Ric Flair Deletes Tweets After Backlash Over Consent Post and Jim Ross ‘Attention Seeking’ Jab

Ric Flair is walking back his online response after a resurfaced story from Jim Ross accused him of exposing himself at a private dinner—and now, two of Flair’s most talked-about tweets have been deleted.

About an hour after defending himself on social media, Flair quietly erased both his clapback at Ross and his now-infamous “WOOOOO Compromise” consent post.

Flair had originally fired back at JR following a Ringside News report covering Ross’ recent appearance on Podcast Heat Wrestling, where he described a disturbing moment involving Flair at a birthday dinner for wrestling executive Gary Juster’s wife. Ross claimed that Flair walked out of a bathroom wearing only a robe, socks, and shoes—with no underwear—and strutted around with an erection in front of the guests.

“He goes to the bathroom like anybody else would—or maybe drinking, too. He throws down the drink. He comes back out. He’s got a thrasher towel. Yeah. He’s got his knee-high socks, his alligator shoes, and a boner—and no underwear. And he’s strutting around, flashing with his robe, of course. Uh, here his wife had never encountered, but frankly nobody had encountered anything quite like this.”

After the story regained attention, Flair responded directly to Ross on Twitter with a now-deleted jab: “Jim Ross Will Always Be Jim Ross, Seeking Attention. Focus On Your Recovery @JRsBBQ!”

Shortly after that, Flair posted another tweet defending the parody consent image he shared earlier that day—a fake contract titled “The WOOOOO Compromise” referencing his “Space Mountain” gimmick. In the post, Flair said it was all meant as a joke.

“If You Can’t Take A Joke From A 76 Year Old Man, Then You Are Living Life Too Seriously. It Was All Harmless, Lighthearted Fun! Just Trying To Make People Laugh & Smile!”

Now, both the tweet targeting Ross and the one about the consent joke have been taken down.

The deleted posts come after backlash online, as many pointed out how inappropriate it was to make a joke about sexual consent while long-standing accusations continue to surround Flair—including the infamous Plane Ride from Hell incident where he was accused of exposing himself and trying to force a flight attendant to touch him.

Flair’s decision to quietly erase his tweets hasn’t gone unnoticed. Whether it’s an admission of poor judgment or just an attempt to avoid further heat, the deletions are raising more questions than answers about how seriously he takes the criticism.
