Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is gone. But, not permanently. The Rock and star of hit series “Ballers” has announced that he is taking a break from the series, delaying the release of season 3 by a couple of months.
The reason for the delay, you might ask?
Lauren Hashian is pregnant! Rock’s partner is currently pregnant with his second child. His first child is 14 with ex-wife Dany Garcia.
The reason for the outrage is clear, “The Rock’s” contract for the “Ballers” season 3 does not include a clause for maternity leave. In the year 2016, men do not have the right to maternity leave.Even in ultra-progressive Hollywood, men are not eligible for the same rights as women.In response, The Rock has decided to expose this industry secret and take a stand. Not just for men’s rights, but for women’s right to have their partner around. The Rock took to Facebook to voice his concerns:
I’m taking time off from “Ballers” to help Lauren during her pregnancy and when our little baby is born. This will delay the series for a couple of months, but it will be back soon
The Rock stressed that his move was not political and just wanted to spend time with his partner.
