Troubled actor Charlie Sheen has said that he’s planning to make a “revealing personal announcement” in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Tuesday edition of the U.S. Today show.
While the substance of the interview has not been revealed, it has been widely reported that Sheen will address wide-spread rumours that he is HIV positive, and that he concealed his condition from his former partners.
Radar Online report that at least four former sexual partners have come forward in recent months accusing Sheen of exposing them to HIV, and that there are “several active lawsuits”.
Sheen’s former fiancée, who filmed herself burning photos of him and mementos in a bonfire when the two broke up, raged against the star, telling him – via The National Enquirer – “you exposed me to HIV for a year and a half!”
Publicist and crisis manager Howard Bragman claims he dealt with Sheen several months ago, and said:
“The interview could open up a lot of sympathy for him, but he has to be concerned about a fear of litigation from former sexual partners. You don’t take that lightly.”
The actor has largely been out of the public eye since his series Anger Management wrapped up last year.
