The latest from TMZ, spoilered for length:
Vin Diesel got the hell out of Dodge ... minutes after wrapping his final scene in "Fast 8" ... and we've learned his feud with The Rock is NOT resolved.
Production sources tell TMZ ... Vin finished filming his scenes, with The Rock, no less, at 1 AM Wednesday and almost as soon as the director called cut Vin gathered everyone and said he was leaving. During his speech he said, "Daddy's gone" ... Vin thinks of himself as the father figure on set.
Our sources say earlier in the day, Vin confronted Rock over the disparaging comments he made about his male co-stars. Although Rock didn't name names, we know he was referring to Vin.
We're told Vin went to Rock's trailer and demanded to know why he was talking trash. The 2 spoke privately inside but we're told they did not squash their beef. One source intimately familiar with the actors tells us it's all about big egos.
As for Vin, he didn't leave anyone high and dry. We're told after shooting his last scene the studio cleared him to leave.
As for The Rock ... he shoots his last scene Thursday. The movie is a week away from being fully wrapped.
Yeah that was the weird thing when he specifically mentioned his "male co stars" it was specific but at the same time broad.Wouldn't surprise me if both guys have their faults and are in the wrong here. It's tough when big egos clash, and both guys have big egos.
The Rock for example didn't have to put his male co-stars on blast on Instagram. Because for the ones who were doing their job and not causing trouble, since he didn't say who he was talking about, the public and the industry think he could be talking about any of the leading male cast members.
Now maybe Vin Diesel is asserting a lot of control over the project, and maybe that's upsetting The Rock.
I mean this franchise is in its 8th film now. Think about that. How often does a single film series get up to eight installments like this, plus with a lot of the same actors. Harry Potter I guess is one. MCU doesn't really count for all the separate solo franchises.
I like the Rock, but I personally feel like this whole thing was a d**k move on his part. Maybe Vin is a total a**hole to work with, I don't know. But like Vile said, the Rock's vague statement throws shade at every male actor in the film, whether it was intentional or not. Furthermore, Vin has been part of the franchise for a long time, and to my knowledge, no other actors have ever said anything bad about working with him, so it kinda just makes the Rock look like a drama queen.
Vin Diesel is a social media marketing genius. Rock in the last 2 years also used twitter and instagram for promotion. The Rock now even has a youtube channel.Dramaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I still wouldnt be surprised if this is all fake to drum up buzz. I dont know why they would do it because at this point the movies sell themselves
.
It's probably all ******** that will lead to a match at Wrestlemania, god knows Vince could use all the help he can get to get some eyes on WWE.
See, I lose respect for any dude that actually gets into a social media war. Not to be overtly sexist, but it's more of a chick thing to me.![]()

A pro who publicly aired dirty laundry. Not as much as a pro as he should be.

In the original script for Fast Five, Dom gets his ass kicked by Hobbs, but that was changed caise "Vin doesnt like that", so it took them three days to come up with what we saw.

Doesn't surprise me if true. The series should've stopped at 7 anyways it had the perfect ending. Paul IMO kept that series alive back when Vin didn't want to do the sequel and they should've ended it at 7.
