“The Doll” was reportedly in the midst of a career expansion and was running a small network of hitmen. She was found by police, along with a minor and another alias known as Leopoldo, when police seized a revolver and a 9mm pistol during the arrest.
It is not yet known what charges Rodriguez and her alleged accomplices will face.
Plaza, who is of Puerto Rican descent, has been known since her early career for her sarcastic and, often morally ambiguous, sense of humor. Speak with The independent in 2021, The White Lotus star opened up about her sardonic public persona, admitting that it has become “a lifelong pickle that I’ve found myself in.”
“I’ve had so many moments where I said something very sincerely and people totally thought I was pranking them,” Plaza said.
“I’m just always interested in the silliness and the strangeness and the creepiness of life,” she added. “I have always made a spectacle of myself in public. I have always humbled myself in large groups of people.”
