Charlie Sheen Says Mexican Cartel Cut Off His Drug Supply After Massive Purchases

The claim surfaced in interviews promoting a Netflix documentary alongside a memoir chronicling his addiction recovery.

Overview

  • In 60 Minutes Australia, Sheen said traffickers stopped selling to him because the quantities he bought matched what they reserved for distributors.
  • He recounted smoking large crack rocks and quipped about needing a bigger pipe, while acknowledging he was lucky to survive his drug use.
  • He has released The Book of Sheen and says he has been sober for eight years, describing the act of writing about his past as liberating.
  • He says he had sexual encounters with men during crack use and paid to suppress material, and he described his 2015 HIV disclosure as a relief from extortion.
  • The two-part Netflix documentary includes accounts from Denise Richards, Brooke Mueller, Sean Penn, Jon Cryer and an ex-dealer, with some family offering support off camera as he revisits his 2011 firing from Two and a Half Men.
