Now that Fast and Furious 7 has finally hit theaters that world over, Michele Rodriguez is explaining her bizarre behavior over the past year or so. According to the latest gossip news updates, the Resident Evil Instagram bikini model is blaming the mistakes of 2014 -- like dating Cara Delevingne and Zac Efron months apart -- on the sudden death of Paul Walker, whose autopsy revealed was still alive immediately after the crash, in late November of 2013. Fellow Fast franchise cast-mate Vin Diesel recently claimed that he felt it was almost for Universal unfair to ask them to return to complete the film so soon after the tragedy.
After making so many films with Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez recently admitted that she was profoundly affected by his sudden loss -- living a life in the tabloids over the last 16-months that would make stars half her age blush with embarrassment.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Rodriguez revealed that she entered into s spiral of sex and hard-partying to try to ignore her thoughts about life after Walker's death:
"I could see Paul once every two years and just know there was another human on the planet who's deep like me, who loves like that.
"When that disappears, you wonder, 'Wait a minute, what do I hold on to?'
"There was nothing to tether me to this existence: 'Why am I f*cking here? And, like, why'd you leave without me?'"
Michelle went on to explain that things quickly got out of hand as one misdeed seemed to fuel the next and the next:
"I was pushing myself to feel.
"I felt like nothing I could do could make me feel alive, so I just kept pushing myself harder and harder.
"I was traveling and I was having sex. And I was just trying to ignore everything that I was feeling."
According to a Fast franchise production source the April 20, issue of Star Magazine, Rodriguez' raunchy antics had little tr nothing to do with the death of Walker, which Michelle is now using as a hall pass to explain away a more-than-a-years' worth of very questionable behavior:

"Michelle has been a hard partyer for a long time and wasn't nearly as close to him as she pretends.
"She's not fooling anyone who actually knows her or Paul.
"She just wants people to excuse her behavior...it's terrible."
Regardless of whether or not Rodriguez' story holds any water, no one doubts that Vin Diesel was rocked by the sudden loss of his dear friend and Fast and Furious co-star.
In one recent interview to promote the film, Vin claimed that he even felt it was a little inappropriate for Universal to ask them to return to work on the project when they did:
"Oh, my god. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
"I felt like it was unfair to ask us to go back to work in some ways.
"[And] from an actor's point of view it was even harder."
But he still didn't use it as an excuse to have sex with half the supermodels in Hollywood.
