While the merriment continues to bubble merrily on Charlie Sheen’s top-rated sitcom, Two and a Half Men, the dark side of ha-ha festers on the homefront. It has come to light that Sheen may have caused – or had a part in – the death of a rack-heavy porn star who told the National Enquirer last March that Sheen paid her $15,000 for sex, and set in motion the ugly divorce-inducing rift between him and Denise Richards. In a sworn declaration (available for ogling on The Smoking Gun, bless its little heart), Richards says she asked her hubby about it and he didn’t deny it. “No comment,” he said. During their marriage, Richards maintains, Sheen was a bully, assaulting her and threatening her life and, according to her statement, not only was he addicted to gambling and prostitutes, but he spent much of his time surfing porn on the internet, visiting sites “which promoted very young girls, who looked underage to me with pigtails, braces, and no pubic hair performing oral sex with each other” and other sites that featured “gay pornography also involving very young men who also did not look like adults.” Also it seems that Sheen’s speech, when working without a script at home, lacked the clever bon mots that pepper his sitcom dialogue and reverted to an unpleasant default setting.
