Overview

• The Book of Sheen was published Tuesday, with Netflix’s two-part aka Charlie Sheen debuting Wednesday.
• In a Good Morning America interview, he said alcohol once eased a lifelong stutter and detailed decades of substance abuse now chronicled in the memoir.
• He disclosed having sexual encounters with men during periods of crack use and says he felt extorted by people who had recordings or leverage over his private life.
• He writes that his 2011 HIV diagnosis brought a sense of relief because effective treatment was available.
• The memoir also claims heavy use of a legal testosterone cream contributed to his 2011 behavior, a self-reported account, and he now says he has been sober since 2017, celibate since then, and open to returning to acting.
