Troubled after Charlie gets attacked (8)
I believe the answer is:
assailed
'attacked' is the definition.
('assail' can be a synonym of 'attack')
'troubled after charlie' is the wordplay.
'troubled' becomes 'ailed' ('ail' can be a synonym of 'trouble').
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'charlie' becomes 'ass' (both can mean a foolish person).
'ailed' after 'ass' is 'ASSAILED'.
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for assailed that I've seen before include "charged" , "Under attack" , "Attacked, lashed out" , "Violently attacked" , "Went for" .)
