According to a report from TMZ, Charlotte Flair is being sued by her ex-husband. The ex-husband is Riki Paul Johnson, who she married in 2010. The couple divorced a year later in 2011.
Below are some of the key details from the lawsuit according to TMZ’s report.
Johnson claims that Charlotte defamed him in her book, Second Nature: The Legacy of Ric Flair and the Rise of Charlotte. One of his complaints is that she said that he is sterile and incapable of having children.
He also claims that the book features “multiple false allegations physical and/or psychological abuse”, which he says he can prove didn’t happen (via police reports and dash cam footage).
Johnson claims that the allegations in the book have humiliated his family, which includes his three children.
He also says the book painted him as a villain to portray Charlotte as a “victim who overcame personal adversity and domestic abuse.”
Johnson is suing Charlotte, Ric Flair, and WWE (for their promotion of the book). He is asking for more than $5 million in damages according to TMZ’s report.
