Charlotte Flair Opens Up About Her Marriage, Playing A Heel Or Babyface

Charlotte Flair has been through a lot in her life. She recently sat down with Sam Roberts to discuss some aspects of her career and her father’s illness.

Ric Flair’s illness hit everyone very hard. We were all worried about the two-time WWE Hall Of Famer and wished him the best. Through all of the hopes and prayers, Ric Flair was able to recover. But Charlotte revealed when her famous father came out of surgery he didn’t know who she was. However, Ric Flair was still strutting around the ICU in no time.

Charlotte Flair then went on to speak about her recent failed marriage on Sam Roberts’ Wrestling Podcast. She said it was embarrassing but in the end, Charlotte’s overcome many obstacles in her life before.

“My marriage, that was one. I am open and honest about it but it’s really hard when people on social media are like ‘oh she’s just like her dad, married twice.’ I’m embarrassed of that, I am.”

“I thought what is the best way to overcome it and that’s to talk about it and I can’t change it, and when people say she’s just like her dad, they don’t know. I journaled about it and it was therapeutic… Charlotte the character, I want to be Charlotte, that’s the funny thing, when I come through the curtain I want to be her. I tell people all the time if I could have that confidence in everyday life it would be different.

Charlotte Flair also talked about the differences between playing a heel and a babyface on television. During her time on WWE Television already The Nature Girl has needed to play both roles and she has a very mature view of how to properly do the job.

“I wasn’t thinking about being a good guy or a bad guy and that has been the transition for me on SmackDown, do you want me to be this good guy? Oh no, when I first heard that, you know where I went?”

“I’ve just left NXT, I’m respected, not loved, what’s going to happen to my character again? Obviously having my on-screen friendship with Becky, because she is the most natural babyface I think that’s helped. I am just going on camera just being me and bringing in Charlotte a little bit and then not caring anymore.”

“It’s like okay, well The Boss is still the Boss but guess what, she is the most popular, and just being okay with that, and not worrying if they respect you, you’re getting a reaction.”
