The Celebrity Truth

Charlie Sheen has issued an apology for a foul-mouthed voicemail message that he left ex-wife Denise Richards three years ago, after the recording surfaced online this week.

The ‘Two and a Half Men’ actor’ calls Richards a “f*cking c**t and a “f*cking ni**er” in the offending tape that was dated April 19, 2005.

In response to the leak, Sheen issued an apology saying, “I deeply apologize by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings.”

He adds, “And for the record, my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation.  So three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis.”
