– It has been reported on WSOC-TV channel 9 news in Charlotte, North Carolina this afternoon that divorce papers were filed against him last May by long-time wife Beth.

The papers allege alcohol, steroid abuse, and physical abuse.

Ric Flair has a January court date relating to a road rage incident last week. Flair has denied the charges and claims he will be exonerated.
