Angela Oakley, the former wife of basketball legend Charles Oakley, just spilled the beans on why she left him after the infamous Madison Square Garden incident in 2017. Get ready for the tea, because this is some juicy stuff.
According to Angela, she couldn’t handle the drama and negative attention that came with Charles’ actions at the Garden. You remember that whole mess, right? He behaved in an abusive manner and got kicked out.
But apparently, that was just the tip of the iceberg, as Angela admitted she couldn’t stand the humiliation and tough times, so they had to live separately.
Angela and Charles wed only a year before the MSG incident, with her idea of renewing their wedding vows starting how the separation came to light.
‘I really, really, really want to do that,’ Angela said on Sunday’s episode of Bravo’s ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’. ‘2017 with Madison Square Garden, that was a very, very rough time. Charles was attending a game in New York. The owner does not like Charles and called security to come. [They] escorted him out.’
‘We were newly married,’ Angela continued. ‘He needed to heal, and I couldn’t heal him during this time. I was just like, “You know what? We’re going to try to work through this at a distance.” And we did live separately.
‘So us just recommitting to one another, I feel like is important at this moment, because everything that happened since we got married, it affected us.’
Charles has replied ‘we’ll see’ to renewing his vows with Angela, with the couple’s 10th anniversary falling next year.
‘Charles is holding our vow renewal over my head because he feels like we spent all this money on these houses,’ Angela said. ‘[He thinks], “Let’s handle this first, and then we can jump into something else.”‘
It’s always interesting to get a little behind-the-scenes info on celebrity relationships. It’s sometimes crazier than we see on the socials. But, hey, we wish both Angela and Charles the best in their separate lives.
