Darrem Charles' Mother Shot Dead

[THE BOUNCER]

FLEXonline has learned that the mother of IFBB pro Darrem Charles was killed in a shooting in New York recently. Details at this time are sketchy, but the tragedy has been confirmed by Charles' manager Dan Solomon. Despite the shocking loss, Charles still plans to compete at the Mr. Olympia on October 19. We'll have more on this terrible news in a future FLEXonline and our print edition. We at FLEX send our heartfelt condolences to Darrem and his family.

[Optimus B]

fuck that's tragic. my sincerest condolences to the family. i can't even imagine being in that situation. that's purely amazing that he's still competing though.

 

[Twitched]

He shouldn't be doing the Mr. O, thats rediculous.

 

[THE BOUNCER]

He shouldn't be doing the Mr. O, thats rediculous.

that's just what flex says bro, don't believe everything you read. on the other hand though, he might do it as a tribute.

 

[mvmaxx]

Prayers out to him.

People deal with tragic circumstances in differant ways, Darrem has chosen the Olympia as his way. I wish him and his family the best of luck. I hope that he comes in the O at his best, although I would think that his mother's untimly death will weigh heavily on his prepreation.

this is so horrible. i couldn't imagine my mother being shot dead.

arnold didnt sit out the olympia when his dad died, and he didnt even bother to go to the funeral, life still goes on, and people cant linger and let the effects of tragedy hault their own personal lives, sure it is a horrible thing, but life goes on, and darrems livelyhood as a bodybuilder could be damaged if he doesnt compete, we know how full of shit and how horrible the politics in joe weiderland are!

He shouldn't be doing the Mr. O, thats rediculous.

He could be dedicating his performance to his mother... Also she'd have to know how much he loved bodybuilding and would probably be looking down from Heaven with pride at her son's accomplishments.

He shouldn't be doing the Mr. O, thats rediculous.

Buster Douglas won the championship of the world right after he lost a parent. It was a tribute fight.

 

[Twitched]

Yes, but we are talking 2 weeks after. That's kinda soon. It's not like I think he should quit his career, but he should at least spend the two weeks of her mothers homicide to tidy up her affairs, mourn, etc.

Arnold still competed in the Mr. O when his father died shortly before. i dont think he should drop out......use all the energy he will be feeling and funnel it into his training.

 

[THE BOUNCER]

i don't think i could compete for awhile after something like that happened.

 

[ZKaudio]

This could bring "roid rage" to a new level. You dont mess with someones mama.

 

[Intenceman]

Terrible news. It must be horrible for him.
Should he do the O"? Well it is his job- would you miss a a big part of your work, say a years work if that happened? Only if you could afford to, I think.

Arnold still competed in the Mr. O when his father died shortly before. i dont think he should drop out......use all the energy he will be feeling and funnel it into his training.

I'm not sure that arnold really loved his father.

 

[Victorian guy]

My prayers

His Mom will be there.
Bro- should you read this- know that your Mother is in heaven now. All the bullshit of this world behind her. Peace.

if i were to check out tragically i would hope my loved ones would carry on normally especially with something that they love as in Darrem's case competing in the Mr.O. I mean i would hope that they misssed me but never would i want them to go through heartache and pain......if one lives life everyday to the fullest it doesnt matter when you check out.

On another note this is a terrible thing to happen to anybody.....
