Charlie Apologizes For Using The "N" Word!

Filed under: Celebrity Feuds > Denise Richards > Charlie Sheen

wenn1895597.jpg

As we told you guys first via phone on our Gossip On The Go

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards are in a yet another vitriolic public exchange of words.

And this time it gets racial!

As previously mentioned, voice mail messages that Charlie left for Denise over three years ago surfaced earlier today, Wednesday.

Hmm, who saves 3 year old voicemails??

Looks like someone had intentions to use them for revenge or blackmail!

Charlie's messages included several curse-filled rants and even a clip of him calling Denise a "fucking nigg–."

Yea. Digusting!

CLICK HERE to read the transcripts of Sheen's voice mail messages to Richards.

Hours after the recordings were released (and then vanished online), Charlie issued an apology.

He says, "I deeply apologize by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings."

He goes on to say, "Three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis" especially because "my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation."

Ughhh….

This is such a tough one.

Team Charlie or Team Denise????

It's like picking between diarrhea or constipation - neither are pretty!

    No excuse! If he didn't harbor at least a tiny part of him that saw himself as superior to black people, then he would NEVER have said it!!!!

    As a black American, I can tell you in all honesty that all white people will use this word when pushed into a corner. It's just how they are. No matter how much they pretend they're not.

    I'm taking Team Denise. She not perfect. Using the N-word is unacceptable. Fuck Charlie.

  16. Serio says – reply to this


    16

    Can't celeb's just not use these words? I know plenty of racists who go through life just fine without ever saying the N-word. Especially on a recording. So freaking stupid.

    o please everyone is racist in some way, you're a liar if you say you're not!

    20

    dENISE AND chARLIE ARE BOTH DIPSHITS. YET I TEND TO BELIEVE CHARLIE MORE. THEY ARE BOTH WHORES, AND DON'T DESERVE THE CUTE KIDS THEY HAVE. OBVIOUSLY DENISE RICHARDS ISN'T OVER THE DRAMA. I MEAN COME ON, SAVING VOICE MAILS FROM 3 1/2 YEARS? I CAN HEAR THE PSYCHO THEME SONG PLAYING WHEN I SEE HER! SHE JUST IS TRYING TO DO ANYTHING TO GET RATING FOR HER LAME SHOW!!!

  21. ashle says – reply to this


    21

    wow, i can't believe a racial slur made it that difficult to pick between the two when you fucking hated denise richards before. as if you have never said anything racist before, perez. you're just trying to appeal to your african-american fan base.



  22. 22

    Sorry but I'm still with Team Charlie on this one. Denise is one big b*t*h.

  23. me says – reply to this


    23

    Oh, come on. He said something stupid. Who hasn't? Dealing with my ex-husband, I've said a few things I regret, at least they're not saved for all the world to hear.

    Team Charlie all the way!

    either she's a much better actress than we all assumed, or she's actually quite funny & likeable as depicted on her show.

    26

    Re: TLogo – yes you are very right about that one, but i also have to tell you that black people comment just as much about whites as we do about them…. that's why i believe we should all be seperated like we use too.. only thing i dont agree with is one race gets a bette education or cant sit in certain areas, just equall treatment just stay with our OWN kind of people… problem solved

  36. diane says – reply to this


    36

    At least one of them needs to take the high road and just not respond/just STFU. The other will then be forced to stop yapping or make a bigger fool or HERSELF. LOL

    Really, why do they get so much press? We don't fricking care what goes on between them, really. Denise is a raging bitch, Charlie has his own issues, and we DO NOT CARE one way or the other.

  37. whatu says – reply to this

    Not a racist at all but still team Charlie. Denise is a fucking bitch! I'd hate the shit out of her to if I were Charlie.

  44. anon says – reply to this


    44

    It takes two to tango. They are both responsible.

  45. whate says – reply to this


    45

    Well, when you think of what that word was supposed to mean before it gained it's racial intones, it makes sense for him to call her that. She seem to have been behaving ignorantly and as a "low class person." as fa as I am aware, she is not african american, or even partiall african american; he would know this better than s. So, I don't think anything racial wasmeant by it. It seems like he was mad, and it was any ugly word that popped into his head to throw at her…if she was black, I would call it racial…but in this case, you could almost argue that it makes him NOT racist, if the ugliest thing he could think to say to her is a racial epithet that doesn't even apply to her race..

    Denise is a reject! Charlie - he was angry said a lot of words in a private phonecall to a reject of an exwife. He said things in the heat of the moment!

    Re: RanDa – you know what… black people always say crap about white people, in their songs, comedy shows, tv shows, EVERYWHERE!!! SO, i say who cares!! Like you've never said anything about whites???? Sure.. get real, people have been fighting over differences since the beginning of time, could be religion, race, money its just always ganna happen.. cant we all just get along?? Ummm NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. Serio says – reply to this


    51

    Since I'm pretty sure Denise isn't black, is this still a racial slur? Or just evidence that he's a complete and utter moron?

    YOU TELL HIM GIRL! I hope she saved his computer TOO!!LOL

    IS HE on GAY.COM TOO? OY VEY! lol

    54

    still team charlie. its tough…but denise whores out her kids. gross

  55. Rhond says – reply to this


    55

    Didn't Charlie say the first two marriages didn't matter to him or were just for show. The black best man was just for show? Never took sides in the Sheen/Richards fiasco. Proudly joining team Richards!

  56. enise says – reply to this


    56

    i used to be team charlie but i was always disturbed that he made fun of denise's mother for being bald when she was dying of cancer
    i still hate her more but im pretty convinced theyre both losers who were probably together for reason. lots of people use the n word its bad and im not condoning it but african americans usually say it more in media and everday life than white people do
    so theres a much bigger problem with this than a charlie sheen phonecall from 3 years ago

    denise!!!!!!! you gotta admit, some women just have bad taste in men. don't blame it on her! hes been married once already. somethings gotta give. if she held those voicemails for 3 years it just means she didnt want them out there unless it absolutly was needed. shes being attacked at every corner. if she was so fucking crazy… why did she leave him while pregnant? he must have done something bad. pregnant women just dont leave their husbands. ps does anyone remember when he tried to fix things with her. hes a jerk. hes just one of those guys that a bad boy you want to become a good person, but hs just never going to be americas golden boy. sorry.

  63. PNKMM says – reply to this


    63

    TEAM DENISE ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!! She is a strong woman to have survived all she went through with Charlie, her mom dying, and the media. You have to give her credit for that. She has not been perfect but who is? At least she is taking care of her kids and isn't partying it up or anything.

  64. Amy says – reply to this


    64

    Denise wins. The fact that he said it private is even more indicative of how vile he is. Doesn't have the guts to be an ass publicly, can only do it weakly on an answering machine.

    Denise, I used to think you were a shrew… not anymore. I think Charlie helped make you crazy.

    Wow. YOU are an idiot for assuming all white people have some sort of racist aspect to them. Now let's talk about who's racist. Jackass.

    WHERE ARE CHILDRENS AID WHEN YOU NEED THEM? NEITHER ONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE FIT PARENTS! THE AUTHORITIES NEED TO STEP IN NOW AND TAKE THESE KIDS BEFORE THEIR 'PARENTS' DAMAGE THEM. OBVIOUSLY NEITHER ONE OF THEM GIVES A CRAP ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THEMSELVES.

  67. Anony says – reply to this


    67

    Charlie's just being honest, and he's right. She is a n*****. Team Charlie ALL the way!!
    Denise is a two bit whore, who refuses to give up her 15 minutes. She needs to disappear, that husband stealing tramp.

    TEAM CHARLIE!!!

    seriously, i will admit right now i've used that word before and if any of you pretend like you haven't are liars….he said something in what he thought was a private matter and that media whoring cunt saved it for 4 years just to blackmail him!

    Charlie's a good guy with some bad habits, he's a great american actor and has a great tv show, he doesn't care about the fame and the media and the magazines, he doesn't need it, it needs him. Wish i could say the same for his ex wife, she's a gold digger who only cares about status and tabloids and will do anything and step on anyone to make herself look gold, which is exactly what she's doing.

  74. Rosie says – reply to this


    74

    Definitely team Charlie. We all say stupid, inappropriate stuff when we're angry and it sounds like he had a very good reason to be mad with the crazy bitch.

    He shouldn't have said it, but it was a long time ago, and it was said in the heat of the moment. He just has to make sure he never says something to awful again.

    um, how fucking dumb can you all be. the "n" word means ignorant and there shouldn't be any sort of offense taken because 1. HE DIDNT MEAN IT RACIALLY and 2. SHES WHITE!!!!

    denise richards needs to get off her fucking high horse, seriously who the fuck saves 3 yr. old voicemails?

    I don't like what he said. Yet, I still believe him more than I do her. I can't imagine being that frustrated - I'm sure I'd lose it and go off on her too - but not using the word he used. How stinking sad for the children. Someone needs to step it up and be a righteous example. Time to retract the claws and grow up and be good parents.

  85. Betty says – reply to this


    85

    So it's okay when Paris Hilton uses the N word, but not Charlie Sheen — Perez is such a hypocrite. Stay tuned to see what other racist stuff Paris will come up with and Perez will ignore… typical.



  86. 86

    It is obvious both Charlie and Denise are both extremly immature and selfish people. How can either of them talk the way they do about each other knowing that their children will one day hear all of it. Seriously both of them need to shut their traps and move forward with their "lives".

  87. lr says – reply to this


    87

    Definitely Team Charlie!! So what - black people say shit about whites all the fucking time and we're just supposed to brush it off. Slavery ended nearly 150 years ago. I don't owe any living black person anything because of slavery or for any other reason for that matter. If you want respect act respectful - black - white or whatever race you happen to be. And Denise is just a greedy cunt. And just because he called her that doesn't mean he was calling her a black person. Fuck her!

LIKE ANY OF YOU HAVE NOT SAID SOMETHING IN ANGER THAT COULD HURT ANY BODY ELSE? GIVE ME A BREAK! IT DOES NOT MAKE HIM A HATER.

  92. anon says – reply to this


    92

    Okay, while it is inexcusable to use a word like that, it's understandable that inapproprate words would fly in a situation like this.

  95. eva says – reply to this


    95

    They are both idiots, but Charlie said the n word. So what? Are you going to give Ice T crap because he uses it in his quote that you just posted? Is it okay that he said it because he is black? That's pretty inconsistent.

  96. Phili says – reply to this

    TEAM DENISE!

    (charlie rents hookers and is racist!!)

  100. AmBeR says – reply to this


    100

    TEAM CHUCK…
    I don't appreciate his use of the "n" bomb but when people are angry and things get heated, really stupid shite may be verbalized… Not saying it is right but let's not get all holier than thou, I mean I know I have said my share of things I wish I could take back, but I can't… I'm sure he is truly sorry for his choice of words in that vmail but I just hope that he is sorry that he SAID this and not just because it was made public.
