A Defiant Confession

“Liberating. It’s f**ing liberating … just to talk about stuff.”*
The actor said discussing it publicly didn’t bring any disaster:
“No train came through the restaurant. No piano fell from the sky. No one ran in and shot me.”
Drugs and Reckless Decisions
Sheen admitted that his experiences with men began while he was using crack cocaine.
“That’s what started it. That’s where it was born or sparked,” he explained. While struggling to process it at first, Sheen eventually reached acceptance:
“So what? Some of it was weird. A lot of it was f**ing fun. And life goes on.”*
Living With HIV
