STATEMENT FROM RIC FLAIR'S AGENT ON GRANTLAND.COM STORY

By Mike Johnson on 2011-08-26 20:01:18
The following statement was released by Melinda Morris Zanoni of Legacy Talent and Entertainment, LLC, which represents Ric Flair:

“Mr. Fliehr has declined to comment on the “Grantland” story published this week, as he has consistently with media inquiries regarding legal affairs. While the information gleaned from courthouse records may be credible, Mr. Fliehr is currently evaluating his legal options with respect to falsehoods in the story, specifically the untrue statement that he suffers from alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Our client understands that these allegations are part of the territory when you are not only famous, but a living legend. Ric Flair is a sports entertainer, which has been a lifelong passion that he still enjoys delivering to his fans today, along with his work outside of the ring with various charitable causes. We will be sure to advise Mr. Fliehr against running for County Treasurer and instead to continue entertaining his millions of fans all over the world as he has been doing for the past 35 years."

Obviously, this statement is where TMZ.com pulled their quotes from.
