Charlie Sheen in a recent interview with NBC has admitted being HIV positive for four years now. According to him, a few people who knew it demanded money from him to keep the secret.
"I am here to
admit that I am in fact HIV positive and I have to put a stop to this
onslaught, this barrage of attacks, of sub-truths – very harmful … stories that
are threatening the health of so many others,” the actor told NBC’s Today show on
Tuesday.
Sheen claimed that
people who knew his HIV-positive status had extorted money from him to keep it
a secret.
And the Hollywood
star said he would stop paying them now that his HIV status was public, adding:
“I release myself from this prison today.”
