Ric Flair Called Out for ‘Seeking Attention’ After Posting Sentimental Health Tweet Amidst Jim Ross Controversy

Ric Flair’s latest tweet was meant to be a heartfelt tribute to his health and family—but instead, it reignited backlash less than 24 hours after he deleted controversial posts targeting Jim Ross and sharing a mock “consent” message known as “The WOOOOO Compromise.”

On June 1, 2025, Flair posted three photos from his past hospitalization and recovery—one of him in a hospital bed, another in a wheelchair, and one more hitting the treadmill—with a sentimental caption:

“In My Sunday Feels! There Isn’t A Minute That Goes By Where I Don’t Think About How Blessed I Am! So Grateful For My Health And My Family! I Don’t Take Anything For Granted. 🙏🏻”

But fans weren’t feeling it. With his tweet about Jim Ross still fresh in everyone’s mind—one where Flair accused the legendary commentator of being an “attention seeker” during a serious battle with cancer—many users slammed Flair for what they saw as blatant hypocrisy.

One fan immediately flipped the script on Flair, writing: “Quit being an attention seeker grandpa.”

Another user tried to find middle ground but still pointed out the contradiction: “That JR stuff isn’t the way to go this far in life. Glad you are both doing good!”

Others stayed blunt: “Attention seeking.” “Why did you go in on JR like that?”

“Ric Flair being Ric Flair. Attention Seeking, someone else beloved in the wrestling industry just had surgery and he made a bad joke about it but wants to post about his health after deleting said joke.”

One person summed it up with a sarcastic jab: “Ric Flair Will Always Be Ric Flair, Seeking Attention. Focus On Your Recovery 😏”

A screenshot of Flair’s now-deleted tweet calling Jim Ross an attention seeker also started circulating again, with one fan saying: “Don’t act like we didn’t all see this.”

The replies didn’t stop there, as more piled on with lines like: “At it again seeking attention.” “Looking for attention at every opportunity.”

Within minutes, Flair was trending on Twitter again, but for all the wrong reasons.

Flair has yet to respond to this fresh wave of criticism, but after deleting the tweet about JR and doubling down with a sentimental health post, it’s clear fans aren’t ready to move on just yet.
