Charlie Sheen was fired from Two and a Half Men in 2011 after publicly insulting producer Chuck Lorre. Despite giving up his $1.6 million per episode earnings for a brief moment of anger, Sheen did not appear remorseful and continued to inflict more damage on his career.
His financial state also declined rapidly since no one would employ him due to his intolerable behavior. On the verge of losing his expensive Beverly Hills mansion to a £60,000 mortgage debt, he sold it for about a quarter less than its asking price at $8.2 million.
Unknown to most, Sheen was diagnosed with HIV in 2011 and turned to alcohol and a life-threatening amount of drugs to cope with his illness. He also spent millions silencing those who knew about his condition and could only express himself through angry outbursts such as the one against Lorre.
He later retreated from the spotlight and appears to be testing the waters once again with a subtle comeback via TV series. He admitted to feeling shame due to his past behavior, noting that he was surprised at Lorre’s willingness to work with him on Bookie after the damage was done. Sheen looks forward to acting full-time again but is also managing his expectations because not everyone is as forgiving as Lorre.
Although his career and financial state crumbled before his eyes, some luck shone on Sheen’s love life after he began dating model Julia Stambler, who was his kids’ nanny, while married to their mother, Brooke Meuller. Julia seemed to be in love and was unbothered by Sheen’s HIV diagnosis since they were on anti-viral drugs and used protection during sex.
Meanwhile, Sheen was not the most financially present father during these times, having gone to court to seek a reduction in child support for his five children, Cassandra, Sami, Lola, and twin boys Bob and Max. It appears Sheen and Julia are no longer an item, as the latter was recently seen cozying up with musician Sean Stewart.
