Overview
- Flair posted a public warning on May 29 that someone was using his 'Flair' trademark and said he was represented by a '$1,000-per-hour' attorney who sues trademark abusers.
- Reporters connected the apparent target to his son, David Flair, and to Green Flair Recycling in Shelby, North Carolina based on David’s LinkedIn listing.
- Hours after the initial posts were deleted, Flair said he would not sue, apologized for airing frustrations publicly, and said he would focus on his health.
- Flair shared images suggesting elevated heart rates and a photo outside a hospital, and his messages included personal complaints about a long-broken relationship with the person he called out.
- No formal lawsuit or public legal filing has been reported and the episode underscores both the commercial value of the 'Flair' name and ongoing family tensions.
