Woman’s social media video about The Rock leads to surprise of a lifetime

Click here for updates on this story

    FALLSTON, Maryland (WJZ) — A Maryland woman’s social media video prompted a surprise response from none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Katy Napier, of Fallston, was shopping at a Target earlier this month when she came across a display for Johnson’s men’s care brand, Papatui.

“Don’t give up on your dreams. The Rock is selling shampoo and conditioner, and he’s bald,” Napier said in the 6-second video, which has since gained more than 100 million views.

Johnson responded to the video and sent a box truck carrying about 20 crates of free products to her house, along with a handwritten note. He also gifted the family a trip to Hollywood to attend the premiere of “Moana.”

Johnson, known for his wrestling and acting roles, plays Maui in the live-action adaptation of the 2016 animated movie. He’s also one of the film’s producers.

“My expectations were exceeded,” said Napier. “He was just such a humble man and spent time with me, even though he was late, and he did a reel with me. He remembered it was my son’s first flight to LA, he signed a deodorant for me, took pictures. It was amazing.”

The 45-year-old content creator said the viral video gained her thousands of new followers, and she plans to keep the momentum going by continuing to post authentic, fun and kind content.

Member of Vance’s Secret Service detail under investigation for leaking

▶ Watch Video: Vice President Vance and second lady Usha welcome 4th child Washington — A member of Vice President JD Vance's Secret Service detail is under investigation for leaking sensitive information, the service confirmed Thursday. Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service's chief of communications, did not name the member of the detail or reveal the specifics of the investigation, but said the administrative probe could become a criminal inquiry. "A member of the Vice Presidential Protective Division is the subject of an administrative investigation, and potential criminal inquiry, involving allegations of compromising operational and information security," Guglielmi said in a statement. "While we will not comment on the specifics of this matter, one principle is unequivocal: any conduct that potentially threatens the safety of a protectee will not be tolerated."CNN was first to report the leak investigation. While Guglielmi did not reveal the specific allegations, news of the inquiry comes one week after MS NOW published a story about alleged frustrations by members of Vance's security detail. Citing unnamed sources, the report said that agents "have shared concerns internally about Vance and his office pressing them for trips and assignments that some agents consider an inappropriate or even unprecedented use of government resources compared to prior vice presidents." MS NOW reported that a series of unplanned, so-called "off-the-record" movements had drained morale among agents assigned to protect Vance and his family.As first in line to the presidency, Vance and his family have round-the-clock protective details. The vice president's primary residence is at the Naval Observatory in Washington. CBS News reported earlier this month that the Vance family was preparing to lease an additional house in Middleburg, Virginia, about 40 miles outside the capital, with the Secret Service making additional security arrangements for the property. Usha Vance, the second lady, gave birth to the couple's fourth child over the weekend.
