LEGACY TALENT ISSUES STATEMENT ON FLAIR LAWSUIT

By Mike Johnson on 2017-11-18 10:56:00

Ric Flair's former management company Legacy Talent issued the following statement on the lawsuit Flair has filed against them, alleging that they misappropriated funds due Flair and misled him on the existence of the payments:

"Ric Flair has always been known to be dramatic and looking desperately for the spotlight. That’s fine as a wrestler but it is despicable when he blatantly lies.

As anyone who read [the Ric Flair Grantland article] knows, Ric has always left a trail of destruction in his wake whether it be from his ex wives, the IRS, creditors, or from his former business partners and friends… the debris is everywhere.

Our client wishes Flair nothing but the best and is sad that things have come to this after over a decade of hard work and incredible results for their client.

Our client provided Flair an accounting of funds as they always did throughout their representation. Flair then demanded funds that belonged to buyers be released from trust that he had not yet earned and our client would not be bullied into doing anything unethical. In reality the $37,000 in dispute are in his management company’s trust account while we were working out a settlement on the sums of money owed our client from deals and money Flair hid from his management."
