Charlie Sheen On The Effects Of His Polyamorous Relationship On His Children
Charlie Sheen has made headlines many times due to his controversial personal life. From his d*ug troubles to being fired from his popular sitcom Two and a Half Men, the actor has been in the news for many of his shenanigans (via The Guardian). Sheen has also been known for his highly publicized courtships.
In 2011, Sheen made headlines again when he revealed that he was in a polyamorous relationship with his two 24-year-old girlfriends. Called the ‘goddesses’, the two women reportedly had a personal relationship with him as well as with each other. One of them was adult-film star Rachel Oberlin a.k.a Bree Olsen (via ABC News).
When asked if his unusual love life would affect his children, his twins, with actress Denise Richards, he said that it would not and that he was not worried about it. He said to ABC News,
I’m not gonna worry about it, or I can say, ‘Hey, kids, your dad’s a rockstar. Look at his experiences. Look at what he survived.’ Bang. There are some of your lessons, but the real lessons are gonna be in the future.
The actor also mentioned that the arrangement was extremely beneficial for him and that there was only love around the house.
Charlie Sheen’s Polyamorous Relationship May Not Have Been As Drama-Free As He Claimed
Charlie Sheen has opened up about his polyamorous relationship with graphic designer Natalie Kenly and adult film star Bree Olsen multiple times. The actor often described the relationship as perfect and ideal, free of jealousy and any kind of malic. However, the Two and a Half Men star may have been exaggerating on that front.
By the middle of 2011, both of his girlfriends reportedly left him and Olsen opened up about the nature of their relationship. Saying that she was initially unaware of Kenly’s presence and they tried to make it work, Olsen said they were competing for Sheen’s attention. She said to The Toronto Sun,
I would never try it again – with two girls and one guy in a relationship. However cool a girl tries to say she is about it, jealousy is a natural human reaction. There are too many things in the way. And if I can’t do it – a former p*rn star – there isn’t much hope for anyone else…
The actor also revealed that he was diagnosed with HIV in 2015 and mentioned that he had been suffering from the disease for over four years at the time (via The Guardian).
