Charlie Sheen has made shocking revelations about his past, leaving fans stunned and emotional. The Two and a Half Men star opened up in his upcoming Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen and memoir The Book of Sheen, where he revealed details about his struggles with drugs, sex, and the painful secrets he carried for years.

The 60-year-old actor confessed that during the height of his addiction, he had sexual encounters with men and spent around $53,000 on prostitutes. Sheen admitted that his sex life became a dangerous secret, one that led to "a tremendous amount of extortion," leaving him feeling like he was being "held hostage." His confessions have sparked a wave of strong reactions from fans who grew up watching him on TV.

In the Netflix documentary, Sheen describes finally talking about his past as "liberating." "It's f***ing liberating... just to talk about stuff," Sheen said, explaining how he felt free after years of shame and secrecy.

He revealed that his encounters with men began when he was using crack cocaine. "That's what started it," he said. "Some of it was weird, a lot of it was fun. Life goes on." Sheen also credited his former drug dealer, Marco, for helping him slowly get clean by substituting baking soda for drugs to wean him off. His memoir, The Book of Sheen, will be published on September 9, followed by the Netflix series premiering on September 10.
