Charlie Sheen’s Netflix Doc and Memoir Draw Daughter’s Reaction and Renewed Scrutiny

The releases frame his recovery as beginning after a 2017 moment with daughter Sami.

Overview

  • The two-part documentary aka Charlie Sheen is now streaming on Netflix, arriving alongside his memoir The Book of Sheen published earlier this week.
  • Sami Sheen posted a teary TikTok saying, “I didn’t know I was the reason he got sober,” and called the film “a 10/10,” signaling a possible thaw after estrangement.
  • Sheen recounts extreme substance use and on-set crises, including his 2011 claim of seven grams of crack and an ice-cube incident to stay awake, and says a counselor enlisted his supplier Marco to taper cocaine potency.
  • Family and friends such as Denise Richards, Brooke Mueller, Jon Cryer, Sean Penn and Chris Tucker appear with candid testimony, while Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez declined to participate and are acknowledged as absent.
  • Early reviews describe the project as forthright and engaging yet fault it for skimming deeper accountability on serious allegations and consequences.
