Ric Flair Files $10 Million Lawsuit After Allegedly Getting Tricked Out Of Digital Identity: REPORT

Ric Flair, a WWE Hall of Famer, has filed a $10 million lawsuit against an “influencer talent agency” that he claims tricked him out of his digital identity rights.

The “Nature Boy” alleges that FAM Networks persuaded him, through deceit, to sign a contract that ultimately didn’t deliver what was promised. (RELATED: SEC Looking To Potentially Expel LSU From Conference, Vote Scheduled For Thursday)

According to The Independent, the contract states it was drafted with counsel; however, the lawsuit claims Flair inked the Dec. 2025 deal without a lawyer reviewing it, and FAM was aware.

“What FAM did was simple: it waited until he needed help managing the digital legacy of everything he had built, presented him with a document he was not equipped to understand, told him he had lawyers when he did not, gave him fourteen minutes to read it, and walked away with a perpetual license to his identity,” reads the lawsuit.

Flair, 77, added in the lawsuit that this is just “the beginning.” Speaking with The Independent, Flair said he “wants to bury” FAM Networks, claiming at least $250,000 in revenue has been lost so far.

According to the complaint, FAM allegedly offered the legendary wrestler speaking appearances and engagements, and 90 percent of the money was supposed to go to him.

FAM allegedly promised Flair 50 percent from “collaborative projects,” plus 10 percent from “passive content.” It’s also claimed that Flair would receive six figures every month to have his “hacked, demonetized” Facebook page operating.

“FAM delivered none of them,” claims the lawsuit. “It sourced not one speaking engagement. Not one in-person appearance. Not one personal project at the ninety percent royalty tier. It reposted existing content.”
