Charlie Sheen to pen details of career, HIV diagnosis in memoir
Entertainment Tonight reports Sheen’s manager, Mark Burg, is meeting with publishers regarding the potential book, which would also reflect on his acting career. Yesterday Charlie exposed in that he’s HIV-positive on ‘The Today Show.’ The nameless lover allegedly exclusively discovered he was HIV-positive when after a 12-hour drug, alcohol & sex marathon, the spaced-out superstar asked her to fetch his medication.
Recalling her time with Sheen, the actress said, “Before we do a job, we have to sign a piece of paper that says, ‘Do you have cold sores?’ I’m like, ‘Wait a second”.
High profile celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred has disclosed that several ex-girlfriends of Charlie Sheen have contacted her for legal advice, particularly on their “rights” following Sheen’s recent revelation that he is HIV-positive.
She said: “I wouldn’t sleep with anybody until I got the right paperwork, so the fact that playing his love interest on the show, I go like “ick, ugh, that’s not fair”.
On 17 November, Sheen revealed to Matt Lauer he had paid “enough to take it into the millions” to keep people from going public about his illness. Every actress (and actor for that matter) must disclose hundreds of personal health matters before ever being allowed to set foot on a film set.
She said that she met Sheen’s doctor Robert Huizenga and that, after being told Sheen had “undetectable” levels of the virus in his blood, she took medication to help prevent the transmission of disease.
“Yet an actor who interacts physically with dozens of actresses in intimate scenes, is not required to disclose that he has HIV?”.
Bruce said, “There’s a very big scare about HIV out there and I think that’s just a lot of social stigma that came from back when there wasn’t treatment for this and this was a death sentence”.
