evidence: - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Oprah Winfrey announced a fund to help Maui residents. [...] Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Oprah Winfrey were met with significant backlash when they asked people for donations towards a fundraiser for those affected by the Maui wildfires, as many questioned why they didn't contribute more themselves. But now some fans are coming to their defense as they feel the pair were unfairly vilified for trying to help. [...] On August 31, Johnson and Winfrey took to Instagram and TikTok accounts to announce the People's Fund of Maui, which they said they created inspired by Dolly Parton's philanthropy to raise money for those directly impacted by the wildfires, and appealed to viewers to donate funds.
