Ric Flair is asking fans and online critics to ease up after a wave of backlash over comments he made on The Ariel Helwani Show, including remarks aimed at Ludwig Kaiser. Flair previously issued an apology on social media but has now followed up with another statement urging people to move on.
“I have apologized, and I have retracted statements. I have made assumptions that are incorrect. I acknowledge everything that I have said. Can we just wake up tomorrow & let Ric Flair be Ric Flair? I am 77 with a heart condition and nothing is ever guaranteed. let’s just all be at peace! If you look at social media, people love to attack every celebrity online without using their real name. I’m Ric Flair. Take me for who I am. The people who know me know how hard I’ve worked my entire life to achieve my level of success. That is not up for debate. Thank you for everything! Please let me wake up tomorrow and have my social media screen be only positives. I’m always going to be a cowboy! wooooo!”
