Charlie Sheen HIV Scandal: Ex-Wife Brooke Mueller Opens Up!

With Charlie Sheen’s highly touted Today Show interview just hours away, his (many) ex-wives and partners are beginning to open up about the actor’s HIV-positive status.

Yesterday, Bree Olson revealed she did not contract HIV from her ex-boyfriend.

Now, Sheen’s ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, is opening up about Sheen and her own health status. According to Radar Online, Sheen “potentially” exposed Mueller to HIV.

Mueller, who was married to Sheen from 2008 to 2011, learned the news of her ex’s health status years ago when he was first diagnosed with the disease.

Of course, she didn’t take the news well.  

But now that Sheen’s HIV diagnosis is no longer a secret, Mueller has revealed the details of a series of rambling text messages sent to Sheen’s assistant when she learned Sheen may had exposed her to HIV.

“I couldn’t handle the HIV news,” she said. 

Mueller added, “Charlie potentially giving me HIV. I started doing heavy drugs with Charlie, staying up for days and it made my brain misfire. I snapped.”

“I feel awful,” she stated in another text. “Totally disgusted by myself. I have to talk to him about our kids. I desperately need to talk to him. Does he have five minutes for me?”

Until now though, Sheen and his ex-partners have remained tight lipped about the situation.

Likely this is because the disease has faced a negative social stigma over the years.  As a result, Sheen has allegedly hidden his diagnosis for years, fearing Hollywood would shun him. 

And according to rumors, Sheen may have paid off at least one of his former partners to keep quiet.

Although some of his partners have reported a clean bill of health, at least four women have claimed that the actor exposed them to the virus.

Some sources also claim that there are currently several active lawsuits against Sheen, citing that he knowingly exposed his partners to HIV.

One source told The Enquirer that  “Charlie had sex with multiple partners since learning his HIV status without informing them of his potentially deadly HIV infection.”

Sheen is scheduled to address the issue with Matt Lauer this morning.

Of course, no one wishes the disease upon Charlie Sheen (or anyone else). But if he knowingly exposed his partners to the virus, things will likely get ugly.

However, it has not been officially confirmed if he did, in fact, knowingly expose anyone to HIV.

This story is still developing.  As always with Charlie Sheen, there will be more to come.

Currently, more than 1.2 million people in the United States are living with either HIV or AIDS.  To learn more about the disease or to find out how to get tested, visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Betsy Drake Dies; Actress, Ex-Wife of Cary Grant Was 92

Betsy Drake – star of over a dozen films and third wife of screen icon Cary Grant – has passed away at the age of 92.

Reports indicate that Drake died at her home in London on October 27, but news of her passing just became public last night. 

Though her acting career was short-lived, Drake’s life was the stuff of Hollywood lore, and her marriage to Grant (the longest of his five unions) made her a household name for fans of celebrity gossip in the 1950s.

Of course, Drake was far more than just a Hollywood housewife.

After quitting acting, Drake turned to writing, but the manuscript for her first novel was lost at sea (along with $ 200,000 worth of jewelry) when she survived the sinking of the SS Andrea Doria in 1956.

Drake went on to study at Harvard and the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute.

Along with Grant (with whom she remained close friends throughout her life), Drake was an early proponent of the psychological benefits of LSD.

At the time, the drug was still legal, and she and Grant introduced several friends to hallucinogens long before they became popular in the mid-60s.

Drake was ahead of her time in many other ways, as well. 

Though she gave her up her career to dote on Grant, she later became something of proto-feminist, often commenting on modern marriage and the state of women in the film business in ways that shocked the old guard.

“The freedom to eat rare meat, drink red wine and not watch television made up for the agony of divorce,” she once remarked in an interview.

Drake never remarried, and friends say she spent her final years writing poetry, painting, and riding her beloved bicycle.

Melissa Mathison Dies; E.T. Screenwriter, Ex-Wife of Harrison Ford Was 65

Melissa Mathison – the screenwriter best known for her work on such classic family films such as The Black Stallion, E.T., and The Indian in the Cupboard – has passed away at the age of 65.

According her family, Mathison had been battling neuroendocrine cancer.

E.T. director Steven Spielberg expressed his condolences in a statement reading, “Melissa had a heart that shined with generosity and love and burned as bright as the heart she gave E.T.”

As a screenwriter and consultant, Mathison had more than a dozen credits to her name, including The Escape Artist, Twilight Zone: The Movie,  Son of the Morning Star, and the acclaimed Martin Scorsese-Brad Pitt collaboration, Kundun.

From 1983 to 2004, Mathison was married to actor Harrison Ford. The couple had two children together, Malcolm Carswell Ford, and Georgia Ford.

At the time of her death, Mathison was working with Spielberg once again, this time on an adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl novel The BFG.

In addition to her work in Hollywood, Mathison was a member of the International Campaign for Tibet and had spent decades tirelessly campaigning to help the beleaguered region secure its independence from China.

In addition to her children, Mathison is survived by four siblings.

Dean McDermott Owes Ex-Wife HOW MUCH in Child Support?!

Dean McDermott has done an excellent job over the years proving he is a loser.

Earlier this year, after hackers released the names of 25 million Ashley Madison users, Tori Spelling believed Dean used Ashley Madison to cheat.  Of course, her suspicion comes after years of terrible behavior from the unemployed actor.

But while Dean was busy slinging his schlong around, there’s one thing he wasn’t doing—paying child support and alimony to his ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace.

The out-of-work actor quit his job as the host of Chopped Canada in March.  And now he owes his ex $ 45,000 in child support and alimony payments.

According to an insider, “Dean hasn’t paid a dime since February.”

Mary Jo doesn’t seem to be hard for cash.  The 53-year-old Canadian chef and author makes plenty of her own money.  But she does believe Dean should be helping their son.

“Dean owes it to Jack,” the source explained.

The insider explained the Dean simply can’t pay up: “He says he’s flat broke and just doesn’t have the money.”

Previously, Radar Online reported that Dean and his current wife, Tori Spelling, are seriously broke.  The report even claimed they have been living “paycheck to paycheck.” Things got so rough that in an attempt to get some quick cash, the couple had a yard sale over the summer.

McDermott has had plenty of problems and scandals throughout the past few years.  In January 2013, Dean checked into rehab after a slew of public eff ups, including cheating on his wife.

Terrence Howard -- Bring On the Ex-Wife

Z STAFF

Terrence Howard was weirdly in an armlock at the Emmys with one of his divorced wives, and they were both wearing wedding bling.

Mira Pak was clutching Terrence’s arm as they mugged for the camera.

Terrence and Mira were married on October 2013, but she filed for divorce this March. She gave birth to their son 2 months later. The divorce became final in July.

So it’s surprising that not only are they together, they’re wearing rings.
