Ric Flair’s Wife Diagnosed With COVID-19
WWE Hall Of Famer was the subject of an exposé style article from The New York Post, who published photos of him getting coffee at a Starbucks not wearing a mask.
The report indicated him and his wife Wendy Barlow have both tested positive for the virus, which he says isn’t entirely true. He admits his wife has the virus, but he does not.
“That is absolutely incorrect,” Flair said. “My wife does [have the virus]… we live in a 5,000 square foot home. I live in the basement. She lives upstairs on the third floor and she got sick.”
The Hall of Famer hung up before The Post could ask questions about the Starbucks run, and when probed further via text message, he insisted his “health is excellent.”
Photos show The Golden Stallion, 71, leaving his home without a mask and taking his Mercedes to a Starbucks drive-thru.
Despite his wife’s confirmed diagnosis, Flair was maskless as he handed cash to an employee through the window, the photos show.
Below is a screenshot from the article.

It should be noted that WWE tests regularly prior to television tapings, and if Flair has tested positive he wouldn’t be permitted into the Performance Center.
WWE was asked for comment, but has since not returned the request.
