Simone Alexandra Garcia Johnson, known publicly as Ava and daughter of actor and wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, expressed strong opposition to the Trump administration on the social media platform X on Sunday. Using a middle finger emoji, she directed her anger specifically at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the former White House leadership, marking a public show of discontent linked to her departure from WWE.
Her post read,
“And now that I can say this with my full chest, [middle finger emoji] ICE and that entire administration,”
Ava stated, before apparently removing her entire X account shortly afterward, according to TMZ.
Exit from WWE Precedes New Bold Online Statements
Recently, Ava decided not to renew her contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, where she had been signed since 2020. This development appears to have coincided with a newfound freedom to voice her political opinions more openly, a liberty she seemed to embrace with her provocative social media activity. Her critical stance aligns with other celebrities who have voiced frustration over federal law enforcement actions, specifically targeting agencies like ICE.
Reactions from Social Media Users and Ongoing Criticism
Many X users responded with mockery and criticism of Ava’s declarations. One user remarked,
“Gave up her ‘career’ so she could throw tantrums on the internet.”
Another commented,
“Ava is being political and hit rock bottom,”
adding a GIF of The Rock with the phrase Shut up, bitch.
Additional detractors accused Ava of defending criminals, posting,
“Aw little nepo baby throwing a tantrum trying to protect rapists and murderers,”
and emphasized, “ICE is necessary and needed.” One sarcastic reply urged her to “Cry harder,” paired with a GIF of former President Donald Trump waving goodbye.
Another X user leveled harsh accusations by stating,
“Your legacy in the WWE will forever be known as a radical leftist domestic terrorist who condones violence against political opponents,”
and added,
“May you live with shame all the days you walk on this earth, there is no forgiveness for your disrespect of Charlie Kirk.”
Controversy Surrounding Comments After Charlie Kirk’s Death
The reference to Charlie Kirk traces back to a post Ava shared on September 10, shortly after the Turning Point USA founder was assassinated. She reposted a quote from comedian Gianmarco Soresi on her Instagram story that said,
“If you want people to have kind words when you pass, you should say kind things when you’re alive.”
Though the quote did not name Kirk directly, its timing drew widespread criticism.
Ava further supported the message with her own comment on X, emphasizing,
“and i’ll stand behind this. be kind, now more than ever.”
Many viewed this as a veiled threat tied to the tense political climate following Kirk’s death, sparking debate about her intentions and tone.
Ongoing Impact and Public Backlash
Ava’s outspoken political behavior, particularly related to federal agencies and high-profile figures, has generated significant backlash across social networks. Fans of WWE and followers of her family have expressed disappointment and anger, fracturing support for her public image. Given her prominence as the daughter of The Rock and her relatively recent exit from professional wrestling, her comments have amplified attention to the ongoing polarization on social media platforms.
Moving forward, Ava’s social media presence and political remarks will likely continue to provoke heated discussion, reflecting broader divisions present in American public discourse around law enforcement and partisan leadership.
