The Rock waxwork museum makes skin tone fix after criticism

By 239 0

The Grevin Museum in Paris proudly showcased a life-sized wax figure of the famous wrestler-turned-actor, but faced backlash for misrepresenting his skin tone, leading to accusations of “whitewashing.” The Rock himself expressed disappointment, urging the museum to accurately reflect his dual heritage.

Responding promptly, the museum swiftly adjusted the wax figure’s skin tone as a corrective measure. Museum director Yves Delhommeau acknowledged the need for further modifications and anticipated The Rock’s visit to review the changes.

The museum had relied on photographs and videos during the creation process, with artist Stéphane Barret investing extensive effort in perfecting the model, including multiple adjustments to the eyes.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, known for his mixed African American and Samoan heritage, comes from a family deeply rooted in wrestling, as his father, Wayde Douglas Bowles, was a renowned wrestler himself. The Rock’s representatives were approached for additional comments.

Spanish Restraining Order Issued to Luis Rubiales Following World Cup Kiss Incident

By 181 0

A Spanish court has issued a restraining order against Luis Rubiales, the former head of Spain’s football federation, preventing him from approaching footballer Jenni Hermoso within 200 meters.

The order came as the court considers allegations of sexual assault and coercion against Rubiales after he kissed Hermoso on the lips following Spain’s Women’s World Cup victory. Rubiales denies the accusations, insisting the kiss was consensual.

He recently resigned from his position, and this incident has cast a shadow over the national team, leading to ongoing disputes and a potential boycott. Prosecutors have submitted charges of sexual assault and coercion, citing pressure on Hermoso to defend Rubiales after the incident.

The case’s outcome may be influenced by Spain’s recent legal reforms regarding consent. Hermoso is set to provide testimony, and videos from the event will be crucial in determining if the case goes to trial.
