Close your eyes and recall the halcyon days of 2011. Yes, there was an economic recession that just wouldn\u2019t let up and the portentous rise of the proto-Trumpian Tea Party and all sorts of terrible natural disasters but \u2026 you could be a near-absolute skeeze and very nearly get away with it! (Not that much has changed \u2026 I mean Donald Trump is president currently<\/a>, right now, in 2025.) The absolute skeeze in question isn\u2019t the current leader of the fascist world, though. It\u2019s Charlie Sheen, one man of Two and a Half Men fame, who is out with a new memoir detailing the sordid events that led up to his very public, maybe tiger-blood-induced<\/a>, flameout of 2011<\/a>. That year, CBS decided to finally fire the actor from America\u2019s then-most-watched sitcom after turning a blind eye to his well-documented involvement in a sex ring, domestic-abuse charges, substance-use issues, and overall sleazy behavior. Sheen took the boot and swung a machete around on a rooftop to the tune of a million Twitter followers in a day and die-hard fans cheering his meltdown one-man shows. Getting canceled a decade and a half ago sure was different.<\/p>\n Sheen comes across as a bit glib about all the destruction and headaches he wrought in The Book of Sheen. Written in a very bad-boy, sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll tone, the book fills its pages with stories of paid-sex encounters, benders lasting so long that the thought how his house smells makes you mentally gag, and assertions of innocence. Sheen mostly glosses over discussions about his most glaring<\/a> allegations<\/a> of wrongdoing<\/a> throughout the 350-page roller coaster that spends an inordinate amount of time on his twin fictionalized Vietnam-film obsessions, Apocalypse Now (starring his dad, Martin Sheen) and Platoon (starring himself); baseball metaphors; and his anger over losing a childhood ping-pong match with O.J. Simpson. To accompany the book, Sheen also has a documentary out on Netflix on September 10, aka Charlie Sheen<\/a>. If you\u2019re ready for some name-dropping and dope-taking, then here are the most Charlie Sheen of Charlie Sheen stories for you to read.<\/p>\n Trying \u201cthe other side of the menu\u201d (gay sex) during his crack-fueled years:\u00a0<\/p>\n Maintaining he only slept with consenting adult men, Sheen confirms that he frequently dabbled in \u201cthe other side of the menu\u201d that sometimes \u201cwas catering the event.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn fact lemme take the pressure off and answer a few questions so I don\u2019t get hit with them later on any fancy talk shows.<\/p>\n \u201cWas some of it fun? You betcha.<\/p>\n \u201cWas the \u201cother side\u201d in play without crack? Never.<\/p>\n \u201cWere those the times that led to the extortion you had to pay?<\/p>\n \u201cThose times and others.<\/p>\n \u201cIs there a sense of relief to finally being honest about these experiences? A big one.\u201d<\/p>\n Addressing battery charges against former girlfriend \u201cJane\u201d<\/p>\n He claims that the \u201cmedia\u2019s slanted portrayal\u201d of his highly publicized assault case in the \u201990s \u201cdidn\u2019t fall anywhere close to the truth\u201d because the survivor allegedly slept with him twice after that. Okay. \u201cBottom line: I didn\u2019t have the luxury to ponder her motives,\u201d he admits, adding that he didn\u2019t want to violate parole if anyone heard he saw her despite the restraining. \u201cI also had a bunch of crack to keep me on my toes.\u201d<\/p>\n Ratting out friend and convicted madam Heidi Fleiss:\u00a0<\/p>\n Back in the \u201990s, Sheen frequently used Fleiss\u2019s services to book paid sex. \u201cI remember my first conversation with her on the phone as though it were yesterday,\u201d he writes. \u201cHeidi was kool and friendly, with a relaxed sexiness that enveloped her voice. It was genuine and had a way of masking or delaying the realization of how razor-sharp she was. Intentional or otherwise, that thing worked like a charming charm. Before I knew it, I had agreed to twelve grand for two women from midnight \u2019til whenever and was convinced I\u2019d pulled one over on her.\u201d<\/p>\n When the Feds caught of whiff of her activities, Sheen made a deal to snitch in exchange for his freedom: \u201cI never had to appear at the trial for any of it \u2014 we cut a deal for immunity and they videotaped my testimony at a neutral office. Heidi and her lawyers were in the room with me, and I felt like such a fukken a-hole as I laid it all out like a two-bit canary.\u201d<\/p>\n September 11 inspiring him to propose to second wife, Denise Richards:<\/p>\n Known 9\/11 truther says the tragedy opened up his heart to a second round of nuptials. \u201cMy motivation to tie the knot wasn\u2019t connected to the usual emotional suspects \u2014 it was galvanized by the life-changing events of 9\/11,\u201d he remembers. \u201cAll of that shit came knocking on America\u2019s front door, and when we went to answer, it blew up the whole fukken house. On September 10, I was fine; by the morning of the 12th, I didn\u2019t wanna die alone.\u201d<\/p>\n Bill Clinton allegedly eyeing Sheen\u2019s then-girlfriend Dolly Fox while filming Three for the Road in 1986:\u00a0<\/p>\n The former president gets a shout-out, this time as an allegedly creepy Arkansas governor. After being invited to Clinton\u2019s governor\u2019s mansion with co-stars Alan Ruck and Kerri Green, \u201cRuck overheard Clinton whisper to one of his aides: \u2018Find out what you can about the brunette,\u2019\u201d Sheen claims. \u201cThe brunette was Dolly, and to this day Alan swears it was an exact quote.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo: Sonia Recchia\/WireImage\n <\/p>\n Thinking the HIV community \u201chijacked his vulnerability\u201d and ending up on Dr. Oz:<\/p>\n Sheen publicly revealed that he was HIV positive in 2015, but that doesn\u2019t mean he wanted to be an advocate. \u201cWith little effort to conceal the plot, that community did their best to hijack my vulnerability and nominate me for poster-child status,\u201d he complains. \u201cI went along with some of it, and ultimately wound up in the crosshairs of Dr. Oz and his televangelic medical circus.<\/p>\n \u201cI hated being on his show but I did owe that man a solid. When Bob and Max were discharged from the hospital, Oz was in the neighborhood and made a house call to check on their tiny tickers. When it came to all matters of the heart (save for romance), his thumbs-up was a cosign second to none. The yellow-brick-doctor was only with them for ten minutes and I wound up in four episodes of his show. Maybe Turkish even-Steven is a bit different and if so, I guess we both won. (But he for sure got way more Steves.)\u201d<\/p>\n Visiting Slash and Mira Sorvino after violating parole:\u00a0<\/p>\n Sheen recounts this 1998 tale in a way that makes you wonder how much creative license he took with the dialogue: \u201c\u2018Dood!\u2019 he chided. \u2018I have never seen someone who needs to be in rehab more than you do. And I have seen so many people who needed it in the most desperate ways imaginable.\u2019 That struck me deep, but I was still pondering, fighting the obvious with potent denial. Slash pressed me harder: \u2018If you don\u2019t go today my friend, you are going to die.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Later, he claims Sorvino promised to sleep with him if he turned himself in: \u201cThat woman took it to another level when she grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me to attention: \u2018Listen to me, you crazy, beautiful man, I understand why you don\u2019t wanna go, but you are out of options. This isn\u2019t a game anymore, these people are playing for keeps. Look at me Charlie, look at me: I will sleep with you \u2014 if you just promise to get yourself to court this morning.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Losing his virginity to a \u201cVegas escort\u201d courtesy of Martin Sheen\u2019s credit card:<\/p>\n On a trip to Vegas during his sophomore year of high school, he charged a night with an \u201cescort\u201d on his dad\u2019s Mastercard. \u201cWe explained our situation to Candy, and she responded with a level of physical generosity neither of us knew existed,\u201d he recounts. \u201cShe was Ann-Margret in her prime with a Mastercard swiper. (I didn\u2019t care that the swipe took longer than the sex.)\u201d He did not procure his dad\u2019s autograph like she asked. When dad found out, Sheen got an earful.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring Dad\u2019s two-hour lecture to me about sex versus love, I kept stressing how gorgeous Candy was and what a great deal Dad and I both got for the price,\u201d he writes. \u201cThe look on his face told me we were done.\u201d<\/p>\n Frequenting massage parlors with bestie Chris Penn armed with fake IDs and allowance money:\u00a0<\/p>\n Telling their parents they were heading for dinner and a movie, Sheen and Penn would use the \u201cmoolah\u201d to frequent \u201cillegal\u201d sex parlors in Santa Monica with homemade fakes. \u201cAs fabulous and enticing as that world seemed, it was easy enough to lose sight of the fact that we were still in school,\u201d he adds. \u201cThe only way to keep it below the radar was to pick our spots and not get greedy.\u201d<\/p>\n Hanging out with his sex doll:\u00a0<\/p>\n During his \u201998\u00a0rehab stint, a manager brought him a \u201ctraveling hand\u201d courtesy of his second Real Doll. His first melted at his lake house. \u201cAs an elaborate joke months earlier, I set her up in the jacuzzi to scare the shit out of a buddy of mine. (I was too high to factor in the basic logic of really hot water and latex.),\u201d Sheen writes. \u201cThe prank was a masterpiece, but Real Doll didn\u2019t survive beyond the laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n Buying so much crack the suppliers thought he was a small-time dealer:\u00a0<\/p>\n That infamous summer of 2011 saw Sheen\u2019s dope consumption hit record levels, according to his plug. \u201cPhil looked me right in the eyes and very evenly explained, \u2018My guys are shutting you down because they\u2019re convinced that you\u2019re dealing. They\u2019ve never seen this much dope go to one guy who wasn\u2019t dealing, and they\u2019re giving you a pass \u2014 because you\u2019re my guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Combining of coco-puffs and porn:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI wasn\u2019t snorting it as much as I was putting it in the end of my cigarettes for a move known as the coco-puff. Decent head rush that lasted about a minute until the next cig-tip had to be filled and lit.<\/p>\n \u201cLooking back, as my brain became more curious about the connection between fire and cocaine, there\u2019s no doubt that combo served as the precursor to freebasing. I upped the ante further by adding porn to the mix, and presto \u2014 my holy trinity was complete.\u201d It\u2019s magically delicious.<\/p>\n Photo: Michael Buckner\/Variety via Getty Images\n <\/p>\n Thanking Johnny Depp for his smoking habit:\u00a0<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/dc070c8185d4f05b6b0fe48064206ee19c-charliesheen-2011.rhorizontal.w700.jpg\")
