And now it’s Charles Barkley‘s turn to contribute to the mix. After spilling a controversial truth, it was time for Chuck to take a few responsible steps. But it seems it’s far from where he started and expected.

After revealing his New Year’s resolutions for 2024, Chuck promised to leave Diet Coke for his own good after revealing his addiction to the soft drink for years. But that promise may haven’t even lasted a day, according to Charles himself:
