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!

Team Denise! Her show is adorable, and it really does show how cute and funny she is. I like her dad, and her sisters, too. I enjoy the animals on her show, and love how well she takes care of them all. I like her - she's hot!! We all forget Charlie's past - he's never been a saint, so why is his use of such an offensive word so surprising? It's who he is…and a zebra doesn't change its stripes!!!!!!
Team Charlie. People make mistakes, especially when they're going through what he was at the time. Denise is a bitch for saving them and then throwing them back in his face. She is an idiot.
Using that word doesn't mean he's racist. Read the definition in the fucking dictionary.
charlie needs to start working his 12 steps….
TEAM DENISE!!!!!!!!
While I agree that the N word is awful and should never be used. I have had it explained to me (by my very black friends) that it is a term used to describe a certain type of person. I have to wonder in what context Charlie was using it. I mean, she is obviously not black, so could he have really meant it that way? And if he did, how entirely stupid of him would that be.
I don't think he needs to really apologize. It was a private message, he didn't say it to a black person, and yes it is a terrible word, but isn't that why he said it to hurt his Cunt ex wife. People say a lot of things in private they wouldn't in public doesn't mean that they hate any race, ethnicity, religion, etc.
i hate you fat ass!
TEAM DENISE….. He is such a looooooosssssseeeeerrrrr
omg get over it at one point or another someone has pissed everyone off to the point that u say the most fucked up things to get back @ them anyone who says otherwise is a bullshitter the man said he was sorry didnt he, and that crazy bitch is even more retarded for holding on to a 3 year! voicemail ………. team charlie
Please quit being so condescending. If it was Will Smith calling Jada that it would be ok cause he's black. He used the word correctly she is a low life piece person, isn't that what that word is supposed to mean? She just wants more attention, and more money so she is pulling out whatever she can find, please that was 3 years ago and has anyone complained about him using that word anymore. So what! that word is used all over the place quit your damn crying. if you don't like that word quit using it in videos, music and movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all you stupid mother fu*king Ni%%ers out there
I am so tired of people making such a big f-ing deal over that damn word, if educated people looked up in the dictionary, It mean ignorant, he obviously wasn't talking about a black person!!!! So give me a damn break and get the stick out of your ass
Team Charlie. Who saves voicemails for three years unless it is to blackmail? She is insane and has nothing else going on in her life but this miserable fight.
if anything, this turns me off to denise even more. she obviously leaked them on purpose. celebs are held accountable to pretty much the entire world based on every single word that comes out of there mouth. charlie was letting off steam to his ex wife…so what?? the N-word means ignorant, anyway, so he shouldn't have to apologize to his best man, really. that guy knows charlie has his back!
TEAM CHARLIE!
UNBELIEVABLE that a mother would release tapes (and we all know Denise did) showing the father of her children in the worst light possible. Doesn't she realize her kids will read this some day and be so hurt and traumatized?! Actually, she probably happy about that because then they'll hate their own father. Denise is a silly, selfish, immature twit who married a bad boy and then wonders why he turned out to be so bad. She's a slut with no talent who sells her body to make money and attain fame, that's all she has to give. GROW UP DENISE! This isn't about you, it's about your innocent children who didn't deserve to be born to such a selfish, delusional, ecocentric mother.
P.S. Your reality show doesn't "set the record straight" about anything other than that YOU have no talent, personality, nor character. Oh, and your laugh and mid-west accent is painful to listen to!
TEAM DENISE!!! CHARLIE'S A TYPICAL FILTHY MEXICAN LOSER. HOW DID SHE EVER STAND HIM??
TEAM CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!
as not right in the head denise is i have to say denise charlie is what you say behind closed doors or in your home that really reveals your character and yours ain't to hot far less for good
The only compatibility for this dirty dog is one of his own nasty mexicunt cows. White girls better run from this dick as if he's the devil.
and he jus married a minority so i guess he'll call a fucking gringo when he divorces her
I'm black and white since everyone acts so 1950's with the race crap on here for some reason.I am african american,native american,german,and french since it is such a big deal on here.Perez has to be racist he always posts stuff to get everyone worked up about race.But, I would have to say team Denise.Charley did her wrong,put her at risk for std's,Denise is raising the children.What did she do that was so bad?Nothing much compared to him.He should not speak so unhighly of the woman that is raising his children,he's the deadbeat in my eyes.So what if she saved the voice mails of his crazy messages I'm sure her lawyer advised her to do so!
I agree with #12 when people especially other races are backed into a corner they always go for the n word. Which in all honesty doesnt bother me. If you look it up in the dictionary it mean ignorant. So whenever someone uses the term I fell as if they are referring to themselves. If someone were to call me the n word I would just tell them that they took the word right out of my mouth. Thats exactly what I was gonna call them. It always leaves the person with a sour pussed look on their face. If you know who you are dont trip. But at the same time how would he feel if she left him a message calling in a poor white trailer trash peckawood honky tonk cracker. Im sure he wouldnt appreciate it much. And why is it when someone from anothe race is caught using the n word the always have to list how many black friends they have. If you know how many black friends you have then it tends to make you look a little racist. I have friends of all colors but I never count how many of each race. He's the true dictionary term of the n word.
yeaaaaah… they are both pretty big douches'.
team charlie or bust!
TEAM DENISE!
just two posts down there's ice-t saying the n word and no one's even batting an eyelash. so i guess if you're black you're allowed to be racist?
Denise…Charlie is a lowlife.
It just goes to show, no matter how "down" white people try to pretend they are, they still resort to racial name-calling when they get angry. Then he tries to backtrack and say he's sorry because he had a Black man in his wedding. Yeah, that really makes it acceptable. I'm not on either team. They're both rich and white; I don't feel sorry for either.
TEAM CHARLIE!!!
I personally know Tony Todd (he's my neighbor) and I know that tony & charlie have been best friends since high school. I think Charlie said what he did to hurt Denise. Not to be derogatory towards a race. F**K CRAZY ASS DENISE!
YAY CHARLIE!!!
fuck them both, but he isnt a racist for saying it. especially if he called her it. im pretty sure shes a white woman.
Team Charlie all the way!!!! She's a major cock juggling thunder cunt!! Looking for sympathy from anyone and using anything to further her campaign against Charlie!!!! Fuck that high priced whore!!
Team Denise, definately. Charlie is disgusting.
Re: never –
Whatever? Just because black people say it gives other races the right to say it too? Why be just as ignorant as the black people who say it? And not all black people use the word either. Regardless if black people say it or white people say it, it's still wrong!!!!! No race should ever use the word!
Urrrggghh… he sounds like George Costanza: 'Okay, I know I said something racist, but I swear, some of my best friends are black! Even my best man! And the guy who parks my car! Oh, and this black guy I met once at a party! I love black folk. Oh, and also, my ex is still a bitch!"
What a sleazy, racist, all-round nasty guy. Why were you ever on his team, Perez? Remember his child porn scandal? Yuck yuck awful genuinely icko man.
Do we really care?????? The whole Charlie and Denise thing shouldnt even be making news. They both need to grow up and consider the children. WTF!
I know damn well, he didn't use the N-word, considering his ass is CUBAN…Yes…CUBAN. So kiss mine…CARLOS ESTEVEZ. I'm pretty sure he would appreciate it if his ex-wife was talking shit about Cubans.
Oh and since I'm in the spirit…….TEAM CHARLIE!!!!!!!!
DENISE RICHARDS IS NOT BLACK IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM PEOPLE!!!
Team Denise!
The word is disgusting. Charlie is disgusting. And Denise will pay for the huge mistake of getting involved with him for the rest of her life. I feel sorriest for their girls. And, please people, get real… even Charlie's own family does their level best to distance themselves from his BS.
Re: Mary – You really dont know how dumb you sound, do you? You must be from Mississippi.
I love how when a celebrity slips up and says something racial, they immediately claim that it slipped out and that's not the type of person they are. Yeah, right. In the total of your 30-40 years of life you've never said the N-word? Please. That shit slipped out like butter. You've been practicing for YEARS! I hope his best man kicks his ass.
Oh yeah and I love how some people are commenting about how black people say stuff about white people…
yeah Charlie and Denise are both white…so wtf? just another excuse people [not whites, but PEOPLE] use to make themselves feel better about being racist/prejudiced.
TEAM CHARLIE
FUCK DENISEEEEEEEEE
dude denise needs to grow the f+++ up charlies moved on and is happy she must be pissed she needs way to much attention TEAM CHARLIE and i love two and a half me eat a dick denise and move on. and so he made a racist comment get over it he has black friends and he doesn't use it on a daily basis he slipped wrong but he apoligized why hang on it. he has millions more money then we do if were reading this so obvioulsy it didnt hurt his career.!
ok this i don't get. denise richards isn't black . i mean he was married to her, he should know right? i don't really see how this stupid word is so offensive anymore, it's just a word. we give it so much validity, i think more than it deserves. it's like any other derogatory remark, if you don't let it offend you than it has no power. AND charlie sheen is an idiot… even before this, he seems like a dishonest used car salesman to me.. creepy
Team nobody. Charlie has his issues. Yet again they surface. However I think Denise is one crazy broad. She probably drove him too leave them. Plus can we all say we have never been this mad at another?
Charlie Sheen was born **Carlos Irwin Estévez** on September 3, 1965, in New York City. His father, Martin Sheen, was born **Ramon Antonio Gerard Estévez** on August 3, 1940 in Dayton, Ohio. Charlie needs to remember that he's not white.
i would love 2 hear from tony todd
YES, IT'S TRUE!!! Charlie's best friend is a BLACK MAN! I personally know Tony Todd and he is an incredible man. He has been Charlie's support system and confidant throughout Charlie's ups and downs in life. Tony Todd (actor Little Big League, Lockdown etc.) and Charlie Sheen have been best friends since playing little league baseball together as children and attended Santa Monica High together. Over the years, Charlie has given Tony cars, trips to Europe as well as TRUE FRIENDSHIP. Charlie even suprised Tony by having Tony's classic Lemans car overhauled on the show OVERHAULIN on TLC. Maybe not a good choice of words for Charlie—but he probably ran out of names to call Denise when he was pissed off. CHARLIE IS NOT A RACIST. He is a man driven crazy by his ex wife and their domestic issues. Tony Todd is not angry with Charlie Sheen and he is the first one to say Charlie is not a racist! So, to all of the doubters…that Charlie has a Black "best friend"—yes he does and he loves Mr. Tony Todd like family. Speaking of family, Tony's mom loves Charlie and Charlie definitely LOVES her soul food.
