44 year old actor Charlie Sheen is currently starring in the popular comedy “Two and a Half Men.” His father is well known actor Martin Sheen, most recently of “The West Wing.” Charlie has been charged with domestic violence and is currently being held without bail due to Colorado state law.
The question up in the air is whether or not Charlie was the aggressor or his wife, Brooke, was. She called the police and accused Charlie of attacking her.
“The actor's rep, Stan Rosenfield, tells PEOPLE, "Do not be mislead by appearance. Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day. It would benefit everyone not to jump to any conclusion."
The sad part of this is that this happened on Christmas Day and, since it is Friday, he may have to spend the weekend in jail before telling his side of the story to the judge. I’m not going to judge, but if he is guilty, he is where he belongs. On the other hand, if he isn’t, then shame on Brooke for having him arrested. It is horrible when false accusations are made and it makes it harder for women that are true sufferers of spousal abuse to get justice.
Update: Charlie posted an $8,500 bond after speaking to a county judge, according to the New York Daily News, and, "Sheen was arrested in 1996 and charged with attacking a girlfriend at his home. He pleaded no contest and was placed on two years' probation."
