$5 Million Lawsuit Against Ex-Wife Charlotte Flair
While their marriage lasted only a couple of years, the ripples from the fallout of the acrimonious divorce can still be felt to this day. In late 2018, Riki filed a lawsuit against her ex-wife Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr AKA Charlotte Flair in response to some comments made in her 2017 autobiography "Second Nature".
The $5 million defamation lawsuit was filed against Ashley and her father, Richard Morgan Fliehr AKA Ric Flair, who was the co-author of the book. Johnson alleged that the claims made in the book about his physical and/or psychological abuse were false. He took particular offense to claims made about him being sterile, which considering he went on to father three children, was false.
