Charlie Sheen Says Mexican Cartel Cut Him Off Over Massive Cocaine Orders

The 60 Minutes appearance presented his self-reported past excesses as part of a public accounting.

Overview

  • In Australia’s 60 Minutes interview on Sept. 21, Sheen said a Mexico-based trafficking network refused to supply him after seeing the quantities he requested.
  • He said suppliers assumed he was reselling because the amounts matched dealer-level “weight.”
  • He acknowledged smoking crack from batches described as seven grams and quipped he needed a “bigger pipe,” then agreed he was lucky to be alive.
  • He said he disclosed past sexual encounters with men to blunt extortion and recalled revealing his HIV status in 2015 to feel “free.”
  • He is promoting The Book of Sheen (released Sept. 9) and Netflix’s Aka Charlie Sheen (Sept. 10) and says he has been sober since 2017, crediting daughter Sami.
