Reminisce about the carefree times of 2011, despite the ongoing economic recession, the rising Tea Party movement with hints of Trumpian politics, and numerous natural disasters. In that era, one could almost get away with questionable behavior to an unprecedented extent! (It’s worth noting that Donald Trump is indeed the president in 2025.) The individual in question isn’t the current leader of the world, but Charlie Sheen, renowned from the sitcom ‘Two and a Half Men.’ He has recently released a memoir detailing the events that culminated in his high-profile collapse in 2011. During this time, CBS chose to overlook Sheen’s well-publicized involvement in a sex scandal, domestic abuse allegations, substance abuse, and general unprofessional conduct. After being fired from America’s most-watched sitcom, Sheen reacted with a rooftop stunt on Twitter, gaining over a million followers in a day and garnering support from fans who celebrated his public breakdown through one-man shows. Getting dismissed from work more than a decade ago was certainly a different experience.
The book “The Book of Sheen” portrays Charlie Sheen in a rather flippant manner, with accounts of his reckless lifestyle, including explicit details about his sexual encounters, prolonged periods of substance abuse, and instances where he claims innocence. The book often brushes over discussions about his most serious allegations of misconduct. It delves deeply into Charlie’s twin obsessions with the films Apocalypse Now, starring his father Martin Sheen, and Platoon, in which he himself starred; uses baseball analogies frequently; and expresses his anger over losing a ping-pong match to O.J. Simpson in childhood. A documentary about Charlie Sheen titled “Charlie Sheen: aka Charlie Sheen” is also available on Netflix as of September 10, if you’re interested in tales filled with celebrity encounters and drug use.
Trying “the other side of the menu” (gay sex) during his crack-fueled years:
Sheen acknowledges that he often explored relationships with other men who were of consenting age, using the phrase “the other side of the menu” to describe this, and at times, he was involved in these relationships where he served as a participant.
Rather than avoiding questions and potentially getting grilled on talk shows later, I thought it would be best to address a few now.
“Was some of it fun? You betcha.
“Was the “other side” in play without crack? Never.
“Were those the times that led to the extortion you had to pay?
“Those times and others.
“Is there a sense of relief to finally being honest about these experiences? A big one.”
Addressing battery charges against former girlfriend “Jane”
He asserts that the media’s biased representation of his high-profile assault case in the ’90s was far from accurate, since it is alleged that the accuser later had two encounters with him after the event. Putting it simply: I didn’t have time to question her intentions, he admits. Additionally, he expressed concern about breaching parole if anyone learned he saw her and didn’t want to risk it. To add, he was also dealing with a lot of drug problems, specifically crack cocaine, during that period.
Ratting out friend and convicted madam Heidi Fleiss:
In the 1990s, Charlie Sheen often hired Heidi Fleiss’s services for paid encounters. He recalls their initial phone conversation vividly, describing her as cool and friendly with a relaxed sensuality that permeated her voice. This authenticity had a way of subtly concealing or postponing the recognition of her sharpness. Whether intentional or not, this approach was irresistible, leaving him agreeing to pay $12,000 for two women from midnight until whenever, believing he had outsmarted her.
When authorities discovered what she was up to, Charlie Sheen agreed to cooperate and testify against others to gain his freedom. He said, “I didn’t have to go to court for any of it – we made a deal for immunity instead. They recorded my testimony in a neutral setting, and Heidi and her lawyers were there with me. It felt really awful as I spoke up like a common informant.
September 11 inspiring him to propose to second wife, Denise Richards:
A person who believes in the conspiracy theories about 9/11 found the tragic event to be a catalyst for remarriage, as he recalls: “My desire to get married wasn’t rooted in typical emotional reasons; instead, it was sparked by the profound impact of 9/11. It felt like everything changed that day – America was struck, and when we opened the door, it seemed like an entire house was destroyed. On September 10, I was at peace; however, by the morning of the 12th, I didn’t want to face death alone.
In 1986, during the filming of Three for the Road, there were rumors that Bill Clinton was taking notice of Dolly Fox, who was dating Charlie Sheen at the time.
In simpler terms, the ex-president is mentioned again, but this time he’s referred to as a former governor of Arkansas who was rumored to be creepy. According to Charlie Sheen, during a visit to Clinton’s governor’s mansion with actors Alan Ruck and Kerri Green, Ruck claimed to have overheard Clinton asking one of his aides to gather information about a brunette named Dolly. To this day, Ruck insists that it was an accurate quote.
Thinking the HIV community “hijacked his vulnerability” and ending up on Dr. Oz:
In 2015, Charlie Sheen openly disclosed that he was living with HIV. However, this didn’t automatically make him want to become an advocate. Instead, he felt that certain groups tried to exploit his situation, pushing him into becoming a symbol for their cause. As he puts it, “They made an attempt to capitalize on my vulnerability and thrust me into the role of poster-child.” He admits to going along with some of this, but ultimately found himself under intense scrutiny from Dr. Oz’s media medical platform.
As a devoted cinephile, I found myself in an awkward predicament – I wasn’t fond of appearing on his show, but I owed him a favor. When Bob and Max were released from the hospital, Oz happened to be nearby and paid them a visit at home to check on their little hearts. In matters of the heart (except for romantic affairs), his approval was like a gold seal that couldn’t be beat. The charming doctor in yellow was only with them for a brief ten minutes, yet I ended up featuring in no less than four episodes of his show. Turkish even-Stevens might have been slightly distinct, but if so, it seems we both emerged victorious. (Though he definitely gathered more Steves for sure!)
Visiting Slash and Mira Sorvino after violating parole:
In a manner that leaves one questioning his artistic liberties with dialogue, Sheen narrates this 1998 incident: “He scolded me, saying, ‘Man, I’ve never met someone who needs rehab more than you do. And I’ve seen quite a few people who were in dire need of it.’ This remark hit hard, yet I was still grappling with my thoughts, stubbornly denying the truth. Slash intensified his words: ‘If you don’t go today, my friend, you’re going to perish.’
Later on, he asserts that Sorvino made a proposition to him: “That woman went beyond the ordinary when she gripped me firmly by the shoulders and jolted me awake. ‘Pay attention,’ she said, ‘you’re a mad, handsome man, I get why you don’t want to go, but you have no other choice now. This isn’t a game anymore; they mean business. Look at me Charlie, look at me: If you show up in court today, I will spend the night with you.’
Losing his virginity to a “Vegas escort” courtesy of Martin Sheen’s credit card:
During his sophomore year of high school, while on a trip to Las Vegas, he paid for a night with an escort using his father’s Mastercard. He remembers the encounter fondly, saying, “Candy showed us a level of affection we had never experienced before.” He describes her as being reminiscent of Ann-Margret at her peak, but notes that the transaction process took longer than the actual encounter. However, he did not ask for his father’s autograph as she requested. When his father found out about the incident, Charlie Sheen received a stern lecture.
During Dad’s lengthy talk about sex compared to love, lasting two hours, I repeatedly emphasized Candy’s beauty and how fortunate both Dad and I felt given the value we received at the price. This is what he penned down. His expression made it clear that our conversation was over.
Frequenting massage parlors with bestie Chris Penn armed with fake IDs and allowance money:
Sheen and Penn would tell their parents they were going out for dinner and a movie, but instead, they would use their money to frequently visit adult entertainment venues that operated illegally in Santa Monica. They created homemade fake identifications. Reflecting on this period, he acknowledges that even though the lifestyle appeared glamorous and alluring, it was effortless to overlook the fact that they were still students. To avoid suspicion, they had to choose their moments wisely and not overstep boundaries.
Hanging out with his sex doll:
During his rehabilitation period in ’98, one of his managers provided him with a “portable doll” thanks to his second Real Doll. The first one had perished at his lake house. He writes that, as an elaborate joke several months prior, he had arranged the doll in the jacuzzi to scare one of his friends. (Being high, he hadn’t considered the common sense logic of very hot water and latex.) The prank was a success, but unfortunately the Real Doll didn’t last beyond the laughter.
Buying so much crack the suppliers thought he was a small-time dealer:
In the sweltering summer of 2011, as I stood there, the tales of my drug intake reached unprecedented heights – so my confidant claimed. “Phil, with an unwavering gaze, laid it out straight: ‘They’re shutting you down due to suspicion that you’re peddling. They’ve never witnessed such copious amounts of drugs going to a non-dealer, and they’re giving you leeway – because you’re my man.’
Combining of coco-puffs and porn:
Instead of frequently inhaling it directly, I would often place it at the end of my cigarettes for a method called “coco-puff”. This provided a good rush for approximately a minute, but then I had to refill and light another cigarette tip repeatedly.
Reflecting on it now, I can see how my curiosity about the relationship between fire and cocaine ignited a series of events that eventually led to the development of freebasing. To take things a step further, I introduced pornography into the equation, creating what became known as my ‘holy trinity’. It’s fascinating, really.
Thanking Johnny Depp for his smoking habit:
In his own words, Sheen admits to taking up smoking cigarettes while working on the set of “Platoon,” alongside an actor who was known for his lawsuits and enthusiastic fanbase. He explains that Depp started giving him cigarettes more often, which he initially accepted less cautiously, usually after PT or a meal. This behavior persisted for about a week, with Depp’s delight in the act growing each day. Eventually, Depp revealed his secret – he had successfully turned one non-smoker into a smoker on each of his previous three films. (When Sheen eventually quit smoking on the Fourth of July in 2019, he calculated that he had smoked approximately 25 miles of cigarettes when laid end to end. He jokingly quipped that if he ever needed a new lung, he’d send Depp the bill.)
Still mad about losing a ping-pong match to O.J. Simpson on The Cassandra Crossing set:
In the filming location of Platoon, I recalled O.J., a man with no regard for others, who denied me the cherished moment I would hold dear by refusing to let me win our ping-pong game.
As a movie enthusiast, I found myself dumbfounded and taken aback, just like everyone else, as we watched the O.J. car chase unfold. The final act of this saga, involving a once celebrated sports and media idol, was disintegrating in real-time before our very eyes. Remarkably, it was my childhood adversary who had surpassed all bounds with his actions.
opting between Denise Richards’ Armani wedding dress fitting appointment or the final Spin City wrap party, it won’t shock anyone that I ended up losing the Italian dilemma, much like the infamous O.J. ping-pong match.
Calling his clique with Nicolas Cage “The Jackson Five”:
During the final month of filming “The Rookie,” our group of five, fueled by great joy, traveled to Las Vegas. Struggling to keep track but requiring an alias for check-in at The Mirage, we introduced ourselves as The Jackson Five. In a surprising turn of events, Sheen left rehab to celebrate with the J-5 at a bikini contest. He offered a nurse $1 million if he didn’t return by 9 a.m., marking the end of her shift. (He returned on time, as per his account.)
God sending him signs to quit drinking:
In the mid-90s, while under the influence of alcohol, he made two impulsive proposals to adult film stars. He recalls, “In a fit of drunkenness at the lake, I slipped off my finger a pinkie ring and proposed to an actress I had been infatuated with for three days. When I came to my senses, I asked my partner to return the ring and apologize. Despite her efforts, I was left feeling embarrassed and nearly ringless. In later years, I found myself proposing to another adult film star, who I’d met as an expensive call girl. Overwhelmed with excitement, I organized a large engagement party for all my friends and family. Yet, one instance wasn’t enough; I felt compelled to relive the experience again, only to confirm it as a precarious adventure. (My security guard had to handle that situation, as her belongings were too heavy for my partner to manage.) I regarded a boat as a sign from God, but deemed it unsuitable.
Getting high on testosterone cream made him susceptible to tiger-blood theories:
[Brian Wilson] shared his thoughts about what made individuals like us unique, as we possess ‘tiger blood’ within our veins, which is reinforced by ‘Adonis DNA.’ This rare composition was never intended to falter because, being men such as ourselves, we are always ‘invincible.’ (I don’t have to spell out the seven-letter word here; you can sense the distinct tone and rhythm from atop Mount Bedlam. That’s the gist of what he said.) I was buzzing on Krazy Kreem, and those phrases echoed in my mind, constantly looping just beneath the surface.
