WWE star reflects on personal pain, public pressure, and finding her worth
Summary
– Charlotte Flair opens up about the emotional toll of her divorce
– She reveals feelings of shame, fear, and public scrutiny
– Flair says her current journey is her most personal comeback yet
During an emotional interview with Sherri Shepherd, Charlotte Flair opened up about her divorce for the first time. Flair discussed the overwhelming pressure she felt personally and professionally while trying to recover from a knee injury and navigate the end of her marriage.
Flair admitted that she struggled silently, feeling like a failure in her private and public life. She feared the comparisons to her legendary father and dreaded public reaction to her divorce. “I didn’t want anyone to know,” Flair said. “I just kept thinking I failed again.”
She explained how difficult it was to prepare for a return to WWE while dealing with inner shame and the fear of being judged. Fans had not yet seen the “redemption story” they expected from her, but Flair believes her real comeback is happening now—not in the ring, but in her self-worth.
Flair’s struggles were suddenly public after returning to win the Royal Rumble and appearing on Monday Night RAW. “Everything I feared hit that day,” she recalled. “But I realized the fight’s over. I’m standing in my worth.”
Flair closed the conversation by saying this comeback isn’t about wrestling. It’s about Ashley—her real name—reclaiming her strength. “This is my biggest comeback yet.”
