RVD watched the DSOTR episode on Monday and tweeted some clarifications.

"Just watched DSOTR. Heavy. Some insight for those who can handle it," RVD wrote. "1) I haven't seen Ric Flair's dick. My comment about fans shouldn't see him doing the helicopter was a response to DSOTR telling me that's what they were told. They shouldn't. I don't want to see it either.

"2) I said 'trying to make her touch him' referring to his body crowding her space and her backing up like bad breath was in her face.I thought maybe they were playing(from seeing a similar scene at the hotel bar)but I wasn't interested in naked Ric. Still ain't.I tried to sleep."

A fan responded and asked RVD, "Can you confirm to us, to the best of your recollection Rob, did you see Ric Flair specifically grab her hand and place it on his genitals? This is what the majority of people believe you've said. Looking for a one time tweet out there for clarification for everyone."

RVD responded, "I can confirm I didn't see that and I didn't say that. Creative editing will have people hearing it different ways."

Another fan wrote, "He said that he saw him in the back of the galley for several minutes but he didn't go back there to see what was going on"

"True," RVD wrote back.

Another fan posted a DSOTR screenshot showing how RVD stated, "I remember him like crowding her and, you know, trying to make her touch him and stuff."

RVD responded, "Yes. She couldn't by him without touching him because he was blocking the way"
