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!

    TEAM CHARLIE.

    denise is annoying. at least sheen contributes something with his work - two and a half men is a hilarious show. denise is just irritating. yeah, someone just HAPPENED to email her that she was on this website in that one episode. give me a fucking break! you know she trolls the sites to find herself! she probably continues with this shit just so that she can get on the site again.

    i say you never write about her again.

    If I had to listen to/deal with that crazy bitch day in day out, I might say things I regret (in the heat of the moment) too. Sorry but she needs to be committed.

    106

    how about TEAM KIDS - they are gonna f*ck them BOTH up - neither Charlie nor Denise can shut up, at least not publicly, and it's the kids who will suffer … SO SAD!

  7. Mayra says – reply to this


    107

    I've always thought Charlie was a disgusting creep. Denise HAS been quiet for years, never doing interviews or selling her story to tabloids while he ran his big fat mouth to anybody that would listen. Whatever she said in court was up to the judge to release or supress but I'm glad she's talking back now…she tried to take the high road but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire…TEAM DENISE!

  8. DDB says – reply to this


    108

    I don't really think that ANYBODY should be using the "N" word. But until black folks, rappers and anybody of "color" stops using this word I could care less who else uses it. Double standards are not acceptable, and once you've heard the "N" word on nearly 90% of hip hop songs, videos and at every work place it becomes a non-issue. I don't even turn my head anymore when I hear the word. That's how sad our culture has become.

    Re: yup – wow, what a dumbass

  10. court says – reply to this


    110

    ps…. denise is so misunderstood and gets no break from the press.. she is a good hearted woman and a wonderful mother… shes just had to deal with this asshole loser for 3 years now.. that would make any woman bitchy!!

    love ya denise!

  11. sheen says – reply to this


    111

    team sheen.. i know when im angry i use every curse word in the book.. maybe not the N one but i know i can get really angry. i feel like deniese is trying to make herself look better but you know damn well shes probably left messages like this b4.. you cna tell look @ her show she curses every second.
    w/e i still like sheen betttttttttter :)

    ~~~~TOTALLY AGREE WITH CRAZY, I'M SURE HE SAID THAT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT, AND YES WHO KNOWS WHAT I'D SAY FACED WITH THAT ANNOYING BITCH, SOMETIMES U SAY THINGS U REALLY DON'T MEAN~~~~

    113

    how come Ice T doesn't have to issue an apology? Don't be such a hypocrite! And by the way - go Charlie!

  14. deenu says – reply to this


    114

    Anyone who's been through divorce knows the kind of stupid crap that can come up when angry, and I can't imagine when kids are involved.

    Difference is, most of us can do it with more respect and / or privately.

  15. Com o says – reply to this


    115

    It's doubtful that SHE actually saved them. It's more likely than not that her attorneys collected that stuff–it's common in divorce cases. Also, there may have been a no contact order that they needed those for to make sure he stayed away from her.

    Honestly, she might be a crazy bitch, but he's got another woman and Denise is left alone caring for the two kids. Team Denise…

  16. Hanna says – reply to this


    116

    *sigh*

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but Team Charlie. He made a very unfortunate, very ugly mistake, but I will always pick him over that rent-by-the-minute whore, Denise Richards. Always.

    Now I feel dirty.

  17. a says – reply to this


    117

    obviously charlie is the bigger asshole and douchebag. he's an alpha male who thinks he can do whatever he wants including degrading women and using racial slurs. he's a psycho.

  18. Rene says – reply to this


    118

    This woman is a piece of shit. Now I believe all the nasty things he said that Denise said and did. I mean really, who keeps a taped three year old phone conversation unless of course, she planned on using it to blackmail him or something. Denise Richards is a peg.

  19. EL says – reply to this


    119

    CONSTIPATION!!!

  20. Jess says – reply to this


    120

    Still Team Charlie. Denise is a douche. He should never have used that word, but he did, he apologized, move on.

  21. bitch says – reply to this


    121

    perez, eres un puto! and charlie sheen is an even bigger puto. stop being such an ass to hollywood's young women.

    Team Charlie

  26. Fran says – reply to this


    126

    Listen to me! I am now 60 and my family Never used that word! Never! I always had good friends of color. My family were friends of Harvey Hester who owned Aunt Fanny's in Ga. We met many celebs! Best friends with Eton And Susan Hayward, Tyrome Power, Alan Land, Jack Dempsey There was never any of this type of trash!

    I do not care for Charlie nor his X!

  27. lola says – reply to this


    127

    get over it. he probably said it over rage. if he called her a "fag" on the message it would not be getting this much attention. the whole thing is stupid.

    129

    when i was growing up my parents told me that the N word is not about race its used to describe an ignorant person n i think that denise is an N word cause she is ignorant have u seen her show she is shallow and useless he was wrong for saying that but she's wrong for putting it out there i feel bad for their kids they have to grow up knowing that their parents hate each other thats not healthy and its her fault cause she puts stuff like this out there I'M STILL TEAM CHARLIE

  30. Nicol says – reply to this


    130

    Despite his unfortunate choice of words he's still far more sane and believable than Denise. Team Charlie!

  31. LCFRE says – reply to this


    131

    Team Denise! Charlie is a loser. He played the "my friend is black" card. That's like saying "some of my closest friends are (fill in the blank) to make you look accepting. Ugh. I wish they would both just quit talking crap in the media about eachother. Denise tried not to but Charlie wouldn't let it go. Sounds like a bitter boy to me.

  32. Greta says – reply to this


    132

    Team Denise! While she may be a bit manipulative and kooky, I don't think Sheen has made it easy. Plus, I haven't read anything about her with prostitutes, drugs, or racist, angry, threatening verbal abuse.

  33. TEAM says – reply to this


    133

    Charlie will NEVER change… he's a hotheaded ,over hormoned a$$hole.

    136

    team denise. she's just like any other person who has to deal with an asshole of an ex. she hasn't done anything wrong. and she's just taking a stand for herself because she gets shit from all the media and if it was any of us we'd want to speak up for ourselves too. i feel sorry for her.

  37. Music says – reply to this


    137

    Team Charlie- it's a no brainer. denise is a bitch of epic proportions.

  38. yuck says – reply to this


    138

    Good for her maybe she was in fear for her life maybe he was abusive so shut up perv because you do not know what goes on in people houses and lives you live in your little immature gossip world . Denise needs to defend herself. Why do you hate her so much? She wouldn't acknowledge you for your phoney site of made up lies and old gossip. This is getting so old .

  39. Cartm says – reply to this

    Still team Charlie; it just means she really REALLY pisses him off.

    Get people on here who know how to spell. It's spelled, "surface" NOT saurface. LOL

  42. peanu says – reply to this


    142

    Team Charlie for sure. Not sure why he chose the N word though? Is she African-American at all? He probably just chose that word because he wanted to call her something horrible. I don't think that makes him a racist. He is obviously so angry in that message. I truly cannot stand Denise.

  43. Alexi says – reply to this


    143

    LOL! I know this shouldn't be funny…but I guess calling her a nigg*% was a perfect way to top off his verbal rampage. That doesn't even make sense. They're both ridiculous.

  44. becca says – reply to this


    144

    TEAM DENISE!!!

    I HOPE CHARLIE BURNS IN HELL!!!

  45. Alexa says – reply to this


    145

    Please, I don't care what she did no one has a right to speak to anyone like that…Perez pick Team Denise. Doesn't the fact that Sheen has had these things happen in multiple marriages say something about the guy….pick Team Denise.

  46. Bonst says – reply to this


    146

    She is a whore. Good for Charlie. The N word can go for white, black, green or purple…get over it people. Its a derogatory comment about anyone who is a lower than shit.

  47. nicol says – reply to this


    147

    We all knew Charlie Sheen was a low life drug addict,a super creep who paid for sex but now he's proven himself to be a racist pig!

  48. auror says – reply to this


    148

    No matter how angry you get (and I've been through a divorce so I understand the intense anger), the N-word is NEVER acceptable, and it doesn't just slip out unless it's already part of your internal vocabulary.

    Just like the guy on Gray's Anatomy letting loose with the F***** word or Mel G's drunken tirade, Charlie Sheen's use of the N-word is unacceptable, and to me, unforgivable. It is a hate word and I don't care WHO uses it, it is racist.

    I don't like Denise either. I'm Team Sheen Kids - I want them to be adopted by someone who's not totally insane. That is the only way they have a chance at being normal.

  51. bunny says – reply to this


    151

    Team Charlie - He is not an angel (none of us are) but we have all used words in the heat of anger that we regret. Especially when you don't expect them to be saved and replayed 3 years later. Alec Baldwin had a similar problem but we know his rant wasn't directed at his daughter as much as his ex. Denise is a crazy bitch!

  52. Josh says – reply to this


    152

    Oh PLEASE! There isnt a white person on the planet who hasnt used the "N" word, including YOU Perez I am sure. If only the world knew how white people talked about blacks behind closed doors.

  53. kyle says – reply to this


    153

    umm the two of them should be on nbc's celeb circus. they be crazy. and i'm not surprised if at one point bones were broken.

  54. mj238 says – reply to this


    154

    Team Charlie!! Get over it people! Yes, he said a bad word (in private) when he was upset. But you know what? I hate that black people 'claim' they can use that word, but others can't! Black people say the N word all the time. So if you don't want people using ignorant language, then you shouldn't use it yourself!

  55. jess2 says – reply to this


    155

    so diarhieea is team charlie correct??? team charlie!! come on handsome perez, you know a skanky douche bag when you see one :)



  56. 156

    TEAM CHARLIE PPL SAY THINGS THEY DONT MEAN WHEN THEY HAVE A CRAZY ASS BITCH LIKE HER UP THEIR ASS DENISE IS A DUMB FUCKEN BITCH THAT TALKS TOOOO MUCH LET THE MAN BE A GOOD FATHER TO THEIR KIDS AND BE HAPPY IN HIS NEW MARRIAGE!!!!

  57. prncs says – reply to this


    157

    I agree, leave us black folks out of this one. If Denise was black then this would be wrong but she's not so I don't see what all the fuss is about. He should've called her a c–nt N–ga, well deserved! She is a B-tch,A-s, N–ga. Well said Charlie!

  58. Kathl says – reply to this

    I would not be surprised if he go nuts and tries to kill her. I hope not, but this guy is a tool.

    159

    Sheen sorry!? Are you kidding me? Ya, sorry HE GOT CAUGHT. Like I have said before, Sheen is nothing but a druggie, whore obessed, cheating loser of a husband that lets his sexual selfish desires come before any woman being his wife and children, …whom just happends to be an actor. He is a self gratifying loser that is ruled by his dick. If thats not sad I dont know what is more sad and disapointing. The fact so many people trash poor denise by jumping on this bandwagon, after her having his kids and going through all this hell is really pathetic of yall. People are such suckers for stars.
    Obviously Team Denise.

  60. Jac says – reply to this


    160

    Ummm….she must have done something pretty shitty for him to rant and rave like that. We all say things we regret later on. Black people use that word all the time…its a terrible word but for some reason everyone makes a huge deal out of it when a white person says it. Team Charlie.

  61. tchio says – reply to this


    161

    TEAM CHARLIE ON THIS ONE! Denise is trying to use anything against him. I can understand how pissed Charlie is, I've been fucked over by bitches to, Which guy hasen't!? She's just playing the OOOOOHHHHHH everyone feel sorry for me and look at the big bad Charlie, HATE HIM EVERYONE HATE HIM!!!! SO I CAN FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF!! Denise high priced piece of ass BITCH!!

  62. andre says – reply to this


    162

    IMO the N word is not synonomous with being black, more like being a lazy, useless waste of space. Team Charlie!

  63. megan says – reply to this


    163

    I think that it is so ridiculous to brand him a "racist" for using that word. For what we know it may have been this one time. It is a clearly racist and degrading word, and I don't condone using it but..

    Some black people use the "N" word all the time to each other. How do we exspect that people, like Charlie Sheen, are going to be smart enough not to use the word? It is everywhere, and white people shouldn't be the only people that are labeled "racist" for using it.

  64. L says – reply to this


    164

    who cares? he apologized.

  65. asdkt says – reply to this


    165

    why in the hell is it okay for ice t to call two different people the "n-word" in a quote, most likely made IN PUBLIC, and no one says shit about it, but when a white man (charlie sheen) says it in a PRIVATE (PRIVATE!!!) phone message to his ex/wife, it's a huge deal? CROCK. OF. SHIT.

    And Perez, what if he had called her a fag or something? You'd be screaming "TEAM DENISE" and you know it!

    Quick question - is Denise black?
    Isn't this word thrown around in the rap community in reference to one another? So, he's calling Denise, a white woman, the n-word, and now it's some horrible thing?
    Wake up, people! This selective thing is bullshit. Abolish the word completely/don't do it at all.

    She saved the messages because anyone who is capable of such vitriol is capable of who-knows-what else. And who would believe her if she didn't save them??? He was a bad boy, but all she was was a woman who loved a bad boy. Now tell me, who's worse?

    Just because someone uses the "n" word does not necessarily mean they are racist. Some people throw it around almost like a cliche without fulling realizing how grossly inappropriate and wrong it is. Just like people throw around white trash and whity, etc.

    People that assume that the N word only pertains to black people are morons. It is an actual word in the dictionary that pertains to morons like yourselves! Yes, understandable it is a terrible word when used in a racially motivated context, but in this situation, he was using it for the dictionary definition. She is an uneducated loser and a psychotic bitch. In other news, I really am feeling team Charlie on this one. Perez, if you had any standards you would too.

    "have saurfaced???" Can you show just a little bit of respect for your readers, Mario? How awful a typist do you have to be to not have an auto-spell-checker in action? With all the money this site generates, can't you hire an editor? Or at least be more professional than THIS?!! It happens on a daily basis and it's shameful. I know English is probably your SECOND language but do you have to keep sounding so illiterate with your grammer and spelling? I'm pretty certain now that you're just LAZY and STUPID — so I guess it shouldn't bother you because you're proving it to the public every day.
