Flair questioned, “Did I cause my brother to OD (overdose)? Like, was the pressure too much on him? Was I not there for him?”

And added, “You can’t blame yourself, like yes. I’ve taken many years to know that. But it’s very hard not to think about those things… at that time”

Reid Flair suffered from a heart attack, and met his demise on March 23, 2013, which was a result of a drug overdose. The young fighter came to the U.S.A after a brief stint with the All Japan Professional Wrestling that year. But, this incident made Charlotte Flair regret not visiting her brother more often.

The Queen felt guilty for living her brother’s dream

During the same interview, The Queen opened up about how she couldn’t make enough time for her family. Charlotte Flair’s commitments to WWE meant that she couldn’t pay visits to her brother as often.   Reid Flair always dreamed of moving into WWE and becoming a star, like his father. However, Charlotte Flair got that opportunity instead and became a tremendous success in WWE.

Flair said about her wrestling career, “oh I really like this, I fit in. This is really cool. But, at the same time, this is everything that he (Reid Flair) wanted to be doing. Like how selfish and unfair that I’m living his dream and he never got to be there.”

Therefore, The Queen felt guilty and blamed herself for losing her sibling, at a young age.
