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

By Rob Shuter Posted Mar 28th 2011 09:33PM

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."

You THOUGHT he was getting better, maybe not so messed up, but he's recycling, and it could be more violent on this round. I am only sad for his "victims" that tried so hard to support him.

didn't even read article. i refuse[this is my last time] to feed into this persons dire need of pro. help.[mental&drugs and infatuation to be in the spot light]. all the media does is fuel his insanity,which he inturn ,thinks is acceptable. how very, very sad for sheen.he's spiraling down and has no clue. he is just a pawn for the frenzy feeding media. he thinks its all about him!! see where he stands this time next year[if no intervention] i'm willing to bet,someone is going to enact the 51/50.[intervention without his permission] i hope it's soon so he can get well. he is a great actor when not acting in this manner. "good luck charlie"

By Too Short

MEMO to CHARLIE-
Denise is not VILE..she is fed up.
Use your freakin' head.
This circus act is getting boring.
Either you are a good person who happens to act.
Or a freak and you can live on your own planet.
At first I was a little in your corner...your not WINNING CHARLIE much longer...DUH

By bcwald

I was wondering how long poor Denise could avoid that train wreck before he zeroed in on her. Everytime her phone rang she was probably freaking out it was that mentally ill drug addict calling with some crazy request. I feel sorry for her and HER kids.

This is a pompous man who has had many business failures, has been bankrupt many times and has seemed to find the time to argue with many personalities like a child. His ego is immense and his childlike manner has been exposed on every media. He continues to make a fool of himself. This should tell you something about this man. He is not as smart as he claims to be and in polls with other potential Republican candidates, he ranks 10%. Could you see this man who is not known for his diplomatic approach converse with world leaders. I don't care about his birth certificate. I wouldn't care if he left our country. He has money, so he thinks he is the epitome of greatness. He is far from a great man and far from a good businessman. He relies mostly on others to run his businesses that is why he has so much time to relentlessly talk or argue about ridiculous things. There is never much substance on what this man has to say. He wants to be a Republican candidate, that in itself deserves a laugh. He knows full well he hasn't even a remote chance of being a candidate. So Donald, cool it and stop this nonsense and stupidity. Stop making a fool of yourself.

Why doesn't the press just stop giving Charlie Sheen the airtime???? I am sick and tired of his rants and raves, and the press just keeps giving him what he wants. Enough, Enough!!

By eodas

Charlie is a pathetic, mentally ill loser.

By jman69

Charlie is a has been. A making of his own doing. Money, drugs
and women. But to attack your ex-wife of your two girls.
That's crossing the line. Grow a pair, and get help.

By sway

Doesn't surprise me at all, Charlie has always abused woman. He is a total coward and bully. Charlie Sheen is nothing but a bag of sh*t

By Irenic

Be careful who you have kids with...

By Victoria

This is not a good story for you, Charlie. Not at all. No one will look favorably on your neglect of two precious, helpless animals. Shame on you.

By Enough Already

Enough already, Charlie. In this electronic world that we live in, at some point, your daughters will be able to google the vile things you have said about their mother. He needs help, now. Where is his family?
