Thursday night’s Netflix premiere in Los Angeles wasn’t just about showcasing a new docuseries—it was about revisiting the past lives, scandals, and relationships of one of Hollywood’s most controversial stars. Charlie Sheen, now 60, stepped back into the spotlight for the debut of Aka Charlie Sheen, a two-part series that promises to lay bare the chaos of his rise, fall, and survival.
Denise Richards Joins Her Ex
Among those who turned up to support him was his ex-wife, Denise Richards.
The 54-year-old actress stunned in a glittering black crop top and silk trousers, with her blonde hair styled sleek and straight.
Richards is currently embroiled in a messy divorce from Aaron Phypers, yet she still made time to walk the red carpet with Sheen, showing a surprisingly united front.
The pair’s history is complicated. Married in 2002 and divorced in 2006, they share two daughters, Sam and Lola.
Their split in 2005 was infamous, filled with accusations of threats, violence, and reckless behavior on Sheen’s part.
Despite the bitterness, the two managed to patch things up enough for him to guest star on her reality show years later.
Heidi Fleiss Resurfaces
If Denise’s presence wasn’t enough of a surprise, another name from Sheen’s past appeared—Hollywood’s infamous madam, Heidi Fleiss.
At 59, she cut an understated figure in a black coat with tan sleeves, black pants, and flip-flops, her curls bouncing as she smiled for cameras.
Her appearance signaled that the decades-old tension with Sheen was water under the bridge.
Back in 1995, Sheen testified at her trial, admitting to spending more than $53,000 on escorts from her services.
Fleiss later served 20 months in prison for tax evasion, though she was originally sentenced to seven years.
She didn’t shy away from the drama in the docuseries trailer, calling Sheen a “crybaby” and reminding viewers that his testimony helped send her to jail.
Still, her attendance at the premiere hinted at a strange sense of loyalty to her former client.
Charlie’s Look for the Big Night
Sheen kept his style classic and low-key—dark grey jacket, white button-up shirt, dark jeans, and sneakers.
He happily posed for photos with Denise Richards, and his appearance alongside his ex suggested a softer, more reflective version of the once wild “bad boy” actor.
The Docuseries: Nothing Left Untold
Directed by Andrew Renzi, Aka Charlie Sheen is set to premiere on Netflix September 10.
The series doesn’t hold back, diving into his addictions, explosive career downfall, and the shame that consumed him. In the trailer, Sheen admits: “Shame is suffocating.
I lit the fuse, you know, and my life turns into everything it wasn’t supposed to be.”
Sheen even confesses that much of what he’s sharing was material he had once sworn would only ever be told to a therapist.
Famous Voices From His Past
The documentary includes a wide range of people who’ve played a role in Sheen’s life—whether as family, colleagues, or sources of turmoil.
Viewers will hear from Denise Richards, third ex-wife Brooke Mueller, childhood friend Sean Penn, Two and a Half Men showrunner Chuck Lorre, co-star Jon Cryer, Money Talks co-star Chris Tucker, and his brother Ramón Estévez.
Perhaps most shocking of all, Sheen’s former drug dealer Marco appears, confirming Sheen’s infamous crack cocaine binges.
A Life of Scandal Now Told in His Own Words
Sheen’s career was once one of Hollywood’s brightest stories, before spiraling into addiction, controversy, and a dramatic firing from Two and a Half Men—where he earned a staggering $1.8 million per episode.
His label as a “tabloid black hole” stuck for years, but this new series marks a chance for him to reclaim his story.
For fans, Aka Charlie Sheen is more than a behind-the-scenes look—it’s a reminder of how fame, excess, and personal demons collided in one of Hollywood’s most unforgettable cautionary tales.
