Inside Charlie Sheen’s HIV Diagnosis and Lawsuit Settlement

Charlie Sheen led a wild and fun life in the 90s and early 2000s. Unfortunately, it came with consequences, including overdoses and HIV.

He revealed his diagnosis in 2015, and since then, many people have come forward confessing that they got HIV because of the Two and Half Men actor.

Recently, he resolved a lawsuit by settling with his former lover, who claimed the same.

Charlie Sheen and the lawsuit

Sheen has finally resolved a lawsuit launched in 2017 by his former lover, who alleged that the star had exposed her to HIV. According to paperwork acquired by TMZ, Sheen promised to pay the woman $120,000 in $10K monthly payments over the next year.

The lady allegedly filed the complaint as Jane Doe and sought to conceal Sheen’s identity by referring to him as a “confident male defendant” at first. She did, however, mention that the guy she was suing disclosed his diagnosis on national television on November 17, 2015.

The lady claimed to have had unprotected sexual intercourse with Sheen, who reportedly did not share his illness. Later, he ordered her to take medicines to prevent the virus from spreading. 

She said that the Scary Movie 3 star also instructed her not to trust the “convenient rumors of the medical community.” Sheen has not responded to him settling the lawsuit yet.

In addition to the current case, Charlie Sheen’s former fiancée Brett Rossi sued the star in 2015 on identical grounds. She said Sheen had exposed her to the virus and disclosed that the two had been physically intimate at least five times before she learned of his condition.

Rossi also accused Sheen of physically and emotionally abusing her. Bree Olson, another of the actor’s ex-wives, said in 2015 that he never told her about his sickness.

Charlie Sheen’s HIV Diagnosis

Sheen caught HIV in 2011 but only officially confirmed his illness in 2015. On November 17, 2015, the actor said he kept his medical condition a secret from at least two partners but used protective measures.

Charlie Sheen revealed his HIV diagnosis in an exclusive Today show interview with Matt Lauer on November 17, 2015. At the moment, he commented that his diagnosis was a difficult three letters to digest.

During the conversation, the actor disclosed that he was diagnosed with HIV nearly four years ago but had no idea how the virus got into his body. He confessed that it began with excruciating headaches, which he suspected were brain tumors.

Later, he found out that it was HIV. However, he did not want to reveal it to the world and kept it a secret.

The Golden Globe winner also said that even if he told people he trusted about his ailment, he would pay them up to $10 million to keep his diagnosis a secret.

He said, “What people forget is that that’s money they’re taking from my children. I trusted them and they were deep in my inner circle, and I thought they could be helpful. My trust turned to their treason.”

Sheen went on to say that he chose to make a public proclamation to put an end to the extortion attempts and claimed fake tales about him. The actor stated purposefully transmitting the infection to others was “impossible.” 

Despite admitting to having an unprotected physical interaction with two women after his diagnosis, he claimed that both were informed and under medical supervision.

In a live interview with Piers Morgan at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 2016, Sheen disputed accusations of having unsafe sexual encounters since testing positive for HIV.

Despite escalating claims from his former relationships, the actor maintained that no one had been infected by him. On the other hand, Sheen has not always informed his partner of his diagnosis. 

This was mainly because he did not want it to be used against him for financial gain. He said, “The only couple of times I didn’t tell somebody was because the last 25 times I’d told somebody, they used it against me, and they used my medical condition for their own folly and financial gain.”

Sheen discussed his illness further during a 2017 interview on Good Morning America, telling Michael Strahan that he wanted to quit after being diagnosed with HIV.

Thankfully, he soon discovered he could live with the condition, and he could do so with the help of medicines and tablets. According to reports, Sheen’s therapy included a triple cocktail of antiviral medications. 

In a 2016 episode of The Dr. Oz Show, the actor discussed going off his medications for approximately a week to undergo alternative treatment from Sam Chachoua in Mexico. He did, however, finally restart his meds.

Currently, Sheen is living a healthy life because of medications, despite being diagnosed with HIV.

While the actor has mentioned he might have found inspiration from Harrison Poe, a gay former drag queen, and portrayed the younger brother of a gay character on-screen, it’s important to distinguish between his personal and professional lives.

Peter Tanner attends a private high school where his older brother happens to be a member of the winning basketball team and is gay.

When discussing his role, Doran mentioned, “Without giving away too much, I’d like to think that we are similar in the way that I have a brother too, I happen to be the older brother… Peter is the younger brother.” 

However, the rising actor quickly clarified that he does not share Peter’s prejudices toward his older brother’s sexuality. 

Doran also expressed he strives to distance himself from any biases and prejudices portrayed by his character, highlighting his open-mindedness and acceptance in real life.

Ty Doran is dating his girlfriend, Harley Kirchhoff

Doran has been in a relationship with his girlfriend, Harley Kirchhoff, although the couple has chosen to keep their romance relatively private.

Since then, Kirchhoff has often made appearances on Doran’s Instagram. For instance, on November 1, 2022, Doran shared several pictures of himself and his girlfriend, expressing his appreciation for their memorable weekend in New York. 

The most recent picture the Manifest actor posted featuring his girlfriend, Kirchhoff, dates back to March 15, 2023.

After completing his studies at the esteemed Kinkaid School in Houston, Texas, Doran decided to explore on-camera work, which he described as a “whole different beast” compared to theater. 

Despite the new challenges and excitement of working in front of a camera, his passion for acting remained steadfast. 

The actor decided to further his education at Northwestern University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Theater in 2020.

Ty Doran followed his father’s path

Doran was born on October 29, 1997, in Houston, Texas, to his father, Justin Doran, and mother, Robin Schreyer Doran. 

His journey into acting was influenced by his father, who is also an actor and director. His very first role in A Midsummer Night’s Dream was under the direction of his dad.

His father would prepare him for auditions and shows, working on scenes together and even sharing the stage in productions.

Growing up, he had the company of two siblings: a brother named Jackson Doran and a sister named Caleigh Doran.

Sean Blakemore Talks About Being A Black Actor In Hollywood

Racism is rampant to date despite people being aware of how wrong it is. 

Every single day we hear news about hatred and discrimination rooted in racism, especially against Black people. The Hollywood industry is no different. 

Many people of color have spoken up about being discriminated against in the industry. Recently, Sean Blakemore shared his experience about being a black actor in Hollywood and typecasting on the basis of race. 

He sat down with People in June 2023 and talked about the upcoming season of Cruel Summer. During the conversation, he revealed how he still needed to fight for opportunities in the entertainment industry.

Sean Blakemore on typecasting and Hollywood

Blakemore told People how people of color still had to fight for equal pay. Moreover, typecasting according to race was extremely prominent.

He pointed out how people of color do not have voice equality “to not play certain roles or be typecast in certain types of roles because we are beyond that.” “We are everything,” he asserted.

He shared the importance of being able to play various characters rather than being stereotyped. He gave an example of himself as a black actor and noted, “To be a diverse actor as an African American male — tall, I’m 6’1, 220 [pounds], dark skin — they can very easily want to lock you in the box.”

Unfortunately, because of typecasting based on race, Blakemore has to fight the stereotype. “And you have to fight that. And you have to make sure that you’re seen as a vast character, not just a strong image,” he said.

The actor hoped that typecasting would decrease in the future and that black actors could break stereotypes in Hollywood. He encouraged the audience to look beyond race since there were many layers he, as well as other people of color, possessed.

Blakemore emphasized being able to partake and play various characters that would not lock him inside a stereotype. He said, “So I’m not [just] a Black actor. I love being a Black man — let’s be clear — but I’m an actor, so it’s [more] about: ‘Can this person portray the role, period?’”

He understood that if race had something to do with a particular role, then it is understandable. But apart from that, people of color should not be forced into just playing a stereotypical role.

He claimed, “But even then, can he or she do the role? Because it should be based upon your skillset, not your skin tone.” All in all, Blakemore simply wants a safe space for people of different races in the Hollywood industry.

Sean Blakemore’s career

Blakemore is an American actor with a recurring role as Shawn Butler on the ABC daytime program General Hospital. He started playing the part on January 21, 2011. 

For his work on General Hospital, Blakemore was nominated in 2012 for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He later won the award in 2016. 

He left the show in 2015, and later, he returned to it for guest appearances in November 2015 and April 2016. In April 2021, Blakemore reprised his role as Butler once more.

Blakemore has made an appearance in episodes of shows including ER, Monk, The Shield, Cold Case, NCIS, and Bones. In recognition of his depiction of Ric Jackson in the indie romance movie Big Ain’t Bad, he received the Auds award at the Hollywood Black Film Festival.

Sang Heon Lee On Filming Kissing Scenes In Front Of Sister

Ever since the premiere of XO, Kitty, the stars Sang Heon Lee and Gia Kim have gained quite a fanbase. This happened especially after it was revealed that they were siblings in real life.

The pair have delighted fans with their adorable moments together both on and off-screen. From various interviews and heartfelt birthday tributes featuring nostalgic photos to relatable carpool karaoke sessions — the two have shared a lot of moments with their fans and followers.

During those interviews, Lee and Kim showcased that they have a very close bond with each other. However, despite being close to each other, there are certain boundaries they are unwilling to cross, particularly in Lee’s case.

Recently, Lee candidly shared his most awkward and embarrassing experience on the set of XO, Kitty, and it all centered around his sister’s presence. During an interview with Netflix, the actor confessed that his sister being on set while he filmed a particular scene made him uncomfortable and cringe to an unimaginable extent.

Sang Heon Lee did not want his sister on-set 

When Lee had to do a kiss scene with Jocelyn Shelfo in XO, Kitty, he did not want his sister on set with him. He started, “I didn’t want her to be there, and, oh my gosh, it was just so awkward.”

Kim knew what her brother was about to say, so she started giggling and teasing Lee, who was cringing remembering the set and the scene. While filming his kiss scene with Shelfo, Lee saw Kim behind the DJ booth set.

He then asked her to go away while he filmed the scene, only for Kim to decline him. He said, “She was like, ‘No!’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean, no?! You want to see your brother kiss someone?’ I think that was my foremost awkward and embarrassing moment.”

Kim reassured her brother and confessed that she did not actually see him kiss Shelfo. Regardless, Lee was still awkward from the incident and said, “It’s just wrong, isn’t it? Yeah, like it was so awful.”

Gia then humorously responded, “It’s okay, darling. I have watched everything.” The video snippet was shared by Xo, Kitty’s Instagram account, @xokittynetflix.

Sang Heon Lee commented with facepalm emojis on a video of him and his sister.

They captioned the post, “Sang Heon Lee says filming the kissing scenes in front of his sister, Gia Kim, is his most embarrassing moment.” Lee took to comment to emphasize the discomfort he experienced using several facepalm emojis.

Sang Heon Lee and Gia Kim in ‘Xo, Kitty’

Lee and Kim’s role in Xo, Kitty is quite iconic. The two are not siblings on the show and do not interact much in the show.

Kim portrays Yuri, the It girl of the show. She is confident, well-dressed, and effortlessly elegant… even if she isn’t always permitted to be that person. 

Early in the first episode, we learn that Yuri is still grieving from her parents discovering a love relationship between her and her closest friend Juliana, which caused Juliana to switch schools. 

A devastated adolescent girl lurks underneath the confident veneer of Yuri. Lee’s character is no less than that of his sister.

He plays the role of Min Ho, who is like the “It boy.” He is somewhat of an arrogant schoolboy who ignores Kitty, claiming not to understand English.

But in reality, he is just a guy with a tough surface and a golden heart.
