The former basketball champ and close friend of Tiger Woods opens up on his friend’s divorce and alleged affairs at the opening of the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia!
Tiger Woods may be doing everything he can to remain silent and under the radar since news of his multiple affairs came to light, but his good friend Charles Barkley is certainly not holding his tongue! The basketball great told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY at the opening of the Casino Club at Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, “Tiger has got to stand up to these people and quit apologizing. He made mistakes, he owed his wife an apology, and he should tell the rest of these people to kiss his ass. He is a great friend of mine, he is my friend no matter what. I don’t judge my friends, only God can judge other people.”
Charles statement comes just as news of Tiger’s divorce to Elin Nordegren has been finalized, with his former wife walking away with a reported $100 million. As a stipulation of her payout however, the Swedish model has agreed to sign a confidentiality clause that assures she will not speak of her and Tiger’s relationship publicly.
Charles himself seems to be making an attempt to lay low as well, telling us he has become more of a homebody these days. “I like staying home … if I go to the gas station people are bugging me, dry cleaners, supermarket people are bugging me.”
Charles was on hand to celebrate the opening of the new resort and casino with guests including Jennifer Garner, Jessica Simpson, Ben Affleck, and Lionel Richie.

Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be at the net the simplest thing to remember of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while other people consider issues that they just don’t understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

I LOVE Charles Barkley and I completely agree w/ him. God is the only one who can judge. Those who are without sin cast the first stone. People who comment like “Polly” are self righteous. I very seriously doubt she knows anyone who knows Elin especially when “Polly” can’t spell or write in proper English. Does it feel good to be JUDGED “POLLY”? Get a life!

HAHAHAHAHA I’m guessing some of that will happen. Tiger will be divorced soon, and back on the ‘dating’ scene before you know it.

The basketball-friend of Tiger Woods what kind of a man is he. He have to understand that Tiger has hurt so many people with his behavour, people who has been very found of him as a father, husband, friend and a golfplayer this people need time to understand Tigers behaveour
Mr. basketball-player do you have a daughter as Tiger has. Would´nt you both be very pleased if they fell in love with a person like Tiger and be hurt the way Elin has been hurt.
I know pepole who know Elin, they say that she is not with Tiger to get his money She hoped that she could stay married to him because she loved him and wanted their lovely little kids to grow up with their father.

Barkley ain’t too far off wrong you know, the people is making out like Tiger killed someone, the people need to let up and leave the man alone, you know the people with the most double standards are the ones talking bout hurt and the whole nine yards……….you think Elin did not know about Tiger before she married him………she went in for the money and it seem like that is what she is going to be coming out with til she meet some man and he rob her rass blind……………a nanny that her employer introduced to Tiger on a Golf course…..you does call then kinds a women groupies………get real, Barkley is right, Tiger need to tell the worlk to Kiss his Ass.

I like to tell you that students in Eroupe go to U.S.A. to learn english, they go as nannies or aupers and stay for a year. I like to tell you that young people in Norden work while they are in university they work part time jobs og have some money while they are in school.Elin and her sister Josefine did to U.S.A. to learn more in English and went back home to continue they learning.

msfaye,
If you are going to call someone into account for their diction, perhaps you should learn how to spell grammer (it is grammar). Don’t throw stones.

Right on Charles! These people don’t care about Tiger or his wife and Kids.
She was only in it for the money anyway!
