Charlie Sheen's Goddesses Are Insulting to Women Everywhere

By Jo Piazza Posted Mar 2nd 2011 08:00PM

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.

Mrs/Ms Piazza,

I think you have done a fine job of taking any responsibility from these two young ladies. "Sex slaves" really this is hyperbole at its worst. A slave has no control over their situation. You belitte all the real sex slave victims around the world by using this in such a manner. These women have chosen to be Sheen's objects. They can leave whenever they feel like it. Sheen may very well be creepy and misogynistic, but these women play a role in this scenario as well.

This guy is on a post-detox rant. The biggest issue with him right now is that he thinks he is beyond anyone else giving him the help he needs. Delusions of grandeaur. If AA didn't work for him-ok-but why put it down for the people it helped? Until he reaches aplace of humility and some sort of responsability for what happenened, keeep the kids out of it. Protect them until this pompous if not talented imbecile realizes that he has an issue that requires the humility to ask for guidance from somebody who can help him permanently be well. He is ill. Get the help you can respect and accept, I don't care what it is. He sounds like a "dry-drunk" right now. I truly wish him and his family well, but he will require help and support to maintain sobriety-and he should find the way that works for him without porn stars and suck ups surrounding him.

Very Creepy! First of all Hugh Hefner was never charged with hurting a woman. I don't agree with his lifestyle, but he does seem to be very kind and respectful to the women. Very opposite of Sheen. Sheen is scary and he has the record to prove it. One of the girls looked kind of scared of him in one of the interviews in the kitchen. Get out girls!

By Jimmy jam

These are 2 vapid, money hungry, dolts that want to be in the limelight and want Charlie's cash. Nothing more, nothing less. Get over it. "Sex Slaves" is a joke.......don't insult Mr. Sheen like that. Charlie is the man.....

What a goof bag this author is! Hasn't she heard of the way Hugh Hefner lives? Just like this. Perhaps she's a bit too young and hysterical about this to write about it. Its seems so. While I don't condone this kind of living, I am annoyed by the hysteria the subject author is hung up on.

Real bad writing here. REAL BAD.

By DENISE

Women are sick to death of men who will not grow up.

By Tom

It seems to me if you are for women's rights, then these two young women should be able to do whatever they want. It doesn't sound like Charlie (who I happen to dislike) is chaining them in the basement or holding them beyond their will. You can approve or disapprove of the relationship, but ultimately, they can and should be able to do whatever they want. Who cares? Live and let live.

By Kid Kielboss

This very well could be the most ludicrous article I have ever read. The author is insulting to women, not Charlie.

By AdonisDNA4Sale

I looked up'goddess' in the dictionary and it had a pic of these two ho-bags with a big red X though it.

By Ted

What a stupid crackhead this butt head is! they should not even do a report or have this drug adict drunk mentioned on tv, this is bad for young people and families to look at. this slob is no example to anyone but another crackhead!

By BGee

When Hugh Heffner does the same thing, everyone thinks -- isn't Hugh cute and likeable. If Charlie's godesses upset you, then I imagine the Playboy Mansion drives you balistic. For me, I'm just jealous. (Of Charlie and Hugh!)
