Charlotte Flair recently opened up about the differences between her on-
screen character and her real-life persona. The decorated star has been at
the top of WWE for around a decade and has won it all. However, it hasn’t
been all smooth sailing for The Queen when it comes to her personal life.
The 14-time Women’s Champion recently reflected on her wrestling journey
and shed light on her personal life and battles in an article for The Players
Tribune. She discussed how her personality was vastly different from the
“supremely confident” Charlotte Flair that she portrays on the screen.
“When that camera turns off, I’m just Ashley Fliehr. And unlike
Charlotte, Ashley is not always supremely confident. And sometimes she
does get rattled. And she doesn’t win constantly. Actually ….. I lose pretty
often. I’ve spent a lot of my life losing. And if I’m being really real-I’ve
spent a lot of my life feeling like a loser,” Flair wrote.
Winning is one thing that you would associate Flair with, given her success
in WWE. Her on-screen character oozes confidence, and her ability to put on
a show when the lights shine brightest has been impressive. But away from
the ring, it has been a different story, as she revealed.

“I ve lost at just about everything there is to lose at: I’ve flaked on
promises. I’ve cut and run from challenges. I’ve quit on dreams. I’ve had
my childhood home foreclosed on. I’ve alienated friends. I’ve disappointed
family. I’ve given up on myself. I’ve lost people I love. And yeah, let’s just
get it out of the way: I’ve gotten divorced three times. And I know that
none of that makes me unique …. and I know that nothing in a million
years will make me “normal,” or relatable, or sympathetic. But I’m still
human,” Flair added, making a heartfelt admission. [H/T: The Players’

Flair married fellow WWE star Andrade in 2022, but the pair got divorced in
early 2024 after two years of marriage. With these comments, The Queen
was able to give fans a more personal look that goes beyond her Charlotte
Flair persona on WWE programming.
“I know what I thought about. I didn’t get into wrestling from my dad. It
was for my little brother. And I think people kind of forget that. Like, I
wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him,” Charlotte said in an interview with
WrestleZone (H/T: Ringside News)
Despite not being inclined to get into wrestling early on, Charlotte has been
able to live up to the legendary standards set by Ric Flair, all the while
dealing with the ups and downs in her personal life.
