Dwayne Johnson Slips in Surprise R-Word During His Kevin Hart Roast
Dwayne Johnson made a not-so-shocking appearance last night at Netflix's "The Roast of Kevin Hart" ... but then went hardcore, even dropping the R-word, which, if you know his past, is wild.
The movie star was the last person to light into Kevin before it was the comic's turn to throw zingers at everyone else who'd burned him -- and DJ made it count big time.

Kevin Hart Business Empire No Laughing Matter ... Chaos Behind the Scenes
Kevin Hart's business world might be running low on punchlines ... because behind the scenes, insiders say there have been layoffs, lawsuits, and chaos instead of comedy.
A new Bloomberg report claims the comedian's once-booming media empire, Hartbeat, has seriously downsized in recent years -- with exec shakeups, stalled projects, canceled staff meetings, and multiple rounds of cuts gutting the company from the inside.
The drama reportedly escalated after Kevin quietly struck a deal in January with Authentic Brands Group -- the company behind celebrity brands tied to stars like Shaquille O'Neal and David Beckham.
