“I was just trying to be funny,” he said, downplaying the comment. Angela, who was right there with him during the livestream, didn’t seem upset at all. In fact, she laughed it off, and the two shared a fun story about their spontaneous Las Vegas wedding.

Still, some people didn’t find the joke funny. Critics called it inappropriate and said suggesting someone was drugged into marriage, even as a joke, wasn’t a good look. Others saw it as just another example of Charles’s blunt, no-filter sense of humor that doesn’t always land well with everyone.

But Angela didn’t seem fazed at all. She appeared relaxed and happy during the stream, even throwing in her own jokes and smiling through the conversation. If anything, she reminded fans why the two have lasted so long — she knows how to roll with Charles’s personality and keep things light.

Despite the backlash, Charles and Angela seem to be doing just fine. For them, it was a moment of humor that may have missed the mark but didn’t shake their connection.
