Why WWE's Charlotte Flair Says She Feels ‘Exposed’ After Opening Up About Her Divorce (Exclusive)

Charlotte Flair is feeling more like herself.

The 14-time WWE world champion, whose real name is Ashley Fliehr, recently opened up to PEOPLE about the “weight” lifted off her shoulders since her emotional interview on Sherri, in which she spoke publicly for the first time about her recent divorce.

“I’ve felt a bit exposed,” Flair, 39, told PEOPLE during an interview on the red carpet at WWE’s Hall of Fame event in Las Vegas last weekend.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing, the WWE star explained.

“I think a weight has been lifted off my shoulders because ‘Charlotte’ had to be so perfect and pristine all the time and people couldn't separate the character and who I am in real life,” Flair said.
