Now the world finally knows actor Charlie Sheen is gearing up to announce his HIV-positive status on the US Today Show imminently, concern is growing for his most recent ex-girlfriend Brett Rossi.
While there is no suggestion any of his former lovers have been infected, the former porn star has made no secret of the fact she and Charlie had a turbulent romance.
In February 2014, the 50-year-old actor proposed to Brett while on holidays in Hawaii.
“This is the happiest moment of both our lives. He’s my best friend and my soulmate,” the model explained at the time.
It would have been Charlie’s fourth trip down the aisle after previously being married to Donna Peele, Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller.
But it wasn’t meant to be and in October that year, just weeks before their November nuptials, the pair announced they’d called it a day.
In happier times… Charlie and Brett share a kiss at the Running Of The Bulls Festival in Pamplona, Spain last year.
“Scotty and I had a great year together as we travelled the world and crossed a lot of things off our bucket list. She’s a terrific gal – but we’ve mutually decided to go our separate ways,” the Two and a Half Men star explained in a statement at the time.
Fast forward to October this year and Radar Online obtained a disturbing video which shows the 26-year-old furiously burning memories from their 11-month tryst.
Nothing was off-limits as Brett, who also goes by the name of Scottine Ross, torched hundreds of photos and sobbed “burn motherf*****!”
Up in flames: Radar Online have obtained footage of Sheen’s former fiancee burning mementos from their relationship.
“Offer me a hundred grand for being married to you, practically. You piece of s**. I hate him,” she cries in the emotionally-fuelled clip, which also shows her destroying his favourite book, Catcher in the Rye*.
In August, Brett took to Twitter to fume that “the truth always comes out” seemingly in regards to Sheen.
“Only you and I know what happened behind closed doors … And YOU know what happened wasn’t right. So keep spinning people’s wheels,” Brett penned.
“They only listen & agree because they are on ur payroll. Yes, these tweets are aimed directly to u … hope ur minions inform u as they always do,” she alleged.
The fiery tweets have since been deleted and Brett is yet to comment on Charlie’s apparent HIV status.
The 26-year-old burnt hundreds of photos from their 11-month relationship.
In the video the adult film star sobs as she screams “You piece of s***. I hate him!”
Meanwhile US Weekly reports that Sheen’s second ex-wife Denise Richards, whom he split with in 2006 after four years of marriage, has known about his illness for some time and she and their children are in the clear.
“[Charlie] got infected after they were together, four years ago or so,” an insider told the publication.
Denise and Charlie share two daughters together Sam, 11, and Lola, 10.
In the clear: A source tells US Weekly that Charlie’s second ex-wife Denise Richards and their two daughters are not infected with HIV.
Following Charlie’s split with Brooke Mueller in 2010, the father-of-five began living with two porn stars, who he affectionately called his goddesses, in his LA mansion.
Now one of those ladies has taken to her website to share a message about her health.
Bree Olsen, 29, didn’t mention Sheen directly but did confirm she is HIV-free.
“There are speculations circling that one of my ex boyfriends from years ago may have contracted the HIV virus. They are rumors and I know nothing more than anyone else,” she explained.
“I, myself have been to my gynecologist at least once a year since we split up and have always been tested across the board for everything and have came back clean across the board every time.”
Ahead of her diagnosis Bree nervously tweeted: “Recorded myself for half an hour being tested for HIV and getting the results. This is so stressful.”
HIV, which affects the immune system and can develop into AIDS if left untreated, is spread through the bodily fluid of infected people.
