As we previously reported, a judge issued an arrest warrant for two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair Tuesday. Flair has since issued his first public statement regarding the situation.

PWMania.com is reporting that Flair gave his first statement to the Charlotte Observer. He said,

“The reason I didn’t pay my ex-wife the 32 grand is because my son died and I was in the hospital for a month. I was in the hospital for a month with a blood clot. I didn’t go to work for three months.”

Jackqueline Beems, Flair’s ex-wife, turned herself into police Tuesday morning on charges of harrassing Flair’s current girlfriend, Wendy Kidder. Beems’ lawyer stated that the allegations are “unfounded and outlandish.”

Ric Flair also sent in a comment on that situation, saying,

“My girlfriend Wendy Kidder is the mother of four and she has 50 texts and five phone (voice-)mails from my ex-wife. They didn’t give Wendy a warrant for arrest without looking at all of that stuff.”
