Charlie Apologizes For Using The "N" Word!
Filed under: Celebrity Feuds > Denise Richards > Charlie Sheen
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!

How in the hell is it Racial. Is Denise black??? Atleast he knows the definition of the word witch is an ignorant person (black, white, whatever)
TEAM DENISE!!
Denise is a fucking cunt! That's all she will ever be. She is just a lousy fucking CUNT with a pea brain. Charlie was stupid for not using the word CUNT instead of N!@@&R. Why would any body use N!@@&R when he clearly meant she was a fucking cunt! She made him crazy due to the fact that Denise is a fucking cunt. Also anyone on TEAM Denise is also either gay or a fucking cunt! Peace and love bitches!
Hey stop being cunty about Denise shes great. Hes the asshole look at what a fuckup hes been in his marriages.
what the fuck is wrong with u people… we all use that word.. when u get mad or when u r talking 2 a friend so dont come here writing bull shit like that… fuckers
TEAM DENISE!
I had no idea Denise was black. Still, she's a fame-whore, regardless of what end of the rainbow she's riding. Charlie shows horrendous judgment in general, so I don't care what he says about much of anything. At least he isn't saving messages for years to try to gain attention.
And to the person who commented that all white people use "the n word," grow up and get out more. You don't know what you're talking about. If I met you, I'm sure that an accurate slur would come to mind within minutes. Sorry. Can't blame it on race–You're just an idiot. (I'm of mixed heritage and whites are the ones who I DON'T hear racism from on a regular basis.)
TEAM DENISE ALL THE WAY!!
They are both attention hungry douchebags, but I'm going to have to go with Team Denise on this one.
Team Denise!
Team Charlie…ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Team Charlie
team Charlies…that chick is crazy…he's human and is probably sick of her crap…wouldn't you be if your ex was pimping out your children to try and resurrect her pathetic career…if you can even say she has a career.
I dont know whos side im on i said the same thing to my ex who betrayed me by screwing around behind my back minus the n word … just shows how angry he really was at her .. and she was a sneaky thing however i saw her movie blond and blonder and i must say it was dam funny… i know what its like to be betrayed and u do get THAT MAD with the people who seem not to give a crap ….however eventually u learn to let go of the hate….i still havent its only 2 yrs though but hey lollllllllllll im on perezzzz side lollllll thats spraying diverticulitis …. lollll
still team denise…us women need to stick together, especially when douchbag men are involved
why was my comment deleted? Anywho……….TEAM DENISE. Charlie is a manwhore. Denise hasn't said one bad word about him on her show which shows class. He is a cheating, lying, verbally abusive sack of SHIT.
It's not revenge when the truth about someone comes out. Denise has sat by as she's been demonized by the ex-husband and the tabloid press. It's about time she fought back. I've seen her show and her family and friends all look, sound, and act normal. She seems OK too, so I wonder who's been lying all these years.
Team Denise,
A real man doesn't talk about the wife of his children like that and I am not just meaning the tape I am including all of the press bashing. He is a scumbag.
God NEITHER!!
What I don't get is why they didn't stay together?! They are clearly perfect for each other…
They are both having a public slanging match, airing their dirty laundry to the world, and without any consideration for their kids….
But as long as one of them can get a little punch in here or there.
They are both selfish and immature, and I wouldn't support either of them.
I posted to this particular story yesterday… it was up, now it's gone. I noticed a name that was mine with a "different" post. Do the jerks who work for mario change responses from time to time?????
STILL TEAM CHARLIE!!!!!!!!
Still team Charlie. People can say all kinds of stupid shit when they're angry, and they're trying to hurt someone verbally. I believe it was just a stupid mistake, when he ran out of angry curse words. The fact that Denise Richards still has these voicemails 3 years later shows how bat-shit crazy she is.
And how come Ice T can go and say the n-word over and over in his rant (the Quote of the Day), and it's ok because of his race? This word should not be used by anyone, regardless of gender. No matter who uses it, the negative connotations are still there.
People who save 3 yr. old emails are waiting for the truth to come out about people like this. You've been so anti-denise never once stopping to think Charlie the hooker loving druggie could cause all these problems…
Perez… those emails have been out for a LONG time. Check your archives please. Check the court docs that were 'leaked' they will have all the voice mails there. Why are you unwilling to clear up this story and still say they were leaked yesterday? I love your site … but make it right
Im not surprised at all that he would stoop this low. Idiot.
First of all "first two weddings". He says this so casually it sounds stupid. It's time to stop this shit you two and grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are damaging your children in unimagineable ways. You are damaging yourselves with all this damn hate. You are going to raise haters. We don't need any more damn haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both of you are piss-poor parents no matter how you slice it.
Team Denise all the way!!
Never used to care about either one of them, but I love her thanks to her show now. She's too great!
Definitely Team Denise!!!!
i dont think he meant it as an offense to black people, i think he was angry as hell and throwing every name in the book he could think of at her. if she were black it might be taken as rascist, but she isnt, shes just a bitch that drives him nuts. I doubt he was even thinking straight at the time. that said, i dont agree with calling anyone ANY names. it doesnt really solve much and it seems to come back to haunt you eventually
Those emails have been on the Smoking Gun for YEARS. They are not 'just released'.
TEAM DENISE!!!! Thank God she is not holding back anymore, let it all out denise, that man has abused you and tarnished your name enough!!! Let it all out and let the whole world see "THE REAL CHARLIE". And all the abuse you have been through. Just be happy you have your 2 daughters and you are out of that abusive situation. I was married to someone in the UAE royal family and thankfully I got out as well. BACK in USA, land of the somewhat FREE !!!No one deserves ABUSE !!!
Team Charlie. He made a mistake by using that word 3 years ago. Get over Denise is a bitch.
well…he DOES kinda look like Hitler in that pic…
He wasnt insulting black people you idiots! He was just using a derogitory comment. No different than calling her a douche, ass, slut whore…..should all the whores be insulted if someone calls someone else a whore?
get off the political correctness' kool-aide drinking bandwagon.
PC=BS say what you mean. Its ok to hurt other peoples feelings.
I think they should get back together. They are both so stupid they must be made for each other
At least he didn't call her a nappy headed 'ho.
With Tony Todd as his best man, he's obviously not totally racist. The 'N' word has insinuated itself into the swearing genre, right along with cracker, and pops out along with the other toe-stubbing words, and both words pop out of the mouths of BOTH races. That was a decent apology.
The N-word is not a synonym for a black person. Most dictionaries defines the N-word as an ignorant person - which she is.
i hate denise richards, shes such a bitch!
i don't even understand how he could use that word…
they're both fuck-ups. i feel bad for their children.
absolutely CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE CHARLIE
denise richards is fucking crazy. she may be gorgeous, but she's fucking crazy!
Team Denise. Who the heck talks to the mother of their children that way? Most of the criticism towards Denise here stems from the "saving the messages for three years"…which was already blown out of the water, as these were made public long ago, so there's nothing left to deflect the criticism from where it belongs, Charlie, for being such an a*s and saying such a horrible thing to begin with. That's really going to make those two little girls feel good about their father when they are older.
TEAM DENISE!!!
Team Denise - I understand that people don't like her as a person, but I'm sick and tired of men being given the benefit of the doubt. Charlie has trashed this woman and used his leverage as a bigger star to destroy her professional career. I'm actually a big fan of Charlie's show, but I also think Denise has gotten the short end of the stick. I mean, does anyone really "by mistake" use the "N" word. I ask my fellow Perez followers - when was the last time you got angry with someone and went so low as to use racially charged insults? I never have and I don't think there's any excuse to do so.
People who think the n word means black person are the racist ones. im sure he was not referring to black people with his comment, but only her dumb ass.
TEAM CHARLIE ARE YOUR KIDDING, SHE'S A LOSER AND HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE MAD AT HER, LIKE NO ONE OUT THERE EVER GOT IN A FIGHT AND STARTED SWEARING…WHAT PERFECT WORLD DO YOU'S LIVE IN, SHE'S A LIAR AND SEEMS TO BE DRIVING HIM NUTS TWISTING THINGS AROUND.
How does using the " N " word toward his ex wife make him a racist? Look it up in the Dictionary. I think that is describes her perfectly.
i'm sure he meant the N word as calling her ignorant, it's only white ppl that made it racial-look it up in the dictionary it means ignorant and she is ignorant! TEAM CHARLIE
Denise is a bitch!….Charlie is obviously not a racist…you can see that by who he hangs out with…That bitch Denise is the racist - That's why she hung on to the recording. OMG…she is satan!
Re: TLogo –
Spoken like a true RACIST!
so what,as if no one ever uses this word.Denise is a bitchand I know I could call her even better than that a cunt!!!!
Finally! One for Team Denise!
Of course Charlie can't be a racist because all of his friends are negroes. He even employs negroes to wash his sheets.
Team Denise.
This is so old. Go to Smoking Gun…the court documents are on line and what you have on your site is nothing…don't be so quick to judge…the paperwork speaks for itself….Get with it, Oh Queen.
This is just ridiculous, Denise isn't even black so how is this racial. He was being offensive to her calling her names. I am not commending him but please I am so tired of everyone throwing the racial card around! Its like calling her a B*tch but if he did that no one would care! Get a life!
I bet Denise is posting on here right now saying, "Team Denise". He is wrong for using that word- period. However, she is wrong for "leaking" the voice mail just to get back at him. She NEVER thinks of those girls. And I still think she is an unbalanced person who steals her friend's husband. Charlie is wrong and Denise is wrong. At the end of the day though I think I am Team Charlie bc he seems less unhindged than she does.
TEAM DENISE!! I dont blame her for being fucking crazy! If any man put me through the bullshit he put her through…I would go nuts too! She has every reason to act the way she acts! And shes hilarious on her show…sorry. I would totally be her friend!
TEAM DENISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL THE WAY!!! COME ON PEREZ! Join the bandwagon!
Alright, so here it goes. So i'm sure everyone agrees that the real issue with Charlie's phone messege was that he used the "n" word. But we all got to look at the real problem here, how our whole society is so disensitized to it. It's just used so loosely in mainely the whole relm of rap and hiphop, that really it's just becoming just another word. I 100% understand in it's true contex the "n"word is very powerful and is a true representaion of the horror african americans had gone through, but we are just humans, and psychologicaly words do lose their power when used so frequently in such phrases as, "Yo my f*cking n****er, let's shoot some bitches."
CALM DOWN, SHE'S NOT EVEN BLACK!!!!!!!!
Team Denise!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I love charlie in two and a half men but he is fucking crazy
he called Denise that, and she's not black so how is that racist??? The n word means an ignorant person, it's not like he called an african american that, gosh.
Team charlie all the way. Denise is a hag who obviously put this out there to try to 'ruin' him and get people to like her.
Why the hell can black people use the "N" word but if white people say the "N" word, then all hell breaks loose? This is just PLAIN STUPID!!!!
definetly TEAM DENISE
if this woman can look past all the things charlie has done to her and say that they are his daughters and if i trash him i trash them, then she is a bigger person for that. that is called being a real parent. good for her. take the high road denise.
How about TEAM SAM and LOLA? This shit is ridiculous on both sides..how much more high school can they get??
interesting……..so many upset about the n word yet you throw around f/u and it's equally as offensive…..ok, it's not considered a rascial slur but still today's language and the acceptiveness (if that is a word) of it, is at fault for so much of the use of the n word today……..hear me out, in cases like this, it was not used towards a black person, so the use, foul as it is, is used for shock value nothing more. i know many of you will take offense to the thought, and swear at me, cut me into shreds but just think about it before you respond. if all of you out there were as equally offended about your own use of language perhaps more people would have more productive conversations or agurements by using less offense more discriptive words and not the basic 10 ugly hateful words used today…………just one person's thought
CHARLIE SHEEN WILL SELF DESTRUCT AGAIN SOON ENOUGH, HE CAN'T STOP OPENING HIS FOUL VINDICTIVE MOUTH. HIS DAUGHTERS ARE GOING TO HATE HIS ASS WHEN THEY GROW UP BECAUSE HE WILL BE AS EQUALLY CONTROLLING AND CRUEL WITH THEM. TOO BAD HE USED TO BE HOT BUT NOW LOOKS LIKE AN UGLY MOLE (NO OFFENSE TO MOLES).
oh and all of you so upset with charlie, keep in mind his bitter exwife kept that message for 3 years in order to hurt him…………shame on her for that!
still team charlie, he said this in private out of fustration and she saves it, in 3 years she'll play it again, she's a psychotic bitc*. Charlie moved on, got married leave him alone.
perez!! you suck! you're such a fucking asshole.
Re: TLogo – You're a fucking idiot!! I am so sick and tired of this reverse-racist bullshit. Blacks are still on the down in this country because they MAKE themselves that way by pulling the fucking race card every other minute to get their way! No wonder whites are still hesitant to treat you as equals, because you aren't willing to actually WORK for it, you just want to bitch and moan and have everyone guilt-tripped into giving you special treatment you don't even fucking deserve! All races, even whites, have been enslaved at one point in history or another. Everyone else got over it and moved on, why can't YOU? There is no point in bitching about the past, you have today to change the future for yourselves, but it's just easier to whine and complain, isn't it? Notice how I didn't use the N-word once, even though, as you stated, my race was being put in a corner!
Also, why is it that you think only white people can be racist? I have known plenty of Asians, Latinos, Arabs, etc. who hate on blacks just like anyone else can. Shit, i have even met blacks who hate other blacks! ANY human being, regardless of their racial or cultural origin, has the capacity to hate others for being different. NOT JUST WHITES. *YOU* are being a bigot for thinking that the whites are the only group who could be hating against you. It shows you are ignorant and arrogant, just like you've accused whites of being!
Look the difinition up in the dictionary. The word Nigga does not specify race. This is not a Black word . The word mean that the person being called that word is a low down person who is not fit for human contact. He was not refering to race when he stated that he was referring to charcater. She is a Nigga, because she is a liar and she does not teel the truth. All I see is this man defending himself. The way that she loves to curse does not lead me to believe that she did not send him a nasty voice mail. I am a Black person and a nigga is a nigga and Denise Richards is one. Read your dictionary people look the word up. Black people do not be offended he has nothing to say that he is sorry for, he was describing a White trashy woman who says that she loves to FUCK!!!!
Remember all nigga's are not Black.
WHY DON'T THEY LYNCH HIM IN THE MEDIA LIKE THE DID DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER AND KRAMER? WHERE IS AL SHARPTON AND JESSIE JACKSON?
THESE VOICEMAILS ARE OLD NEWS, THEY WERE RELEASED YEARS AGO. I HAVE A FEELING DENISE IS BEING VERY RESERVED WITH WHAT HAS BEEN PUBLICLY REVEALED ABOUT CHARLIE…LOOK AT HIS HISTORY, HE'S A CRACKHEAD WHO PAYS FOR HOOKERS, GUY HAS ISSUES!
If that is the "go to" word he chose to use when he was mad, then it just shows that the word was in his everyday vocabulary to begin with — you don't just bust that word out randomly, unless you use it often.
They are both nuts — and this hearing that he used that language makes me sick.
Wow! I think you need to go with Team Denise on this round. Charlie has got some serious problems.
Team Denise.
shes a tramp but at least shes not a racist asshole.
Team Charlie! Everyone says messed up stuff when their mad… Only total assholes keep blackmail material for 3 years…
TEAM CHARLIE….still.
Is anyone else getting sick of these coloreds? And what's with the their black BS most are not black they range from light tan (the color of dog droppings) to black and brown isn't black. They are stupid? My best friend is a white guy born in Africa who became an American citizen ( A True African American) so where do these coloreds get the idea African American = black??
Totally team Denise. Charlie Sheen is more of a phony than Denise– and that is a statement. I cannot stand him.
Ugh they are both idiots, but if I had to choose, I'd pick Charlie. People say stupid things when they are angry, though fortunately I've never been THAT effing stupid. But she's prolly the one that released that recording, she's the one that's been on the talk show circuit badmouthing him. Without the fight with Charlie and the kids to pimp out in her reality show, would she even have anything?! At least he has a tv show that seems to do well… I feel so bad for their kids, they lost bigtime at the parental lottery.
TEAM DENISE. Charlie is a dirty whore fucking piece of shit.
Team Denise!!! Charlie Sheen is a drug infested piece of shit who wants to destroy his ex wife! BOYCOTT TWO AND A HALF MEN.
Oh and people that are saying she's "just" starting to fight back obviously dont keep up. There were legal documents "leaked" ages ago about that recording, just not the actual recording itself. She also claimed at the time that in addition to the hookers, he loved gay and kiddie porn both. Yeah she's really been curled in a fetal position just taking the punches.
WOW - way to capitlize on your BEST friend! If I was that guy / Todd, I'd be so effing PISSED to be dragged into this as the token black. Team DENISE. Charlie is such an ASSH*LE.
TEAM DENISE! Charlie is an a-hole & behind every crazy woman is a man that made her that way! Screw Charlie, he sucks & those children are better off without him…who talks to the mother of your childern that way? What a loser….
I think everyone is just saying the first thing that comes to mind, "oh hes racist" No hes not! The way I read it and the way it came off to me he used to true definiton of the N word. The N word is an ignorant person. And nobody stops to realize that i mean hello shes white why would he call her that if it was suppose to be a racial comment? Im sure everyones said it in there day so. Im not excusing his behavior or densises behavior im just saying.
Charlie is a CUNT, just like Denise. They deserve each other!
team denise!!! i think she's hilarious!! and seriously, considering the ridiculous past charlie sheen has had, why is everyone on HIS side?? so she's got a reality show, who cares??!! it's funny, i've watched it. she swears like a sailor…and her kids are barely in it, like maybe once an episode for like a minute sitting on her lap or something.
It's only racist if he said it to a black person, Perez. What he said to Denise is offensive and rude, but not racist.

Quit giving these two wastes of space the attention they crave by putting this crap up here. Who cares what these two say to each other? They are prime examples of what greed and money do to people. Shut these two bags of hair up and don't post anything else about them.
Really that wasn't so nice to say but then again think of how much of a CUNT whore Denise is because we really don't know what she is writing in those emails and for all we know she could of told him that also. She is soo deceiving and a psycho ass
what a coincidence, perez..didn't your beloved paris hilton say the "n" word too??
On another note, Denise Richards is an attention seeking narcissist who will dig to the bottom of a bag of shit to find a piece to throw at Charlie Sheen. Who hasn't said something they have regretted? I have said stupid things out of anger that don't necessarily reflect my beliefs. This incident was THREE years ago. Please it's so obvious. This woman has no regard for her kids whatsoever to whore them out the way she does. Perez don' even give this one a second thought.
He's over 18, he can call someone whatever the hell he wants. It's HIS personal life. Get over it.
TEAM DENISE!!!TEAM DENISE!!!TEAM DENISE!!!TEAM DENISE!!! Charlie is a LOSER!
TEAM CHARLIE.
Charlie Sheen, have you noticed that whenever there is a flare up between you and De… the bitch there are hundreds of comments. People must like love this shit. If you really want to stop getting angry, stop this craziness, it has to come from you. Don't say a word. Let Denise unravel and go crazy by herself she is doing a great job. I bet Sambora must be so happy he did not stick around her. As for using the N word, just get over it everybody, we all say the word all the time.
Obviously she still hasn't moved on. I think Charlie, getting married did not go over well with her. TEAM CHARLIE, TEAM CHARLIE!!!!!
If you ever see Denise Richards, just say the name "Charlie Sheen" and watch what happens.
As a black woman I was not offended because unlike most people he used the word in its proper text. He's one of the few people that remember that the n word is not about a color but to describe an ignorant person. The release of this message makes Denise look even more of a lieing, manipulative, decietful, publicity whore than the press made her out to be.
GET OVER IT PEOPLE! I get so damn tired of everyone screaming bc someone said something that is not "PC".
A judge should institute a gag order on the both of them, for the kid's sake.
Never liked her but I must agree Team Denise b/c: 1) he insulted her dead Mom!, 2) he used to do drugs and hookers! 3) she held on to the message- creepy yes, but could have released it long ago but didn't, 4) He never wanted kids and wanted an abortion- how again is he a great Dad??
