Charlie Sheen's Fiery Confessions: Inside His Turbulent Marriages

Charlie Sheen said in his memoir that Brooke Mueller was a mom 'in name only'

Charlie Sheen Spills All: His Turbulent Love Life, Family Drama, and Downfall

Get ready for a juicy tell-all from Charlie Sheen's new memoir, "The Book of Sheen", which hits shelves today, accompanied by a Netflix documentary that promises to dish out even more dirt. The 60-year-old actor is unapologetic about his tumultuous love life, family drama, and the addiction that nearly destroyed him.

A Bitter Attack on Brooke Mueller

The actor has a fraught history of drug and alcohol abuse, one of his lowest points being during his unhinged tour in 2011 where he chugged a bottle of 'tiger blood' on the rooftop of Live Nation building in Beverly Hills (pictured)

In the book, Sheen unleashes a scathing attack on his third wife, Brooke Mueller, the mother of his two youngest children. He claims she was more interested in becoming a mom than actually being one. "She was more enamored with the idea of becoming a mom than actually being one," he writes. Ouch! The actor also reveals that he only married Mueller out of loneliness and fear, saying, "I was feeling so overwhelmed, beat down, and outnumbered in my life; I didn't want to keep fighting those battles alone."

The marriage ended in messy divorce, which Sheen describes as "painful, pricey, and a total disaster." The boys were eventually removed from Mueller's custody when they were just four years old due to her erratic behavior. For a time, they were placed in Denise Richards' care – more on that later.

A Scathing Critique of Denise Richards

Sheen also takes aim at his second wife, actress Denise Richards, with whom he had twin daughters Sami and Lola (the latter born after Sheen's drug addiction had taken hold). He claims their marriage was a disaster, filled with "unending conflicts." When Richards filed for divorce in 2006, Sheen says he felt "discarded" – a feeling he couldn't shake even years later.

In an explosive revelation, Sheen reveals that his wife discovered an email he sent to a porn star while on tour. The email was inadvertently forwarded to Richards by a mutual friend. Talk about a betrayal! Despite the cheating allegations, Sheen claims Richards' departure left him heartbroken. "In my experience, the main feeling between sadness and rage is something I can only describe as discarded," he writes.

A Bizarre Encounter with His Dad

In the memoir, he admits to losing his virginity to an escort in Las Vegas using his father Martin Sheen's credit card. That same escort would later ask him to wake up his dad to get an autograph

Sheen's memoir also reveals some shocking confessions from his past. One of the most jaw-dropping moments comes when he recounts losing his virginity to an escort in Las Vegas using his father Martin Sheen's credit card. But here's the kicker: the escort asked Sheen to wake up his dad so she could get his autograph – and Sheen refused!

A Dark Time of Addiction

Sheen's career as a Hollywood A-lister was derailed by his long-term addiction to drugs and alcohol. His low point came during an infamous 2011 tour where he infamously declared, "I'm Tiger Blood!" – a reference to his supposed invincibility. After hitting rock bottom, Sheen has been sober since 2017.

His marriage to Richards, who shares daughters Sam (middle) and Lola (left), crashed and burned due to his bad spending habits and drug use, leading her to serve him divorce papers while on the set for the hit sitcom, Two and a Half Men

A Father's Regret

In the book, Sheen admits that his addiction nearly destroyed his relationships with his children. He recalls being high on weed while looking after baby Cassandra (born in 1984 when Sheen was just 19) and getting covered in pureed food. The 40-year-old daughter has spoken publicly about her difficult relationship with her father.

Sheen also confesses to contracting HIV due to his promiscuous sex life and copious drug use. In a bizarre twist, he reveals that Richards even took him to the doctor to get tested – but the results were inconclusive.

Even after they divorced in the mid-2000s, Sheen continued his party and sex-fueled lifestyle as seen in this photo of him partying in 2012 - which deteriorated his relationship with his kids

A Family Divided

The memoir is not just about Sheen's personal struggles; it also shines a light on the complicated relationships between his ex-wives and children. Richards has spoken publicly about her experiences with Sheen, saying their daughters have "been through a lot" with their father.

Lola, one of the twins, has been particularly candid about her feelings towards Sheen. In an interview for "The OnlyFans" model's show, she said she would "rather literally do anything else than go to lunch with my father." Ouch! It seems like some wounds will never fully heal.

A Look Back at His Career

Sheen's acting career took off in the '80s with films like Wall Street and Platoon. He also starred in TV shows like Two and a Half Men, which catapulted him to fame. However, his addiction issues eventually led to his ousting from the show.

In the book, Sheen reflects on his time as a Hollywood A-lister and how his addiction affected those around him. "It was messy, painful, and pricey," he writes about the divorce from Mueller.

Mueller and Sheen share twin sons, Max and Bob, but when their marriage collapsed, the boys were removed from the home and Mueller temporarily lost custody due to her struggles with drug addiction

A New Beginning?

Sheen's memoir is not just a tell-all; it's also a story of redemption. He claims to have made amends with Richards (saying their relationship is now "solid") and has even managed to make peace with Mueller (although the two are still estranged).

As Sheen looks back on his life, he admits that there was plenty of "s* decisions" made along the way. But one thing's for sure: this memoir will give readers a glimpse into the tumultuous world of Charlie Sheen – and it's not pretty.
