The video-clip editing service Grabien doesn’t have any instances of CNN reporting it on-air. Johnson has also been active on social media since June 15. On Wednesday, he shared an image on Instagram of an upcoming People Magazine cover featuring him. He also quote-tweeted a People Magazine tweet about the outlet’s upcoming issue, saying in part, Appreciate you @people for choosing this big, brown, bald, tattooed T-Rex for your cover. Check Your Fact conducted a reverse image search and found that the photo of him allegedly being arrested actually comes from the 2016 movie Central Intelligence . Johnson shared the picture of him in character on his Instagram account in July 2015.
