Charlie Sheen alleges he engaged in sexual encounters with men and concealed the information for decades due to fear of extortion, revelations stemming from his forthcoming memoir and Netflix documentary. The actor details these experiences in The Book of Sheen, hitting shelves September 9, and the two-part aka Charlie Sheen series debuting on Netflix the following day.This disclosure arrives as Sheen publicly confronts a tumultuous past marked by addiction, public scandal, and strained family relationships, perhaps reshaping perceptions of his life and career.
Sheen’s marriage to Denise Richards from 2002 to 2006, which ended in divorce finalized in 2006, and his subsequent marriage to Brooke Mueller in 2008, dissolving in 2011, occurred during the period he now claims he was living with this secret. He is father to five children: Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with Richards; twins Max and Bob, 16, with Mueller; and Cassandra Estevez, 41, from a relationship with his high school girlfriend. The actor’s decision to come forward now, as detailed in his book and documentary, suggests a desire for clarity and a reckoning with previously hidden aspects of his life.
