Actor Charlie Sheen has reportedly paid millions of dollars as hush money to ensure at least five home-recorded sex videos, with him in it, were never publicized.
An article on RadarOnline.com stated that the "Two and a Half Men" star has "forked out at least $10 million on the raunchy recordings, which depict him with various sexual partners, including men, women -- and in one case -- a transsexual."
The actor has admitted to paying millions of dollars to make sure that his diagnosis was to be kept a secret from the time he learned he was HIV positive in 2011. Sources say that the tapes were recorded around the time of his public breakdown in 2011, an article from Daily Mail reported.
Sources also said that one of the videos is in the hands of a gay Hollywood party boy who was one of the men that Sheen had sex with in one of the videos. Still another video was from a transsexual who secretly recorded his tryst with the actor to blackmail him.
Finally, another tape, still according to Radar online, is about a threesome with Sheen, his ex-wife Brooke Mueller and a different male.
In a separate incident that happened in 2009 while Sheen and Mueller were on vacation in Aspen, a friend of the actor was reported to have slept with him and Mueller. Brooke called 911 during that time claiming that Sheen had forced her on the bed with a four-inch pocketknife to her throat.
The actor father of five was arrested that time. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor and received a 30-day sentence in rehab. After this highly publicized incident, Mueller stopped coordinating with the police and admitted herself to a rehab facility.
A source told the site that the actor did not want his diagnosis to be revealed to the world however, "in too many cases to keep count -- he was caught on video as well."
Hush money was used to get the sex tapes destroyed and Sheen's diagnosis secret, the article from Daily Mail stated.
