Charlie Sheen memoir and Netflix documentary reveal candid confessions
Charlie Sheen memoir candid confessions
Charlie Sheen is stepping back into the spotlight with unfiltered honesty, using his upcoming projects to confront the most turbulent chapters of his life. The *Two and a Half Men* actor is preparing to release his memoir *The Book of Sheen* on September 9, followed a day later by the Netflix documentary *aka Charlie Sheen*. Together with his recent *PEOPLE* magazine cover feature, these works present a man determined to face his past rather than run from it.
Sheen told the publication, “I’m not going to run from my past, or let it own me,” setting the tone for the deeply personal revelations. For the first time, he has spoken openly about past sexual encounters with men, explaining that these experiences began during the height of his struggle with crack cocaine addiction. “That’s what started it. That’s where it was born, or sparked,” he admitted. Now eight years sober, Sheen reflected, “Some of it was weird. A lot of it was fun, and life goes on.”
The actor described finally discussing his same-sex experiences publicly as freeing. “Liberating. It’s f—ing liberating… just talk about stuff. No train came through the side of the restaurant.

Sheen also addressed the difficult period after his HIV diagnosis. He revealed that overnight guests once photographed his medication and tried to blackmail him. Though he initially paid to keep his status hidden, he later chose to announce it himself on the *Today* show in 2015. “I do know for a fact that I never passed it on,” he emphasized.
Another infamous chapter revisited is his chaotic “tiger blood” tour of 2011. “That tour didn’t have to happen. I’m not a victim, but somebody should have tapped out for me and said, ‘This is a bad idea,’” Sheen admitted in hindsight.
