What's Behind Charlie Sheen's 'Vile' Attack on Denise Richards?

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Sheen unleashed a
vile attack Monday morning on ex-wife
Denise Richards, the mother of his two daughters and one of his last defenders, calling the actress a "traitor and loser whore" and "dog thief" on his uber-popular
Twitter feed. Now, sources very close to the former couple reveal what's really fueling Charlie's newfound hatred of Denise.
"Denise didn't steal the dogs, he gave them back to her," a close friend of Charlie's tells me, referring to two pugs that no longer stay with the actor. "They were in horrendous shape. He doesn't want the dogs, he wants to fight!"
True, just read what @CharlieSheen tweeted to 3 million followers this morning: "We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH-neese POOR-ards. a vile kidnapper and now dog thief. hate."
A source tells me that the pugs were in fact Denise's, but that after their divorce she let him keep them at his house so that when their daughters came to visit, "they would feel more at home." But then following his infamous hotel-trashing incident in NYC, he gave the dogs back to her.
"They were in terrible shape. He could not look after himself let alone two dogs," Charlie's friend tells me, adding that giving back the dogs was a sort of "thank you gift" for her steadfast support of him.
Sadly, according to TMZ, one of the pugs has died since leaving Sheen's "Sober Valley Lodge."
During his epic run of interviews last month, Charlie called Denise "fabulous" and "smoking hot," saying that he loves her "to death." But I'm told his mood swung wildly after Denise rebuffed his request to allow their daughters, Sam and Lola, to be a part of a Dateline special.
"When his sons with Brooke [Mueller] were removed from his custody last month, he asked Denise to bring their daughters to tape interviews, and she said no," my source said. "Since that, things with Charlie have been very, very ugly."
"Once you offend him, he will go out of his way to destroy you," the friend says.
And even with all this hatred and negativity, a source close to both Charlie and Denise stresses that the actress will continue to be civil for the sake of their kids.
"Denise doesn't agree with his lifestyle, but has always been respectful because of the daughters," my source contends. "She'll always be there for Charlie, but she can't put her kids through this."

He did kill the dog. TMZ said the dog died of malnutrition.
Who killed the dog. Would u leave your dog with Charlie? Or the kids for that matter. We all know TMZ is a quotable authority (HA.HA)
He needs to be put in a mental hospital soon, before he really hurts someone. Is it a 5150? Why hasn't his dad or brother or mom stepped in and get this loser some help. Never been a fan of Denise, but now I feel bad for her and the girls. God knows what the girls are hearing in school and from their friends about dad. Denise is doing great with the girls.

Seriously. What's wrong with the rest of the Sheens? Why aren't they moving to get this man some help? Are they waiting for him to lose it all together and kill someone? I don't care how old he is,if I had a child that was having these psychotic episodes like Sheen,I'd move Heaven and Earth to help him.
actually his family, mainly dad and emilio have tried numerous interventions with him in the past..sad thing is if the abuser of drugs/alcohol doesn't really want help it's futile to try and make them..
For those of you who blame the Sheen family, you obviously know nothing of addiction or enabling. Charlie has to figure it out for himself or die. No one else can force him to do anything, save for a court of law. RIP Charlie. You're almost there.
So, Charlie wants to use his two daughters in interviews and he neglected his two pets. He's so self-involved, it's disgusting!

After this interview, he was probably going to take them on this so called tour with him to help him earn their keep. Since Denise didn't allow him to make that call, he hates her now.what a loser!!!!!
We could fix that in a hurry here in Texas.

How could we get him to go to Texas? I'm for it!!!!!
reports are he had the 2 little boys at his house for the interview but had not seen them for months!! He is a fake abuser druggy women beater!! get him off the air!!

People are losing interest so he is grabbing for pubilicty. His tweeter followers will start to drop off soon. You would think he would know better than to continue his attacks on people that is what is driving the people who cared what happened to him away I know because I ws one.

I hope the low-life hits rock bottom and ends up in the street homeless.
Then he'll go through what the dogs went through. Maybe he will die to of nelect.

Every time Charlie sets out to destroy someone else, he only ends up destroying himself more in the process. If he had any brain cells left, he would see just how much of a madman he makes himself out to be. I seriously doubt that he will ever return to sanity - as he has lost his mind about as much as I have ever seen.

Charlie Sheen never had any talent anyway. He is just another of those Hollywood spoiled brats who feed off the fame and talents of a family member. I watched Two and a half men a couple of times and found his character to be boring with a tired old story line. Funniest person on the show was the housekeeper. Why not just replace him?? Easy enough to fix.
i had a cat looked a lot like yours charlie, the only thing mine kept leaving his sent on everything and everybody.i finaly took him to the vet, the vet left big jim but took the twins,that buddie has made a great housecat,setteled right down real fast. maybe if your dad and mom need direction in your case it might be just what the vet orders for you,you animal.

Thank God they took his sons out of that house! It's pretty obvious that he could give a crap about his young children; the daughters were just to be used as a photo op for him.
He can't take care of two dogs, how is he going to take care of his children?

Can somebody baker act this idiot before he actually kills someone???

When they first split he did all he could to make it look like she was the problem & I must admit that I had my doubts about her too, mainly becaise she was doing the "talk show circuit" telling her story, which made her look kinda bad....But we've all since found out what she had to deal with during her time with him. I can only imagine what that poor girl had to go through & was put through by that freak.

I don't care that Charlie is nuts or not but I DO care that he abused the pugs. I read that one died from malnutrition, nice way to go Charlie. You make me phycisally ill, not mental like you!
