Charlie Sheen: “Women Are Not To Be Hit, They’re To Be Hugged And Caressed”

In the event that you lead a rich and rewarding life, you are probably well aware of the real-time drama that has unfolded, over various media outlets in the last few days, involving embattled TV actor Charlie Sheen. The latest installment? A live and in-studio interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, who seemed to be more chummy than challenging for much of the discussion, until he mentioned the subject of girlfriend abuse.

After taping interviews with TODAY and ABC News 20/20, Sheen broke new media territory with a live-streamed backyard interview with TMZ that set Twitter aflutter, seemingly winning over the suddenly slack-jawed set of cynical snarkers who follow such things live on social media platforms. So tonight’s booking by Morgan’s producers of the current “It Boy” of the moment was not only a huge victory for CNN and its newly launched show, but also for you, the TV viewer, who had been teased with classic crazy banter from the embattled Mr. Sheen all day via the Internet. At least in theory.

Morgan opened the show by revealing that he and Sheen had a prior history of being chummy, and proved that point by showing an image of Sheen and Morgan in ski gear, from the slopes of Aspen, Colorado’ where they had previously palled around together. In hindsight, this seemed to be a mistake, because the image of interviewer and subject having a laugh during lighter times highlighted a critique echoed across Twitter during the interview: Morgan was acting more as Sheen’s buddy and less his interrogator. Given Sheen’s bizarre behavior of the last few days, the occasion called for a tough interrogation, and not a supportive (some might say enabling) tone.

In Morgan’s defense, Sheen seemed much more relaxed, exhausted, or just less passionate in this interview than those he gave earlier. Maybe he got all the “crazy” out of his system, as the first few segments lacked focus, energy, and noteworthy moments. But that changed when Morgan asked Sheen about his alleged history of beating girlfriends and spouses, either physically or verbally.

For some reason, I actually believe Charlie…lol, which is crazy to me.

I love this guy. He’s getting funnier by the day. He’s like an F-18, bro!

Charlie is presenting about a dozen symptoms of someone who is still using, and AA vet Bob Bechtel on Fox TV, a dude who is a died-in-the-wool liberal, insists that Sheen was as high as a kite during two of the interviews he watched. There are dozens of ways to “pass” a drug test to say that one is clean, especially if the dude makes $1.2 million per episode as CS does for his sitcom.

I wouldn’t mind his partying hard if he didn’t endanger both his pornstar babes and his “nanny-goddess” for his kids, but also engaged in manifestly illegal activity by encouraging a lot of kids to follow his example because it’s a way of showing how “radical” one is.

Piers Morgan is an idiot and Baba Wawa is silly to have Sheen or his apologists on their shows. Why not encourage kids to snort rat poison, it’s just as healthy…!

Deputy Bret King should add Charlie’s photos to his shocking mug shots of the effects of drugs on people.

Morgan, and those like him, are a huge part of an addicts problem. Enablers.

If these people want to help him, quit interviewing him – showcasing his trainwreck, and throw his butt in a hospital.

Charlie Sheen is an actor on a media blitz in an attempt to save his immediate career.

As far as I’m aware, he hasn’t been charged with any crimes; he’s not under indictment; he hasn’t swindled anyone and he’s not a deposed dictator. Right now, he’s just a guy on a hastily-arranged, daily-booked publicity tour and though it would’ve received some coverage if Charlie had walked off the set, Morgan wouldn’t have had a guest and there would be fewer clips to be embedded on the blogs.

Personally, I’ve known a few people like Charlie Sheen over the years. The tend to move a lot faster and require a more energy than I like to put into a good time or just hanging out, but I’d never say that they need a tough interrogation. It’s their lives and as long as they don’t harm another person, they’re free to do as they please.

ETA: I realize that there’s an adult film actress, erotic massage therapist or some other euphemism who claims to have been terrorized by Mr. Sheen in a New York hotel. I haven’t really followed the case, but I assume she’s filed a civil suit or has reached some kind of settlement, which is where that case belongs.

The reports on this make everyone believe that Sheen has walked away a free man, but charges of felony menacing, third degree assault, and criminal mischief are still pending. Despite these pending charges, though, shooting of the last four episodes of Two and a Half Men for this season will resume this week. When that is wrapped up, Sheen will be spending time with his children during his hiatus.

that article is from a year ago, so not sure if the charges are still pending, i think he pled guilty to a misdemeanor – but i posted it to show the charges.

He has already harmed people. I guess we can just ignore his treatment of women.
WHen he hits bottom, come back and tell us what a wonderful guy he is.

@sarainitaly: Maybe I’m wrong and there are still charges pending somewhere, but the Aspen case has concluded with him receiving 30 days probation. IOW: A court of law has ruled and under oath there was testimony or an agreement made, so though Morgan could have raised question, one assumes he’s already been interrogated by those who count.

@Dave Richards: I’m not saying that Sheen is a wonderful guy and if he wanted to date my sister, I’d probably take a measure of her thinking and maybe give him some kind of warning. My point was that Sheen isn’t that important and a “tough interrogation” by the host of an interview show to entertain our most basic voyeuristic tendencies isn’t required.
Probably NOT wrong

It was argued on these very boards that in the case of Jared Loughner , the State and society had dropped the ball and not intervened in some one way . Money aside , prior to Laughner picking up a gun , is there a real demonstrable difference in their behavior ?

A real man does not hit women, although he may occasionally mock their makeup and what they’re wearing.

and he crashes his car and is charged with DUI in 4, 3, 2…

The state and the system has had dealings with Mr. Sheen and perhaps if they feel the need, they should intervene. My point was that Piers Morgan didn’t have an obligation to provide a “tough interrogation” and because what he says could be used against him, but wouldn’t really count in his favor, Mr. Sheen would have no obligation to undergo a tough questioning from anyone in the media.

Morgan kept him at the table. I didn’t see the full interview and because I was otherwise involved yesterday, I don’t know how much advance publicity was given, but having the interview and providing the clips works to Morgan’s advantage and even if he was so tough on Sheen that he might have walked out, it could easily be dismissed because in the end, Charlie Sheen really doesn’t matter in the scheme of things.

Sigh…I believe in the old style of “Net Neutrality”.

As weird and icky as that was…I’m glad that Charlie was able to speak his statements.

That should always be an option.

I am a conservative but I do believe in the Internet. I will not apologize.
