Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s daughter, Ava Raine, faced criticism for making an insensitive remark seemingly aimed at Charlie Kirk shortly after he was assassinated.

Raine, 24 — who followed her father’s path as a WWE wrestler — posted an X post from comedian Gianmarco Soresi on her Instagram story, which stated, “If you want people to have kind words when you pass, you should say kind things when you’re alive.”

Though the post did not name Kirk, Raine doubled down, adding a comment of her own in a repost on her X account.

“and i’ll stand behind this. be kind, now more than ever,” Raine, whose real name is Simone Johnson, wrote.

Her comment — shared just hours after Kirk was assassinated in front of thousands at Utah Valley University on Wednesday — quickly drew outrage from WWE fans online.

“Be kind or get assassinated?? I’m sure you’ve said something unkind I know your dad has what an idiotic statement,” one user wrote.

“@WWE @TKOGrp does tko and wwe stand behind this?” another user questioned.

“If your ass ain’t unemployed by the end of the day this shifts to WWE itself. If TKO wants to stand behind some Nepobaby and lose customers, that’s their issue,” One upset fan replied on her post.

A number of fans replied to Raine’s post with the viral gif of her father shouting, “Shut up bitch” into a microphone during a wrestling match.

Others also pointed out that she may be less afraid of facing backlash from the WWE because of her “Nepo baby” status.

A handful of critics who mocked the Turning Point USA founder’s death have been fired from their jobs for posting insensitive and offensive comments following Kirk’s tragic assassination on Wednesday.

The Carolina Panthers fired football communications coordinator Charlie Rock on Thursday for making an  “insensitive social media post” following the fatal shooting of the conservative activist.

MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd was fired from the network for strangely suggesting during the immediate coverage of Kirk’s murder that one of his supporters could have killed Kirk by firing a gun in “celebration.”

The Joe Burrow Foundation fired board member and Ohio judge Ted Berry from his position over insensitive comments he made online regarding Kirk’s death.

New York school cop Tanisha Blanche was yanked from her job at Somers Intermediate School in Somers in Westchester County after her sick comments regarding Wednesday’s tragic shooting, which the school said “glorifies violence.”

While some have been accused of making insensitive and disturbing comments about the assassinations, others have chosen to honor Kirk’s legacy.

The New York Yankees held a moment of silence for Kirk before their game on Thursday.

At the Jets game on Sunday, photos of Kirk, his wife, and their children were shown on the videoboard.

The only NFL teams not to hold a moment of silence for Kirk on Sunday were the Bengals, Lions, Colts, Vikings and Ravens.

This comes after the league revealed that the individual teams would make decisions on whether to hold moments of remembrance for Kirk moving forward.

Tyler Robinson, 22, has been identified as Kirk’s alleged assassin, and he’s expected to be charged with aggravated murder.

Officials believe Robinson, who was named Friday as the suspect in the conservative influencer’s assassination, acted alone

In Utah, aggravated murder is the only crime for which the death penalty is a sentencing possibility, and the prosecution must specifically seek it out.
