This morning, Charlie Sheen exclusively revealed to the "Today" show's Matt Lauer that he is HIV-positive. In the wake of the announcement, Sheen's third ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, released a statement that said she and her two sons with Sheen are all HIV-negative.
"Brooke has been inundated with calls from friends and family," said Mueller's rep, Steve Honig, in a statement, according to "Entertainment Tonight." "To put their minds at ease, Brooke can confirm that she and the boys are not HIV-positive."
In the interview with Lauer, Sheen said he told ex-wives Mueller and Denise Richards that he was HIV-positive in 2011. At the time, he was still married to Mueller and told her to get checked. The two, married from 2008 to 2011, share 6-year-old twin boys together, Bob and Max, according to USA Today. Sheen also has two daughters, Sam, 11, and Lola, 10, with Richards. Sheen's oldest child, 30-year-old daughter Cassandra, is the only one he told about his diagnosis.
"I told my oldest daughter Cassandra the other night. It hit her hard.... I said, 'Sweetie, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner,'" Sheen told Lauer. "'It didn't seem like you could do anything for me and I didn't want to burden you with all the stress.'"
While Sheen claimed in his "Today" interview that he revealed he is HIV-positive to all his sexual partners, ex-girlfriend Bree Olson — who lived with him in 2011 following his infamous public meltdown after he was fired from "Two and a Half Men" — said that was not true.
"He never said anything to me. I was his girlfriend, I lived with him. We were together. We had sex almost every day for a year with lambskin condoms, which do not protect.... There were times we didn't even use condoms because it was only to prevent pregnancy," said Olson, as HNGN previously reported.
