As previously reported, Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen publicly admitted that he is HIV-positive hoping that the extortion from people who continuously threatened to expose his secret would stop. Now that the word is out, the extortion may have stopped but the collateral effects of his destructive lifestyle seemed to get bigger and bigger.
In a more recent news, Charlie's former flame porn star Elizabeth "Sara" Bentley broadcasted a suicide bid on social media. According to Radar Online, Bentley took to Periscope to tell her followers that she was going to smoke pot and drink Drano. Following the broadcast, Bentley's Twitter account was flooded with messages from concerned followers.
A follow up Periscope video by Rachel Oberlin then came out assuring followers that the adult entertainer is okay. She said of Bentley, "I'm so glad that she reached out and talked with me."
"I had no idea that she had any correlation with this Charlie Sheen thing and as much as I'm really sad that it happened and this was unfortunate circumstances," added Oberlin. "I don't feel like everything happens for a reason, but sometimes you can't help but think that."
The Periscope broadcast came out a surprise because in previous reports, Bentley is said to have praised the actor for practicing "safe sex." It was also reported that she did not know at that time that Charlie Sheen was HIV-positive but said that she was not mad at him. According to Mirror, Elizabeth reportedly claimed she was relieved to have heard from the actor's HIV declaration that "the virus is undetectable in Sheen's system." The publication added that porn star Bentley has confirmed to TMZ that multiple tests after her encounter with the actor all came back negative.
The 50-year-old HIV-positive actor reportedly said on the Today Show, where he admitted his condition that it was unlikely he had spread HIV to any of his ex-partners.
