Charlie Sheen set to reveal HIV status
NBC kept everyone guessing on Monday when it announced that actor Charlie Sheen would be making a “revealing personal announcement” on the “Today” show which aired on Tuesday morning.
Threat Of Law Suit Blew Open Sheen’s HIV Status
Though it came as a mild shock when actor Sheen came on to tell the world that he had HIV, new report has revealed that the actor had known about his HIV status for more than a year now but kept it a secret.
However, it was the threat of law suit from his former partners that prompted the “Two and Half Men” actor to make a public confession.
In addition, Hollywood public relations specialist Howard Bragman was quoted in People Magazine saying that Sheen “is getting treatment, and a lot of people in his life know about it.”
