Charlotte on People Making Fun of Her for Her Divorce, Pressure of Being a Flair

Charlotte spoke with Arm Drag Takedown with Pollo Del Mar about people making fun of her divorce and the pressure of being a Flair.

Charlotte spoke about her divorce in the book she and father Ric Flair recently released. She commented on people making fun of her for the divorce around the time she started with WWE:

“It really got to me when I first started in WWE that people would make fun of me being divorced. My dad has been divorced so many times. I don’t know why it bothered me. I don’t know whether it’s because I hate failing or I was embarrassed or comparing myself to my female peers — I don’t know. But to just get that off my chest, explain what I’ve been through or what I’ve learned, [how] I’ve come out a better person. I think that was the hardest part to share.”

Charlotte spoke next on how the death of her brother Reid Flair affected her:

“I don’t think I’ll ever put losing my little brother to rest, because I have so much guilt. Just the fact he has never seen me on the main roster is so hard — like I deal with it every, single day.”

Finally, Charlotte mentioned how the pressure feels being the daughter of a two time WWE Hall of Famer and pro wrestling legend in Ric:

“When you walk out through that curtain, and people know you’re Ric Flair’s kid, you’re not going to get away from it — either you accept it or you don’t. Fans can think what they want. But if I was just another 5’10” blonde that was very athletic that stepped through, I don’t think I would have dealt with as much criticism as I did. I think the criticism and pressure is what’s gotten me to where I am today. It elevated my game.”
