Tabloid sites have already run with the story, but in <em>aka Charlie Sheen <\/em>the star is frustratingly coy about his experiences with men, though ultimately he admits it, but brushes it off as just being weird.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s an explosive bombshell story, but not what I came to the documentary to see. As an avid fan of sitcoms, I was far more interested in hearing Sheen discuss what happened with <em>Two and a Half Men <\/em>and his widely publicized 2011 meltdown that culminated in a bizarre nationwide tour with talks about tiger blood, #winning, and his then-girlfriends, Bree Olson and Natalie Kenly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Bree Olsen in &lt;em&gt;aka Charlie Sheen&lt;\/em&gt;\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/NkyvMfWhzjIZuzRiejGCcg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/9f515654b4b2dec4c03090c8b7aad108\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Bree Olsen in <em>aka Charlie Sheen<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">2011 was a very strange year that\u2019s hard to describe, but people paid money to watch videos of Charlie Sheen playing Call of Duty. Not watch him play, that would make too much sense, these were videos he\u2019d show during his one-man shows of him on his couch and losing at Team Deathmatch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>aka Charlie Sheen <\/em>goes into the very public downward spiral that caused him to leave the number one sitcom in America, and his co-star, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/jon-cryer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jon Cryer;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Jon Cryer<\/a>, is on hand to share his side of the story, noting that before working with Sheen for eight years, he had hair. As with most tell-all celebrity documentaries, if the subject is involved, it\u2019s going to pull punches, and it\u2019s here that the documentary frustratingly pulls back.
