In the days leading up to their WWE WrestleMania 41 Women’s Championship match, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton engaged in a heated, unscripted exchange on SmackDown that drew significant attention. During this confrontation, Stratton delivered an unexpected jab at The Queen by referencing Charlotte’s real-life divorces, claiming she had a 0-3 marriage record. Initially, it appeared that Charlotte wasn’t fazed by the remark, but she has since revealed that the insult struck her deeply.
Writing under her real name, Ashley Fliehr, in a personal letter for The Player’s Tribune, Charlotte disclosed that the divorce comment affected her more as Ashley—the person—rather than just her WWE persona. She explained that the insult pierced her personal life and vulnerability rather than simply targeting her character in the ring.
“And I think in those times when people have seen me appear rattled by the booing, those are just the times when I’ve felt like — at least for a moment — the boos aren’t for Charlotte. They’re for Ashley. They’re for me. They’re because of the way I look. Or because of the energy I’m giving off as a woman. Or because of real trauma I’ve gone through in real life. So when it got mentioned in Chicago that I have an ‘0–3 record at marriages’ … yeah, it rocked me legit.” — Ashley Fliehr
Charlotte further emphasized that her WWE character, The Queen, has never been divorced in any storyline, which made the off-script remark feel like a direct affront to her real-life struggles. The insult’s impact was magnified by the crowd’s reaction, as the audience cheered when she was mocked, intensifying the emotional blow.
“I’m not too proud to tell you that. I don’t need everyone thinking I’m playing 5-D chess all of the time. My reaction to that line was as genuine as it gets. Because — and maybe this makes me naive — in my head?? Charlotte hasn’t been divorced. So I wasn’t expecting it to come up in that promo….. and then all of a sudden I had an entire arena cheering as I got mocked for something that was (and frankly still is) devastating to me.” — Ashley Fliehr
