Charles Barkley couldn’t wait to get at Kenny Smith after the latter was caught by TMZ cameras chilling on the beach with a smokeshow, bikini-clad model.
Smith, who had a divorce finalized in 2021, was likely having the time of his life on Thursday as he pulled up to Miami Beach with Aline Bernades.
While the two-time NBA champion has kept his private life under wraps since his divorce from Gwendolyn Osborne, he was unable to escape the cameras this time around.
A photo shows a topless Smith sitting next to Aline as she sips from a cup, while another appears to show him checking out her assets.

Whether the two are dating is still unknown as they’re said to have steered clear of any public displays of affection. But Aline did put Kenny on her Instagram Story, posting a video of him dancing.

The Inside the NBA co-host did not have to meet up with the gang again until Sunday and it appears Chuck couldn’t wait to see his old pal so he could rib him over the exposure. Ernie Johnson was equally guilty as he was the one who threw Barkley the assist. You could check it out in the video below:
Ernie Johnson: “Any photos you guys want to share from the weekend?”
Charles Barkley: “I got one of Kenny.”
Kenny Smith: “I was at the Formula 1.”
Ernie: “I’m gonna do you big a favor Kenny.”
Chuck: “You gonna show TMZ? TMZ ain’t never wrong.” 😂pic.twitter.com/U4DRPdaN9V

Shaq did not join Charles in picking on Kenny but he did share the laughs.
That’s probably because he was in a photo with the model too, with Aline posting a snap of the two to her IG in which she referred to him as her “BFF.”
