According to Livesteez:
“First, TNT put Charles Barkley on the bench, now T-Mobile has blocked his calls. A spokeswoman for the company – which features the NBA commentator in its Fave 5 ads – says his contract has been discontinued due to his recent DUI arrest.
“Given the recent developments, for the time being, we’ve replaced TV ads featuring Mr. Barkley with more general-market advertising. As he works through his personal matters, we will evaluate where to go from here,” the spokesman said, according to Eurweb.com.
Last week, TNT announced that Barkley was taking a “leave of absence” from his job providing commentary for its post-game show “Inside the NBA”.
Barkley, 45, was arrested Dec. 31 on suspicion of drunken driving in Scottsdale, Ariz. He told cops he was speeding because he was rushing to meet a woman for oral sex.“
Damn Chuck, no championship ring, anger management classes and now this… Do MJ and Tiger still take your calls?
