"Would I have to make up a lie?" - When WWE legend claimed he slept with Halle Berry
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has previously claimed that he slept with many women.
In 2016, however, he stated on his podcast that one of these ladies was Hollywood megastar & Oscar winner Halle Berry. The 16-time world champion detailed their alleged encounter, disclosing that it was after she and her first husband, David Justice, divorced in 1997:
[Any celebrity riders of 'Space Mountain'] You want me to start with Halle Berry, or what? [Oh, Halle Berry rode 'Space Mountain?'] Of course, she did. When she was in Atlanta and she just got divorced from David Justice. [Are telling a real story right now?] Would I have to make up a lie?" Flair said. [0:48 - 1:08]
The Hollywood star was seemingly unhappy with The Nature Boy's claims. In an interview with TMZ, Berry's representatives responded to Flair's comments. They stated that he was "lying" and that the actress had never heard of him or met him before.
A source also disclosed that Berry felt offended by Flair's claims and considered them demeaning:
"A man doesn't get to sexualize and lie about a woman he's never met to better himself or his name. It's offensive, demeaning, and beyond misogynistic," the source told TMZ.
The WWE Hall of Famer later refused to comment on Berry denying getting intimate with him when asked by TMZ. Instead, he only said that the 56-year-old was a "great actress and a very nice person."
Another WWE Superstar was romantically linked to Hollywood megastar Jennifer Aniston. Check out the story here.
