This story was 18 months in the making and then, suddenly, NBC announced that Sheen was sitting down for an exclusive interview with Matt Lauer were he was set to reveal something personal.
And sure enough, Sheen kept to the script and acknowledged that he was HIV positive and had been for four years. “I’m here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive,” Sheen said. “It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life.” It’s also, as it turns out, been a costly exercise keeping his secret at bay, with Sheen admitting to paying “upwards of 10 million dollars” to people who blackmailed him about releasing information relating to his health and says that by coming clean about his HIV, he is now released from a self-imposed prison of treason by those who betrayed his trust.
While the 50-year-old was frank about the disease, he admitted that he was “not entirely” sure how he contracted the virus. But given his hell-raising antics and drug-fueled binges, plus the sordid company he keeps, it wasn’t exactly earth-shattering news that his hedonist lifestyle finally caught up with him. The Hollywood hell-raiser is no stranger to trouble, which has seen him snare column inches after column inches.
