Charlie Sheen On Supporters, Finances, Revealing HIV Status To Family | TODAY

Continuing the exclusive interview with TODAY’s Matt Lauer in which he officially revealed his HIV-positive status, actor Charlie Sheen says of the possibility of a barrage of lawsuits from sexual partners, “I’m sure that’s next.” He confirms that he’s paid out upwards of $10 million to suppress stories of his HIV status and admits his financial condition is “not great,” but adds, “I’m a survivor.” He says that when he revealed his HIV status to daughter Cassandra Estevez, “it hit her hard,” but “she was a rock star about it,” and he confirmed that ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller were told about his status right away.

Charlie Sheen On Supporters, Finances, Revealing HIV Status To Family | TODAY

[@BradCooney]

Charlie, you took ownership, you were humble, and you took the high road. I'm praying for you!

[@sonicjet7759]

+Brad Cooney Hiv is survivable , Charlie Sheen has been to Paris, after what happened in Paris lately?? This proves Charlie has much more to worry about in this world than just some disease, medicine will help

[@andrewwilliamson5049]

The "high road"??? For 4 years he had sex with countless women without telling them he is HIV positive!! Bree Olsen lived with him for a year having sex with him nearly every day and he didn't tell her he was positive (lying about his symptoms & doctor visits) He even insisted on using lamb skin condoms that only protect from pregnancy not disease. An unnamed prostitute has claimed he had sex with her and another woman then told her to "go get his aids medicine" then payed her to keep quite when she panicked. He's now been forced to admit his status coz the papers will tell everyone anyway - hardly the high Road

[@dansullivan1983]

+Andrew Williamson www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3321430/Charlie-Sheen-s-porn-star-goddess-ex-tweets-getting-HIV-test-results-days-emerges-actor-virus.html

[@williamjack622]

+Andrew Williamson - Where do you get your info - the supermarket tabloids ?,,,are you one of those unfortunate individuals that takes the magazines by the register for Gospel ?..You need to STOP acting like you know everything...it has now surpassed you looking like just an ASS

[@williamjack622]

+Daniel Sullivan - Like I said - Bonehead tabloid readers,,,,You just Proved my point.

[@bleesedbythebest]

i would love to see him make a nice come back

[@Akosua225]

Same!

[@chatshitgetbanged.9417]

+citrus hall At least to make him give his children a comfy life.

[@sonicr360]

+John G 100% agree. Least he is looking out for kids :)

[@santaria19]

I'm still hoping for The Harpers sitcom. Probably won't happen.

[@johnmcquade6102]

+Bin Dardundat lolol. literally laughed out loud. and I am by myself giggling

[@HtwnFishMane]

His honestly and realness amazes me. Nobody else in Hollywood would have the balls to do this. Kudos, Charlie, kudos.

[@HtwnFishMane]

+JazzKeyboardist1 Lol ikr!

[@johnhoward5389]

Inquirer was about to go public with this story.... he cut them off.....

[@benlevy48]

Magic Johnson come out long before.

[@razen4758]

look on Will Smith and Jane

[@nickdominic9103]

he should reveal all the fools who tried blackmailing him

[@canadianElleAug16]

+Nick dominic Tamara Beckwith is one of them. But they need to investigate her as Charlie is the third man she has been with who contracted Hiv/Aids.

[@shadow.banned]

Agreed.

[@LesiureBoy]

Charlie Sheen is legit. Leave the guy alone and let him live the rest of his life in peace.

[@bleesedbythebest]

right on!!

[@Bambuswaldninja]

+Steve Kimble if you've seen Platoon, you kinda respect the guy no matter what. he could have been one of the best actors.

[@leeiilee7614]

👍

[@lucyllewellyn2850]

well said!

[@llrxnzloll6831]

Steve Kimble S. he didn’t tell his girlfriend

[@skirmos]

This takes a lot of power to say this to the public on TV. Respect Charlie!

[@searita4]

I've always appreciated that Charlie is a truther. God Bless and don't let this status define you...looking forward to seeing you in the movies and on tv.

[@MajorrBison]

+Rita Canavan charlie fucks around a lot, only if u know!!!!

[@crossy8529]

Im not a troll at all Search for yourself and you will see

[@jimskin71]

+Rita Canavan That's a rehearsed interview. You might want to search on youtube on how he abused his own children and Corey Feldman.

[@zeinabmurphy982]

+Rita Canavan Agree.

[@JesusChrist-mf4pm]

+Rita Canavan Truther?

[@JennaIce]

Good for him! He looks so relieved and happy to finally tell the world. so happy for him.

[@kellychance2508]

+Italianita Chick (Jenna Ice) I see that too. He looks like he is finally exhaled..... I was so touched by this

[@andrewwilliamson5049]

Yea he's clearly unconcerned about the women he slept with without bothering to tell them he had HIV. I don't think Bree Olsen is very happy right now that he had sex with her every day for a year without bothering to mention his status

[@stevencharles9534]

+Andrew Williamson Bree Olsen is hardly the brightest bulb on the tree.

[@stevencharles9534]

Happy for him? I'm not.

[@MrJoe750li]

+Steven Charles Well then you're not lol who cares foooooo

[@bicknell67]

I am in tears now. Charlie was so nervous but knew he had to speak out. I wish him all the best.

[@sonicr360]

Proud he came out and admitted to the entire planet what everyone was suspecting. Not too sure if he is stuttering due to being nervous, or whether it is drug related. Poor guy.

[@tylerjenkins265]

+sonicr360 hes been studdering for a long time.

[@sonicr360]

+Tyler Jenkins I just seem to note that he seem to stutter so much more in this interview but maybe it was nerves as well.

[@sonicr360]

+Lomax0506 fair enough thanks for the heads up.

[@ReneeBishop369]

+sonicr360 He's been stuttering forever. I would too if I knew every word was going to be picked apart.

[@sonicr360]

Well he is high profile. Let's just hope the matter of threats / blackmail are now at an end.

[@zaneandreas3174]

It takes a lot of courage to confront a world of millions with a disease so volatile.. Good work Charlie.. #finallywinning!

[@jonathanbrozik6894]

+Zane Pearton He was being blackmailed ...that is the only reason he came out so he's not loosing anymore money

[@vixen_b4925]

+Jonathan Brozik Whether it's a reaction from being Blackmailed or not it takes a LOT of bravery to reveal this to the world.

[@bleesedbythebest]

yes👏

[@Amrichal]

hey I got a similar picture, lol, Vegas girls.

[@victorvalenzuela7626]

+Vixen_B but he is been sexually active ever since he got HIV.... how do you call to that? "bravery"? it would have been worst if he would have said anything.

[@alliemollie]

Feel bad for him. He didn't have to disclose all of his medical conditions but he chose to do so to be free. After watching the entire interview, I'm quite disappointed with Lauer. He interviewed Charlie with judgements and interrogated him for no reason. He could have taken another approach that is more sensitive and respectful to a person who is sick! Yes Charlie needs to own his decisions from the past and he is not a perfect man, but it felt wrong that Lauer spoke to him in a demeaning way. My two cents.

[@radsical1392]

I 100% agree. They're doing nothing to remove the stigma.

[@nonh1]

+allmyjm Nah, Lauer didn't demean Charlie. The questions were respectful and objective enough. Lauer didn't show any of the tweets bashing Charlie neither. That was a fine gesture.

[@DrZaious]

+allmyjm In this day in age Lauer has to ask the tough questions. If you don't, speculation occurs. You have to ask if he had unprotected sex with someone aftet he found out, you have to ask when the diagnosis occurred or people talk, tweets happen and rumors start. Which all leads to more lawsuits and having a harsher backlash then ever expected. Some questions no matter how you put them sound demeaning or disrespectful, but with how much misinformation gets circled around and when you do an interview to clear the air you have to except those questions and to answer them. The only part charlie seemed to be bothered was when he was asked about his drinking in the previous video with his doctor. Plus they kept saying they have been talking and setting this confession interview for a few days, so I'm sure Charlie was well aware of the questions he was going to be asked. Being they usually do a prep interview with these kind of live moments.

[@jamieboi11]

+allmyjm Lauer is a friend of Charlie, it is the reason Charlie wrote him the letter etc, they would have also before hand touched upon things to talk about and not.... he has to grill him for the seriousness of the illness... this wasn't an attack, just someone getting information about a serious illness from being stupid... I hope Charlie fights through this as he is a rockstar.. but he needs to take responsibilites for his actions and change his lifestyle....

[@mochabetty]

So agree! Hate Matt Lauer! Entire interview was filled with judgements and questions about lawsuits!!? Kudos to Charlie for taking all that in stride and very cool-mannered...

[@mattnweho]

Having met and worked with Charlie, i can honestly say he's one of the nicest people i've met. Everyone has their demons and he's no exception. It took alot of courage for him to do this, and i applaud him for it.

[@prettycandy7884]

I support you Charlie!! I will be praying for you.

[@stevencharles9534]

I won't be.

[@eduardoteixeira5013]

+Shadi Gif alright I'm an atheist too but how about you respect everyone's beliefs and religions buddy

[@stevencharles9534]

+Soulrapier1 Ok, I won't be like you. Promise.

[@stevencharles9534]

+Tony Snell Does that describe you?

[@Towndrunk26er]

+Eduardo Teixeira I really dislike weak atheists. I have no respect for people that are living a full blown delusion. Christians think atheists are going to burn in hell, how respectful is that?

[@vagetagoku8757]

Feel bad for the guy. Honestly though he might outlive a lot of us posting on this

[@a.mostert800]

+David Russ Good one!

[@m.castel9219]

+David Russ you are so right! Like in the case of Magic Johnson! Who would of known he'd out live Michael Jackson, Robin Williams & so many others. Sometimes even our grandparents out live us. Sheen will be fine once he stops the alcohol. Just sad he had to go through the blackmailing. I wish him all the luck in the world.

[@Gamefan86]

Stay positive, Charlie, everything will be okay.

[@amandagarcia8430]

No pun intended?? Lol

[@Gamefan86]

Amanda Garcia Nah lol;)

[@venicemackay9244]

+Gamefan86 he has no choice he is positive

[@stevencharles9534]

Who says?

[@Soulrapier1]

yes he is positive, vih positive

[@teganrae4499]

I know this is an interview from a few years ago but props to Charlie for his honesty with all the tough questions. I hope he has a happy and healthy future ahead of him

[@nessakayeable]

idgaf he's still cool in my book. Its just sad that he had to reveal a very private & personal disease to the world.

[@jtatum6900]

Ye hes cool

[@310bound]

Same, sista. He like one of them white folks that you can tell off the bat isn’t racist. 💯

[@sarahziemke48]

This was brave of him. I've always hoped the best for this man.

[@RoseBautista7]

That is having balls! You can clearly see his nervousness and stress because he knows he is under the radar, but he goes through with it. I wish him the best and I hope he uses his celebrity status to educate people on HIV and to help lift off the stigma on this issue.

[@iclark2400]

He was put under the microscope here by Lauer and stuttered his words a couple of times but I think he handled himself well and is remorseful about it all. I hope he pulls through this difficult chapter in his life and wish him the best, he's still a terrific actor and genuine guy! All the best Charlie, I will pray for you.

[@robertamarcantonicirchi4802]

so sorry for You Charlie. we Can feel your pain admitting your problems. so human. You did mistakes as any human being. nobody can judge. Hope you'll get stronger and love yourself more than ever. proud of your honesty.

[@Blueeyedjenn14]

Actually hurts to see this. I know people will say when you live like he did what do you expect, hell I even said that after seeing the teaser headlines on TMZ but you forget behind the headlines is an actual person. No one would choose this and no one in their right mind would even wish this infliction upon even their worst enemy. My heart goes out to him and his family and I hope he can live the best he can even if for just the sake of his wee ones, no matter what they want and need their daddy in their lives.

[@rongonzales7365]

yeah because I'm sure his heart goes out to you idiot lol

[@Blueeyedjenn14]

+Ron Gonzales of course it doesn't, but that doesn't mean me, personally can't have empathy for another person's plight. I still feel bad for a homeless person I see on a street corner and we certainly don't know one another but I still have compassion for that person....but if me being conscious of other people in the world and caring even in a small capacity from a distance makes me an idiot, so be it. I didn't type that comment addressed to him I made a blanket statement on the story/video just like 99% of the people on here do

[@Blueeyedjenn14]

+Russell Scott for sure, he's got the means to survive and never be without the meds and care - still a shitty stigma and infliction to have, one would think it would be a wake up call....but regardless of everything he has had swirling around him his entire career the man is like a cat and always lands on his feet. Lucky for him crazy sells and the public eats that stuff up.

[@Blueeyedjenn14]

+Blah1069 I agree but this video was about him....when I saw content about the other people I said the same thing...EDIT: I see the troling u did now....still a shitty situation for all parties though...it's a live psa for praciting safe sex ...theyre adults and they should all know better but you still can have empathy for the stupid b/c after all it's a hefty price for a momentary lapse in judgement and the consequences are endless

[@Blueeyedjenn14]

+Blah1069 I get where you're coming from totally. But that blade can cut both ways. Those escorts and porn stars knew they weren't eff'ing a choir boy when they showed up at his place, both types of women get paid to f^|< for a living they of all people know the risks of getting down with a complete stranger. This is a messed up situation/scenario/lifestyle I wouldn't want to be apart of nor would I even be curious about. This outcome seemed inevitable

[@kamillamishiyeva8623]

I hope to see Charlie in a lot more movies and tv series. He is a great actor, cant take that away from him. My heart breaks for him.

[@TheRonnie63]

There is one thing about charlie he has always been honest regardless good or bad.

[@Amrichal]

Stay strong Charlie, search for inner peace and may God be with you!

[@taniacervantesochoa5034]

He is not brave, he is a selfish fool who was involved in risky behaviors, brave is to live your life sober, and respect your partners, be ethic and responsible about your sexual life, so I'm not feeling sorry, plus he has tons of money there is a lot of people out there that have no means to get treated, monogamist people with cheating partners who get infected, now that is unfair that we feel sorry for a rich reckless celebrity, instead of helping those who really need it.

[@85topdollar]

Brave is to live for Jesus Christ. Righteously and obey Him :)

[@nessakayeable]

+Jesus is Lord best can comment on this video

[@taniacervantesochoa5034]

+Demonio you cared enough to make that classy comment

[@daverichard9394]

+femme lune Piss off feminazi skank

[@nazilowrider3985]

+femme lune well said beautiful. Now let's make love shall we? Oh ya, I'm clean too promise!

[@Nazlynette]

He is so brave to speak out about this. Wishing him the best!

[@ritanyarko1793]

God bless you Charlie😊😊I love you

[@buck78]

OK, I get it now. The interviewer really doesn't trust him.

[@reinafoppen1166]

+Pip Smith Did you get and hiv test Pip?

[@lollipop823]

+Pip Smith stfu.

[@the3pic1_mspandourworld]

+Pip Smith no it's not

[@Chanckjh]

+Pip Smith Educate yourself...

[@vampirellasgrl3199]

+Pip Smith As a medical professional, I am saddened to read how ignorant you are Pip Smith.

[@Rotanboy]

good luck charlie! btw, is that john tortorella's twin-brother interviewing?

[@RelativelyRetroDon]

This was one of the best interviews I have seen on the Today Show. (Just my opinion...and keep in mind I have not seen every interview).

[@tonyamitchell5713]

Love Charlie so much! I am so relieved to see him sober again and back to his old self. Like a phoenix he'll rise through the ashes ..because id anyone can..I believe it's Charlie! Can't help but love him, he's genuinely a nice guy.

[@Zalezzxo]

It takes a lot of courage to do this on national TV.. mad respect for you Charlie take care💙

[@RoseRNCLNC]

So proud you Charlie! I should have written this years ago. You are a real man taking responsibility for life. Take care

[@Reese601334]

we all make mistakes I wish the best for you Sheen your still one of my favorite celebs.

[@wyattbowler8479]

He needs to start writing a book. He is journey isn't over, but I don't want him to go without writing before he passes someday

[@bettyveronica5572]

as Charlie Sheen's biggest fan since 1987 I couldn't be more proud of him. and I didn't didn't think I could respect him more but I do. the Lord bless and keep him favor him with wellness. total epic love.

[@nadiaceran9205]

He was leaving his life to the fullest. I am very proud of him to come clean and so honest about his diagnosis . Still watching his show, still my favorite. 🙏

[@mastercontrolprogram163]

Well part of the issue is he was diagnosed with HIV and he didn’t tell his sexual partners. There was more than one.

[@djennings7341]

Great for coming forward Charlie Sheen you just increase your support systems and other will learn from the Sheen story; keep yourself healthy, take care and good luck with your career goals.

[@NBATESdgm]

So he is HIV positive, but he doesn't have AIDS right??

[@geilsonneville9279]

Nop

[@NBATESdgm]

+Geilson Neville well that's cool cause that would suck actually, I like Charlie

[@nicolawoods8418]

Nope AIDS is a completely different ball game

[@shayneoneill1506]

+Nick Bates Correct. AIDs is basically the end game of untreated HIV. Back in the 80s and 90s, if you got HIV, it meant you *would* get AIDs and die. It was a death sentence. Now however the triple cocktail medication treats it so well you can have a mostly normal full length life, although you really should try to live a healthy life if you want to avoid it turning to AIDs. Sadly most of the HIV patients in the world are too poor to get the triple cocktail, and that includes a hell of a lot of americans, sadly.

[@RejectedSpiritX]

+Nick Bates HIV and AIDS are two different viruses, but HIV can transform into it. The drugs he is taking will stop the virus from becoming AIDS.

[@p1nesap]

We're rooting for ya Chaz.

[@jimmymcevoy4226]

God bless you, Charlie! Thank you for not only being so brave but for giving us so many years of entertainment and joy. Stay strong. We haven't seen enough of Charlie Sheen yet. Your new life starts right now.

[@jancloddlafront9185]

4:50 For the first time in a long time..... and Charlie goes :" Whoa...!"

[@rachelk1697]

Charlie ! we are with you...prayers love respect ...

[@theemperor4901]

With all this negativity lately its good to see someone being positive.

[@Vernostonus]

+The Emperor lol

[@Bribosome]

i know this is old news but i watched for the first time. impressive. very well said and done. i cant imagine what it must have been like to have to live through four years of that mental torture. people wonder why he slipped for a little while there, guys a gladiator, that would have reduced most to mush. extortion and threats to everything that is you, waking up everyday terrified someones going to ruin your life. good work Mr. Sheen.

[@mco7776]

Takes a lot of courage. Good for you Charlie. You are brave and we support you.

[@Suzannahartist]

Charlie clearly has wrestled with alcohol and drugs for many years (often a losing battle for him) and celebrity just amplified his demons but his saving grace now that he is out being HIV positive he probably really can do some good... Charlie Sheen like his Dad Martin Sheen... his real nature minus booze and drugs is a good nature and and generous nature so he can do good for others and will.

[@kathleenramsey2966]

He's a very brave man!!! I wish him lots of love.

[@davidaikman1920]

As someone who is pursuing the field of acting myself, not only am I extremely proud but also very nervous. Tabloids are terrible. Rumours persist for years. People always making up scathing and false things about you. It's a hard road.

[@chloejackson1384]

good for him. I admire his honesty so much

[@paplbonphanatix2]

Sheen's earned a lot of respect in my eyes, wish Lauer would have quit being so condescending

[@aesinam]

+forcebewithflem always easy to be condescending when you are not the one in the hot seat

[@iclark2400]

It's no secret that Matt Lauer is a condescending prick, and probably jealous of Charlie Sheen in general. He should have been less judgemental in his line of questioning but Charlie handled it very well.

[@iclark2400]

***** well Charlie is an alpha male and Matt Lauer is a beta so there's that for starters.

[@iclark2400]

***** yes that's pretty much it and I don't need to google TV ratings to see what they are unless I was both blind and deaf

[@djones1040gg]

+Blah1069 You should watch the other videos of him and his doctor saying the virus is suppressed (meaning an insane unlikely-hood of transmitting it to someone) and that he tells his partners that he's HIV positive before hand.

[@thepiratepeteshow2684]

Course he is stuttering, he is nerves talking about it. You can even hear the breathing and face expressions. He didn't want to talk about it, but this past week when the news broke he had to open up

[@stacyward4309]

He kinda always talked like that

[@mbuguahenrynjuguna8296]

good on you charlie.looking forward to seeing you on TV and the movies

[@TheFreedd]

well I am sorry for him, and I have to say I really apreciated how humble and honest he was. stay safe people

[@nnekagw]

Hang in there Charlie! Still one of my favs. Praying for you. 🙏🏽❤

[@nasuunasuu3806]

Loads of respect for charlie. Coming forward and taking the ammunition out of the hands of those who would use it to do him harm. #alwayswinning

[@katdel1]

Much respect for your honesty & bravery

[@donnavenwilliams7626]

Regardless if this was to get himself back in the spotlight or night I've got compassion for Charlie. Mostly because I have a similar history minus the age and hiv but most don't realize the amount of pressure it places on someone when their life is blasted all over the media and i would've probably reacted the same way he has over the past few years. Cheers to him for coming out and he looks a lot healthier. Definitely would hangout with the guy if given the chance.

[@bettyveronica5572]

Charlie Sheen He IS still the best guy for the job.

[@ScottyAtkinson]

So glad hes conquering his demons, hopefully the people blackmailing him start #losing and who knows the return on the great Charlie Sheen on the big screen. He'll be definitely #winning then! Also at the end I was expecting a man hug as the pain that main must of gone through every day, i'm not surprised he became an alcoholic and drug addict. Proud of you Charlie :)

[@85topdollar]

He can not defeat any demons without Jesus Christ. satan has him in his pocket.

[@prettycandy7884]

Agreed. Speak the Word! Amen!

[@c.melchersgmbhco.5336]

+Jesus is Lord Amen and all Sheen gotta do is surrender to Jesus and He will make a way. Amen

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

+Jesus is Lord HAIL SATAN!

[@felineexceptional]

No one can knock him for showing honesty and bravery. He's lucid and clear thinking and I hope he can do so much to raise awareness, because despite all the education in the 80s and 90s, HIV and AIDs have left the fore front of younger generations minds. I'm sure there are many other celebrities with similar diagnosis who do not show the same honesty. Well done Charlie.

[@imaniscott1712]

I feel bad for him. I hope this serves as a wake up call to people. God bless and I wish him the best. He's brave for even announcing it publicly. I hope he grows from this experience and gets back to acting again. I support you.

[@anassmouha2]

I feel Bad for the guy who's been making me laugh for a very long time !!! I wish him all the strength he needs

[@ShartySpice]

Why would he be concerned with lawsuits now if he supposedly divulged his HIV status to all sexual partners over the past four years?

[@Eatsleep864]

People like money

[@vampirellasgrl3199]

+Giuliana Rexic YOU SAID:Why would he be concerned with lawsuits now if he supposedly divulged his HIV status to all sexual partners over the past four years? MY RESPONSE: Because people can AND ARE GOING TO COME FORWARD WITH LAWSUITS SAYING THEY HAD NO IDEA. Read more Show less Reply · 1

[@zelie-catheriner52]

VampirellasGrl 100206 ...one of his "goddesses', Bree Larson, is foremost among them. She claims that even while still living with him and having sex with him every day, he kept the illness hidden, and that she's only hearing about it for the first time now. She's tested negative so far, but a massive lawsuit on her part wouldn't surprise me in the least. Enter Gloria Allred.

[@zelie-catheriner52]

VampirellasGrl 100206 bree olson, that is...

[@zelie-catheriner52]

Giuliana Rexic Hadn't thought of that. Excellent point. Whatever the actual truth, the guy is a lost soul and a low-life, as are the immature gold-diggers who get involved with him - particularly knowing what kind of person he is. I suppose I give Denise Richards a pass in that area, though, as she left him once she realized what a lost cause he was...and she seems like a responsible and loving mother to their 2 girls. I feel sorriest for his twin boys, who have already suffered profoundly as a result of his and their mother's behaviors/ lifestyles/ inability to be civil to one another ( not even sure who has custody of them at this point, as both she and Charlie have been deemed unsuitable/ unfit parents.) For better or worse, I still predict Gloria Allred will make the scene any day now...doesn't she always in cases like these ?

[@reformer6666]

Great questioning by Matt-respectful, yet firm and detailed. And much love to Charlie for his honest and very personal disclosure. You will #win this, Charlie! Forever a fan.

[@Slimakabillboard]

Great to here that he's coming out and speaking about it. Way to go.

[@Tojoj22]

Charlie your still "Winnging" We got your back

[@VCthaGOATdunker]

I'm very surprised by the reactions.

[@Jaykdasnayk]

I wish everyone who had HIV could have an interview like this on the Today show...

[@prdrrd1737]

my prayer for you charlie sheen🙏🙏🙏

[@85topdollar]

Have you stopped sinning and do you live Holy and Obey Jesus? Because if not God does not listen to your prayers.

[@brazilianniceguy]

+Jesus is Lord that's a big bullshit

[@85topdollar]

Ofcourse i have the right to ask. All sinners will burn in hell and God does not listen to prayers from sinners.

[@sparklebutt1119]

+Jesus is Lord I think you need to read a bible. Jesus spent time with prostitutes and people who were not accepted in society. God is about love and acceptance not about punishing people. I feel sorry for you.

[@prettycandy7884]

Okay, dude, what the hell are you talking about "God does not listen to sinners?!" Don''t you realize that we are all sinners no matter what?! Where did you get your crooked teaching? Wow. You are more if a disbeliever than the admitted disbelievers are because you believe-in the WRONG teachings. Whew!

[@bandz4dayz490]

Well I guess it's not "Tiger Blood" after all

[@darkangelinthedesert]

We wish you health, wellness, and happiness, Charlie. May your successful treatment continue well into the future, just as Magic Johnson's successful treatment has. By the way, the movie you did with Emilio Estevez, "Men at Work", was such a funny movie, with some great one-liners...one of my favorite comedies of all time.

[@Mikngin]

Hey Charley, you are the true I wanna be a rock star mentality but you are really such an awesome dude and wise beyond your years, so very proud to see you took this and said nobody is blackmailing me the world supports you

[@scotty]

I bet his 'Goddesses' turned on him.

[@Georgie2500]

+scotty bree olson went on Stern and was attacking him like the lunatic she is

[@michaeljohn1462]

Georgie2500 No. Don't be so ignorant - she could have contracted HIV from him. She was completely justified in feeling the way she did, because Charlie was irresponsible and selfish.

[@mikecando1717]

Prayers to the people and families that have been directly effected and prayers for Charlie. Prayers to all those that may have turned away from the goodness and teachings of Christ that they may realize His overwhelming mercy and not be afraid to turn to Him. Christ told St Faustina, "The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy. My mercy is confirmed in every work of My hands. He who trusts in My mercy will not perish, for all his affairs are Mine, and his enemies will be shattered at the base of My footstool" (Diary, 723).

Live by the sword, die by the sword, HIV is basically completely preventable and engaging in unsafe sex and drugs can ruin your life...

[@sdc3673]

Love your honesty .. Charlie... God Blessed you!

[@jameswilkins3537]

I'm sorry but this guy has had the best opportunities in life and he threw it all away, he was a favourite actor of mine in the late 80s along with Michael J Fox, in comparison with Fox I know where my empathy lies. He says in his interview that he will be active in using his influence and fame to help with HIV research and awareness so lets see what he does, I agree to do this interview took courage but sounds like it was 4 years to late and maybe only because he was going to be exposed that he decided to do it, whatever the reason his future actions will define how we remember him, I'm sorry but all this poor Charlie crap is so short sighted. Good luck to him.

[@stillwellflayerty473]

this is a very carefully planned out pr stunt

[@pyrobison2002]

Well, he'll probably have a book out soon

[@JacquelineRamirez1983]

No body is perfect, he's a human at the end of the day. Hopefully he gets to fight this battle and recovery from it. For sure he has learned his lesson. Take care Charlie.

[@xiTom1876]

I wish nothing but happiness for this man. Peace and love Charlie.

[@GivenQuality4Life]

[@bleesedbythebest]

[@sandy239b6]

+paulina aguirre Amen! Jesus is our Savior and Healer...

[@robinkarvonen8557]

+paulina aguirre God still loves Charlie and can heal him. Look at the horrible stigma he faces now. We should show human compassion for him now and forgive him.Robin K

[@elilarrea173]

Sure of course we wish him the best :)

[@sandy239b6]

***** ETs are demonic spirits that people should never get involved with...

[@marcleewilliams4927]

LOL THT FACE AT 5:39

[@t3az17]

[@goukisan2869]

[@triciasamot5537]

No one should point a finger. Shame all that toke advantage of this situation. You are a brave and honnest person and i wish you all the best!!!!

[@victorcarranza.]

Depression is real and by Charlie doing this, it inspired me deeply and made me realize everyone has their demons yet not everyone accepts them unlike Charlie. Wish you the best Charlie.

[@77sandy49]

[@nicolawoods8418]

[@amandeepgill1559]

[@9crazyvanrotje]

Up most respect ...Hoop you will be able to overcome this man, be strong!

[@choklit4u]

he sure is stut...stut....stuttering 😬

[@SimplyLimbo]

he had a stutter problem as a child. but what he said in the first part isnt true, cuz if he himself didnt knew it, he cant know who he gave it too. And obviously the pictures about the medicines is true, evidently, the time that he had sex with that particular girl it was without a condom. He said to her:' Can you get my aids medicine out of the cabinet', she tought he was joking, but he was not. She fled her area and contacted a friend a while later and told him about it.

[@choklit4u]

If he told all of his partners then he wouldn't need to be forced to tell his personal business

[@SoulGlamGrl90]

+choklit4u EXACTLY!!!!!!!!

[@toynazi]

+choklit4u He was being extorted for money. If he didn't pay they were going to out him. That's why he went public.

[@choklit4u]

Well he has BEEN paying

[@rafazapatta8471]

Charlie Shenn is a great actor. I remember "Platoon" in 1986. God won't abandon him never.

[@feelingmattertv381]

Respect 💯

[@sunflower-oo1ff]

You can do this Charlie ... stand tall... lots of love your way .
