Ah, the rewards of being a celebrity. Status and money mean a lot when it comes to living above the rest of us. The latest bad behavior, last week, involved Charlie Sheen’s rampage in a New York hotel suite.
Media reports told how a drunken Sheen damaged furniture in his room, held a porn actress against her will and tested positive for cocaine after being hospitalized.
If most other human beings acted in such a manner — committing any one of those three offenses — police would arrest them and prosecutors would draw up charges. Instead, Sheen, after being released from hospitalization, got on a private jet and headed back to Hollywood to resume filming his sitcom, Two and a Half Men.
And this all happened while Sheen was on probation — two months after being convicted of assaulting his wife last Christmas and spending 30 days in a drug rehabilitation facility. CBS shut down production of Two and a Half Men in February, then rewarded Sheen with a raise to a whopping $1.9 million per episode.
Sheen, 45, is a hot commodity because his show is the highest-rated sitcom on television. He portrays an immoral womanizer, which only seems to fuel his real-life bad behavior. In the past, Sheen has shot a fiancée, been cited as a client at brothels, dated two former porn actresses, overdosed on cocaine, and been accused of abusing drugs and domestic violence with a former wife. On Monday he filed for divorce from his current wife. The man has serious sex addiction and anger issues.
Wealth and fame aren’t worth much to stars who ultimately go over the edge too far.
