a media campaign scenario?

Finally, the truth came out: this was all part of a bold promotional campaign that Vin Diesel and The Rock were participating in for their new movie – a large-scale action project where the two played the role of tense rivals, ready to confront each other in both the movie and “real life” to create maximum media effect. All the accusations, the stormy status lines, the unusual appearances were carefully calculated to make the audience believe that their relationship was really broken.

And clearly, it was successful. In just a few hours, the search volume for Vin Diesel, The Rock and the new movie skyrocketed. Netizens argued continuously, the media published a series of analysis articles, and Hollywood once again witnessed the skillful “emotional deception” of the media.

In the end, it turned out that no family was broken, no friendship was ruined – just a perfectly staged movie promotion campaign that the whole world had to believe was real.
