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.

He could be practicing Tantra - and that's why he refers to them as Goddessess. But more likely they are high paid hookers, and want to be in the spotlight. I don't think it brings women down. Why are situations like this always a supposedly negative reflection on women? To me, it's the man who appears to be an idiot and the women are making out big time, while he really thinks they think he is a God or something. Why not make a bunch of money off of someone who has a bunch. It's a business. It's prostitution, and it should be legalized.

Personally, I find this situation gross and disturbing. However, since both girls are over 18, and they seem to be living with him voluntarily, I don't see why people are so up in arms about it. Leave their sex lives alone, who cares.
Charlie Sheen used to be a talented actor, and he had potential to be great. But he messed it all up, so let's all get over it, stop giving him attention, because many people tired of hearing about it. Then he can fade into the obscurity of has-been druggie land.

You know, if this is how he chooses to live, and the twits he chooses to live with--the only thing I feel bad about is that he has children; eventually they will have hear of this and be forced to deal with repercussions on some level; fortunately, as least as of yet, he's worth enough to afford the best of therapists, if they need it. But, if we are to hear him without judgement, yes, some of us are meant to live 'different' lifestyles, and as long as he's not hurting anyone... If the press were not here, we'd know nothing of his private life. I figure, he's not judging me on mine--married, 3 kids, suburbs, *yawn*, yup, I'm a slice of Wonder Bread--so, it's really none of my business what he does in his.

Charlie waited a little too long to emulate Hugh Hefner and his sex slave bunnies.

Hugh Heffner has been living with more than one woman for years and no one has said anything to him about his"goddesses" Charlie is no different than Hugh Heffner. GIVE HIM A FREAKEN BRAKE.

These girls are making their own choices. "Rach" is actually Rachel Oberlin, aka Bree Olson, one of todays most prolific porn stars. It's not like she's really hurting for money. She's made several appearences on various TV shows.
Hey, if you were in his shoes, I'm sure you'd have the girls there too. Knowing who they are, you can say what you want about them. But if you knew two gals identical to these two, but without the notoriety, you'd say that they were hot.
But Charlie should quit the rock. That will do him in, if he keeps going at the rate he already is.

I think sheen's goddesses are pretty representative of american women.

You know, Hugh Hefner(sp?) has been doing this for YEARS, and he's made millions, and he's been married to women that could be his granddaughters, including his current fiancee, and I don't see ANYONE giving him a hard time about how he treats women as sex objects?! And if ever there was a man who treated women as sex objects, I mean, c'mon! Everyone was wondering who these women were, and what roles they played in Charlie's life, so he opens his doors to the world, and leaves nothing to speculation, and this is the thanks that he gets?! GROW UP PEOPLE, and get a life !

I like the part where it's about him being a rich WHITE male that explains his behavior. We all know that thug rappers of a different skin color NEVER treat women this way. Funny how "racism" is only worried about in one direction.

The media is taking advantage of the mental state he's in. They should not have shown all that. His kids are going to see this someday and thats really sad. What they should have done is have an intervention and threaten to take the kids if he didnt shape up. Maybe that would have been a wake up call. He's too vulnerable right now and is going down really fast. Its sad to say, but i think pretty soon we'll be reading his obituary. what a shame.

Firstly, stop calling the one girl a model. That's an insult to those who are models!! Secondly, stop calling them sex slaves, that's a bigger insult to those who are actual prisioners of the sex trade industry. And finally, to Debi, forget how he would feel about his mother. He has two daughters and one huge heap of bad karma to reap. Oh, the pain he will endure as they live out the sins of their father.

Who in their right mind actually thinks Charlie Sheen is attractive? The guy is disgusting on every level possible. If these two women are stupid enough to be with him, it is their own fault if they are treated this way.
