Tommy Dreamer was under fire last week for comments made on the most recent episode of ‘Dark Side of the Ring’ when he seemingly defended Ric Flair after he was accused of sexual harassment by flight attendant Heidi Doyle on the infamous ‘Plane Ride from Hell’.
Dreamer said “Ric Flair is not going to try to impose by force any sexual stuff onto anybody. He’s just flaunting, stylin and profilin and [doing the] Ric Flair stuff where everybody’s going to laugh about it, but obviously somebody took offense to it. I feel this is trying to portray someone as a sexual predator, and it it’s not. It’s a joke, it’s a gag and today, 1,000 percent inappropriate… I’ve hung out with Ric Flair. I’ve never seen him try to force his will against anybody.” He was suspended by IMPACT Wrestling indefinitely and today issued his first statement since the incident.
Dreamer issued a statement to PWInsider.com in which he said, “Regarding my comments made on Dark Side of the Ring. It was never my intention to offend, hurt or victim shame anyone. I understand my comments were insensitive and could trigger emotions in someone’s own personal past. I do not condone sexual misconduct of any kind. I apologize to anyone I offended. From the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry.” He also posted the statement on his Twitter which you can see below.
