Dwayne Johnson Faces $3 Billion Kidnapping Lawsuit

Former pro wrestler turned Hollywood star, Dwayne Johnson, is facing a major legal battle as he finds himself at the center of a $3 billion kidnapping lawsuit.

Known for his clean reputation and iconic bald head, Johnson's public image is carefully crafted to match the characters he portrays on screen.

However, this recent scandal threatens to tarnish his hard-earned image.

The lawsuit was brought against Johnson by fellow former pro-WWE wrestler Trenesha Biggers, also known as Rhaka Khan.

Court documents obtained by Snopes revealed that Johnson has been listed as a defendant in the kidnapping lawsuit.

The allegations revolve around an incident involving Biggers and her two children at the Brighter Tomorrows Domestic Violence Shelter.

Biggers, who previously accused her ex-boyfriend and wrestler Kurt Angle of domestic violence, claims that Angle aided and abetted the kidnapping allegations she has put forth in her lawsuit.

Johnson, along with hundreds of other individuals and entities, including celebrities like Eminem, Michael Jordan, and Tyra Banks, are named as defendants in the case.

In her lawsuit, Biggers also accuses her ex-husband, Ephram Sims, of stalking and kidnapping her and her children across state lines.

She alleges that law enforcement and all the named defendants, including Johnson, assisted in these efforts.

The lawsuit includes nearly 400 named defendants, ranging from famous personalities to companies such as Universal Studios, Gap, and McDonald's.

Although Johnson is named as a defendant, he is not specifically referenced by name in the written account of Biggers' statement or timeline of events.

Instead, he is listed as one of the many individuals and entities that allegedly terrorized Biggers with the help of law enforcement.

It is important to note that the case has since been dismissed by United States District Court Judge, Laura Taylor Swain, in June 2023.

While Johnson's reputation has remained largely untarnished throughout his career, this kidnapping lawsuit raises questions about the off-screen actions of celebrities and the impact they can have on their public image.

As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how Johnson will navigate these allegations and protect his carefully cultivated persona.
