WWE STARS INCLUDING RIC FLAIR HIT WITH SEXUAL HARASSMENT SUIT FROM FLIGHT ATTENDANTS DURING INFAMOUS FLIGHT FROM HELL

World Wrestling Entertainment and wrestlers Ric Flair, Scott Hall, and Dustin Runnels have been sued by flight attendants over sexual harassment charges that allegedly took place during the infamous "plane ride from hell."
The incidents allegedly took place on a May 5, 2002 SportsJet flight from Europe to the United States after a WWE PPV in the United Kingdom. Sportsjet is owned by Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes and provides chartered flights for rock stars, celebrities, and sports teams.
According to an article in today's Arizona Republic, the lawsuit, which was filed yesterday, alleged that Flair flashed himself to a female flight attendant. The suit alleged that other WWE wrestlers allegedly groped attendants while Hall and Runnels (who were named as defendents along with Flair and WWE) allegedly made sexual comments and advances to the attendants.
The "Plane Ride From Hell" as it was later known within the business featured a number of WWE stars getting out of hand including a scuffle between the late Curt Hennig and Brock Lesnar and incidents with Hall and Runnels, among others. Hall and Hennig were released a short time after the flight.
