"If it comes as a shock to anyone that at some point in the grip of a decades-long addiction to pills, booze and crack cocaine the essentially heterosexual Charlie Sheen occasionally turned over the menu and had sex with men, then I am delighted. I did not know such pockets of naivety could still exist in this benighted world. You sweet things. Enjoy your time!"
"Sometimes that was via stories sold by the people he partied with, sometimes via public hospitalisations and press conferences called by his father Martin Sheen to try to control the press interest. Sometimes it was thanks to Charlie's own interviews or call-ins to the likes of Alex Jones's Infowars shows, or ranting videos posted on YouTube about his tiger blood and Adonis DNA done under the influence,"
"And sometimes it was an amalgam, as when in 2015 he gave an exclusive interview to NBC's Today show revealing his HIV+ status, to end various extortion attempts people had made over the four years since his diagnosis. Martin Sheen and Charlie's brother Emilio Estevez declined to participate in the film. No one including Charlie, as he says himself can blame them."
Revelations that Charlie Sheen, while primarily heterosexual, occasionally had sex with men emerged amid decades-long addiction to pills, alcohol and crack cocaine. His life can be divided into Partying, Partying with problems and Just problems, each heavily documented. Media coverage included stories from associates, public hospitalisations, press conferences led by Martin Sheen, Sheen's own interviews and rants, divorce proceedings with Denise Richards, and a 2015 NBC interview revealing his HIV+ status to end extortion. Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez declined to participate in the film. Ramon, daughter Lola, son Bob and their mothers Richards and Brooke Mueller appear.
