Whatever he ended up doing, it put Rodriguez’s fears to rest, and she’s stuck with the franchise ever since following its informal relaunch with Fast & Furious, which saw her, Vin Diesel and the rest of the “old gang” reunite.
During an interview with The Daily Beast, Michelle Rodriguez explained how she original didn’t pay much attention to The Fast and the Furious’ script, as she figured if there was a problem, she could talk to the director, like she did with her earlier movie, Girlfight.
However, she sound learned it didn’t work that way in major Hollywood productions, and when she grew concerned about Lety Ortiz looking like a “slut” in that initial story.
She threatened to walk away, but Vin Diesel, who played her boyfriend/future husband Dominic Toretto, pulled her aside and assured her that he’d have her back, saying he would handle this issue, admitting that this plot point also made his character look back.
