In a 2017 interview with The Daily Beast, Michelle Rodriguez opened up about the incident. At first the actors were pitched that Letty (Michelle) would be cheating on Dominic (Vin) with his best friend Brian O’Conner, the character played by late actor Paul Walker. Recalling the incident how it made her feel disgusted, she said, “I basically cried and said, I’m going to quit and, ‘Don’t sue me, please — I’m sorry, but I can’t do this in front of millions of people.’ My whole point in being an actress is that I thought I got to live a dream. And I don’t dream about being a sl*t! Do you?!”

Talking about the same, Michelle shared, “Vin was the first one to pull me to the side while I was crying, and he just looked at me and said, ‘I got your back. Chill out and let me handle this, and you’re right — it makes me look bad anyway.’ And there you go. That was the beginning of the Letty fairytale.”
