Discussion: Charlie Sheen Says He Is HIV-Positive, Has Been Blackmailed 'Into The Millions'

Discussion for article #242929

If he told his sex partners (plural) in advance, and is willing to say this in a national TV interview, why pay anybody, ever, to keep silent? I think heā€™s covering up gambling debts.

Sorry to hear he has HIV and hope he can stay healthy. Not exactly a great spokesmen for fighting the disease and helping to stop the spread of it, but glad he has decided to go public with it and stop the blackmailing.

He was/is a talented actor. Too bad his personal life has been such a train-wreck. Hopefully this public disclosure can bring about some stability and healing for him as he moves forward in fighting his disease.

Such a pathetic person. I hope he can come through this but really there are far more important things going on in the world

ā€œThey were under the care of my doctor and they were completely warned ahead of time.ā€

Oh, yea, they wanted Charlie bad. This guyā€™s such a jackass Iā€™m surprised heā€™s not running for the Republican nominationā€¦

This is not what I come to TPM for. In a time when there is so much real news out there, this person means nothing. Please. No more.

I think itā€™s an important story for all the Charlie Sheens out thereā€¦and, you know theyā€™re out there (and the Charlene Sheens).
If youā€™re a freak, get tested.

Vox runs a good educational article regarding this.

Iā€™m not sure his announcement will reduce the stigma and shame for those who have HIV/AIDS. In fact, it will probably make it worse by reinforcing current stereotypes about those who lead a promiscuous lifestyle. Even though it only takes once.

ā€œWinningā€¦Duh!ā€ :wink:

Talented celebs with still much to give to their families and careers, like Robert Downy, Jr., were able to pull back from the brink and stop their self destruction before it was too late. Hope Sheen can do the same.

Nowā€¦on to other things.

I donā€™t really feel bad for Charlie, but I certainly feel bad for Georgia Jones and a few others on his Hit List:

Charlie, itā€™s hard for me to gin up much sympathy. You knew the probabilities of the results of ā€œhard partyingā€ and you did not care. My sympathy would be for those you infected and didnā€™t tell.

opportunity to tamp down the blackmailā€¦

it was already in most of the ā€˜fish ragsā€™ (enquirer and radar online) and the moment when Bree Olsen did that ā€˜tightropeā€™ video where she outed him, but didnā€™t say his name; he was literally counting the day until a reveal.

Brett Rossi already spanked him in a video.

Officially sheā€™s now done in the business. because short of solo work, she and the others canā€™t do any lesbian or guy/girl work anymore;those companies canā€™t afford any lawsuits.

The truth will set you free. In the case of an HIV infection, it will also save your life.
