No Alcoholics Anonymous or Betty Ford Center for Two-and-a-Half Men’s Charlie Sheen. He’s hired a coach. A sobriety coach.
The move came in response to Sheen’s early-morning Oct. 26 hospitalization, following an incident in which Sheen allegedly trashed the New York Plaza Hotel room he was sharing with a porn star. Apparently, the hospitalization came following a night of sex, drugs and rock and roll. Hotel sources reported furniture throwing also was a part of Sheen’s evening activities.
According to TMZ, a 911 call was made from Sheen’s hotel room early Tuesday morning for possible intoxication. The Two and a Half Men star was then taken to a NYC hospital at 2:30 a.m. voluntarily.
At the time, Sheen’s spokesman said it all due to allergies. “What we are able to determine is that Charlie had an adverse allergic reaction to some medication and was taken to the hospital,” according to Stan Rosenfield.
Jeff Rossen told Matt Lauer on the Today Show that the sober coach will go everywhere with Sheen, the highest-paid actor on television, and also will live with Sheen.
Sheen’s troubles are far from over, however. Capri Anderson, the porn star who claimed she locked herself in the bathroom when the furniture took flight, so to speak, is considering a lawsuit.
Anderson, 22, said that she was made "extremely afraid" by Sheen's erratic behavior, and locked herself in the bathroom for protection. It was Anderson who called hotel security to Sheen's trashed suite, where the star was later met by police.
