Dwayne Johnson is acknowledging the backlash he faced after launching a fundraiser to help survivors of the Maui wildfires, saying he “could have been better.” In late August, Johnson and Oprah Winfrey launched the People’s Fund of Maui, a fund intended to put money directly into the hands of adults displaced by the deadly wildfires that had ripped through Lahaina and Kula in Maui, Hawaii, earlier that month.
“I understand money ain’t falling out of the sky and it’s not growing on trees, and there’s a lot of people out there who’s living paycheck to paycheck,” he said. “And I get it, and I know what that’s like. I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck. Seven bucks. I know.” He added that he remembers how “easily pissed off” and “frustrated” he felt when he was barely making ends meet himself.
