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."

Stop talking about this loser. Write when he kills himself.

By Norman Prevatte

This is a perfect example of someone with too much money, and not enough sense to handle it. Someone needs to take charge of Mr. Sheen and get him to some kind of advance rehab facility. Otherwise he is dead.

Charlie Sheen is crazy....plain and simple. He wants to exploit his 2 beauTIFUL DAUGHTERS because he can't exploit his sons since they were taken away. He is so wrong for turning on Denise. She is the only one that did not turn her back on him. Shame on you charlie. Your in desperate need of help....get it now.

By helen hunt

Denise Richards has handled this horror who is Charlie Sheen with such Grace. He needs to just shut up and go far far away, he is toxic poison for his children.

By Janice

AS I HAVE ALWAYS SAID (NOT ALL NUTS ARE LOCKED UP)
NOW WHAT ELSE DOES THOSE BELIVERS NEED TO KNOW HE NEED TO STAY OFF AND GET THE HELP HE REALLY NEEDS. I HOPE THE JUDGE SEE'S THIS AND NEVER LETS HIM SEE THE KIDS WITHOUT SOMEONE THERE.

By Ray

Charlie has major head problems and he thinks he can handle them himself even though he has no clue what they are?
He needs professional help big time!!

By bk6889

I can't even stand to watch his show anymore, they've really made him into a lush. I guess it's more so for me since I see how he's been acting off screen. He use to be very funny but not anymore, really boring now. He really has lost it.

By jld

Sheen is a disspicable excuse for a man who is using up air space and I WAS a fan of his show. A real Dad his kids can be proud of........yah right!!!!!! For me, I've had enough of his crap!!!!

What a whack job!

By saver603

Charlie, you go way too far. Denise has kept her dignity and tried to protect YOUR CHILDREN from you and your life and you attack her so viciously?

I have to agree with another poster, you were kind of funny up until now, but you may lose the rest of your fan base over this one.

By rt sain

F.U CHARLIE If you can't feed your dogs , you shouldn't have your kids either kids. What a loser.

By crystalbones

Anyone can see that Charlie Sheen uses too many drugs which contribute to his wild mood swings.

Why do we care anymore. He needs rehabilitation.

The women put up with him because he has money.

By m

I have to say kudos to Denise. You don't hear very often of a star putting their kids first over an interview. A lot of those people would use their kids to get extra attention. Also, she has had many opportunities to put Charlie down in interviews and hasn't.

By Mike

Instead of defending him, it's time for Sheen's family to take him out back of the woodshed. The guy is a total whackjob.

By Carm

HE is a total fueled up drug addict.......and most of all a piece of CRAP...I don't even know why people waste there time and money to go and see him
Can't wait till they find him dead on the street somewhere. Be a perfect place for him

By Maryyy

I have a question. Someone said the dogs were in horrible shape. What exactly does that mean? Didn't he bother to feed them? And how did one of them die? Is this pathetic excuse for a father/husband/boyfriend,also an animal abuser? I am soooo disgusted with him.

By oldwarhorse

Charlie is just having a stuck in stupid episode.

By CAROLYN

He's a jerk, just like most other men. I have no respect for a man that will call a woman that he once loved and had children with such terrible names. Sounds like a spoiled rotten brat.
