Sheen Confronts Past Rudeness
In a surprising moment on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, Charlie Sheen took the opportunity to make amends with host Dax Shepard for a past transgression that had weighed on him for over 20 years. “There’s something I’ve been carrying around. I was a dick to you one night. Not cool,” Sheen admitted, shocking a confused Shepard who couldn’t recall the event.
The “Inappropriate” Halloween Encounter
Sheen detailed an incident from the early 2000s where he was in a “pissy mood” complaining about celebrating Halloween with young children. When Shepard shared his own, more positive Halloween experience, Sheen snapped. “In the middle, I said, ‘Try it with f–king kids, dude!'” Sheen recounted. “And it was so inappropriate and unnecessary and uncalled for. So 20 years later, apologies.”
A Discussion on Recovery and Forgiveness
Shepard graciously accepted the apology, noting it was “no problem.” The moment led to a broader conversation about their shared experiences with substance abuse recovery and the process of making amends. Shepard shared that, more often than not, the people he apologized to didn’t even remember the offense. “I do think that’s an interesting part of making amends,” Shepard reflected. “You’ve built up a lot of it in your mind that isn’t really there. It’s just, you’re holding it. They weren’t.” Sheen expressed his relief at finally clearing the air, something he’d planned to do as soon as the podcast appearance was booked.
