Overview

• Sheen, 60, told Shepard he had carried the guilt for years, calling himself "a dick" and an "a------ 5,000."
• He said the exchange happened around Halloween when he was stressed by parenting very young children and blurted, "Try it with f------ kids, dude."
• Shepard, 50, said he did not remember the incident, accepted the apology, and reflected that amends often weigh more on the apologizer than the recipient.
• The on-air exchange came during the Oct. 6 episode of Armchair Expert, where Sheen recounted wanting to "make that right" soon after but never doing so until now.
• Coverage places the apology within Sheen's current make-amends drive tied to The Book of Sheen and Netflix's aka Charlie Sheen, following his stated hopes to repair ties with former co-star Jon Cryer.
