It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.īarkley’s brother Darryl passed away in 2009, at the age of 42, after struggling with substance abuse problems for much of his life. And Josh Gordon is going to die if he keeps going on this road he’s going. And like I said, I love my brother, I miss my brother, but when you get involved with alcohol and drugs and you can’t control it, you look at (actor) Philip Seymour Hoffman (who died of an overdose last year). He died in his early 40s, so I take all drug stuff seriously. This is very personal to me. My brother is dead. The wide receiver was, at the time, reportedly facing an indefinite ban from the league after violating the substance abuse policy again and Barkley didn’t mince words while talking about it on ESPN’s His and Hers. Barkley has never backed away from voicing his opinion, but in 2015 he delved into something a bit more personal than usual when discussing NFL player Josh Gordon. She’s teamed up with the Fresh Start Women’s Foundation in the past, which works to provide women with “education, resources and support to positively transform their lives.” Maureen was also spotted with her daughter at the Fresh Start Fashion Gala in 2016, an event which raised more than $1.5 million for the Foundation. And while she hasn’t ever been quite as vocal as her husband, Maureen does do a considerable amount of charity work. In fact, she’s a regular on Twitter, providing updates and insights into her life. Maureen has, mostly, stayed under the radar throughout her marriage, but she’s maintained a strong social media presence. They tied the knot in 1989 while Barkley was playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, but settled in Scottsdale, Arizona when basketball took them across the country. The pair reportedly first crossed paths while Maureen was working as a model and legal aid and it didn’t take long for the two to hit it off.
