PWinsider is reporting that Ric Flair, Charlotte Flair, and author Brian Shields were all granted a motion on 11/29 that they would have an extended amount of time to respond to the lawsuit filed against them by Charlotte’s ex-husband Riki Paul Johnson regarding claims made about Johnson in the WWE book Second Nature that state he lost two jobs due to drug use, a claim that he was sterile and could not have children and “multiple false allegations physical and/or psychological abuse”, which Johnson stated he believes he can prove are incorrect with police reports and dash cam footage.
Johnson has said that the book is extremely embarrassing to him and his family and they have been subjected to shame and ridicule. He claims he was purposely written in as a villain to make Charlotte look better. The defendants now have until 1/18/19 to respond, unless Johnson files an amended lawsuit, which would reset the clock for their response.
