Charlie Sheen's Goddesses Are Insulting to Women Everywhere
Pop-Ed: Charlie Sheen believes his tiger blood and Adonis DNA allow him to treat women like objects, sex slaves and nannies -- anything but his equals.
Watch any of Sheen's live interviews in his posh Hollywood estate and you will see one of his two goddesses, Natty, a bikini model, and Rach (also known as Bree, her porn name) scurrying about in the background, making coffee, fetching one of Charlie's twins or generally giggling (cowering?) behind sunglasses while they watch their lord and master do his thing on camera.
"He treats these women like they are interchangeable objects," says Jessica Wakeman, a blogger for
The Frisky, a pop culture site for young women. "He is a rich, white, attractive dude who has power in Hollywood and because of that he is sending a message to people that it is acceptable to treat women like this."
Sheen refers to these ladies as his goddesses, often with a sly smirk. Both are in their early 20s and if we want to call a spade a spade, look much more like his daughters than his lovers. In fact, one friend of mine told me she threw up a little in her mouth when she saw Charlie make out with Bree on television.
"I really thought he was her dad," she said.
Here's the Goddess Segment from '20/20'
Yahoo Shine's Piper Weiss agrees the whole polyamorous scenario is beyond creepy.
"These women seem pretty young. I'm not saying they're underage, but they do seem kind of tragic because he's this old guy who's throwing money at them," Weiss told us. "They seem like concubines -- old school concubines."
On 'The Howard Stern Show' Tuesday morning, Sheen revealed the sleeping arrangement he has worked out with the goddesses, whereby they each sleep in their own beds in the same room. When he is ready to retire, Charlie enters the room like a monarch and chooses between the two. We wonder which one sighs in relief.
Particularly insulting in this entire scenario is the use of the term goddess, a typically sacred title used to refer to a woman who is treated with special reverence.
A more apt moniker in this case would be sex slave, although it doesn't sound as pretty in live interviews.
"The truth is that the women seem more like sex slaves, but to not insult them to their faces he calls them 'goddesses,' a term that women use to embrace power, the opposite of what he seems to really mean by that term. He also is very clear about why he likes prostitutes, so you do the math," says Cooper Lawrence, 'Cult of Celebrity' author and radio personality on the Scott & Todd show on WPLJ.
Weiss adds that there is something creepily similar in this scenario to the Manson Family.
"There's also something very Manson girls to it. They're these docile believers in a man the world knows has lost it," Weiss says. She also wonders, "Why is it so often young women? And why aren't we more concerned for these girls' well-being?"
That is a fair question. While Sheen may appear all lovey dovey to the goddesses when the cameras are rolling, he has a history of extreme violence against women, most recently his reported attack on an escort in a Plaza hotel room. Before that he was charged with domestic abuse against his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, who alleged he held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her.
This goddess situation is like dynamite waiting for a match and in the meantime sends a degrading message about how American men with power and money can and do treat the women in their lives.

Sex Slaves! Concubines!Oh Please! Those two women are a couple of hookers who are most likely being very well paid to play their part in this circus!

In other news, Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn Jet to Mexico. Nope, nothing creepy about this 50 year old hot-head dating a woman half his age.
Hypocrites.
Exactly! Also, what happened to equal rights? Women are entitled to be just as stupid and low-life and creepy as men. Also, why's everyone on Sheen's butt about these women when Hugh Hefner has been doing it far longer and far older than him?
Sheen or Gadhafi, who is more insane than the other...??

As long as they are all adults and consents with mutual benefits who are you to say no? case of envy? go out get your own girl. yes you can do it too. and mind your own business.

Agreed, go out and get your own girl or girls but don't let them put their hands on your kids.
So this is okay to you? You're just as creepy as they are.
Just as Charlie is insulting to "MEN" (not boys who think he's there hero) everywhere.

Charlie is only doing and saying what most men only fantasize about doing and saying.
I enjoy that he has the financial wherewithal to, albiet for how long remains a question, to live how he chooses, insult every lilly livered hypocrite, freak the world out with his meglomaniac diatribes, and on top of that gets to have two pretty hot twenty-somethings - god you idiots - get a clue! He's totally right - I think he should go for a third, maybe more.
Oh - and of course he's strung out - most lights are the brightest right before they burn out . . .
"Manson girls?" Seriously? That's a bit much. This "arrangment" is pretty simple. These girls are with Charlie, because of his money, fame and all the publicity the can get. Really no different, than the girls that have been with Hugh Hefner. (Charlie's is better looking, and much younger though!)Charlie's using them, and they're using Charlie, so it's mutual. Not hard to figure out.

But we've never heard of Hugh Hefner abusing a woman in his entire lifetime and he didn't use them as nannies for his kids. Hugh Hefner is the epitome of the American playboy -- he created an empire based on that -- and he's not an addict or mentally troubled.
lorjon, that's exactly what i was thinking! Also, anyone who takes their cues from this guy is an idiot anyway. He's going to end up dead real quick here from his "habits" so he better enjoy it while he can. Sheen has quite a history of abusing women, not just these latest two they mentioned, there are at least two or three more in his past that ppl don't talk about. PS-"We wonder which one sighs in relief." Funniest thing i've heard in a while if you ask me.
Go Charlie its ya' birthday

Are we supposed to feel sorry for them, that they've allowed themselves to be exploited by this rich white big daddy??? He must be paying them very well, so most likely they're not slaves at all. And when this is over (please, soon), they'll both get big fat book deals. So Charlie should feel insulted here, for being taken in by a couple of opportunists intent upon superstardumb.

I wonder how he would feel if someone treated his mother like he treats women. Maybe with his atitude he wouldn't mind doing his mother.

That is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy, the power of the pen. Who are you trying to impress; all of the women that you do not have living in your abode. Who are you trying to defend? Certainly not these "lady's" who have made the concience decision to live in this situation. My I presume that you had the same retoric for Hugh? Or, inyour case should I ask WHO?

These women are not victims. They are adult women who made the choices they have. They're in their twenties, they're not children. They know what they're doing. They weren't exactly Nuns before, ya know? They're not slaves to anything. They know where the door is and they can walk out any time they choose. But Charlie has money, and they're not looking at the door. They're looking at his wallet.

The writer of this article is transparently jealous of the two godesses. Get a life and leave Sheen alone.
