As I mentioned a while back, a horrific report that Charlie Sheen had raped a then 13-year-old Corey Haim was making the rounds.
Both Corey’s mother and Corey Feldman came out to say that the allegations were untrue.
As, of course, did Charlie Sheen.
Charlie Sheen is now suing the originator of the allegations – The National Enquirer – for defamation.
Charlie Sheen is suing the National Enquirer for an article it published claiming he raped a then 13-year-old Corey Haim.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Sheen says the Enquirer article that ran on Nov. 8 claimed Sheen sodomized Haim while they were filming the movie, “Lucas” back in the 1980s. Sheen was 19 at the time. The article claimed they smoked pot and had anal sex. The article put Haim on a path of drug abuse, and an early grave.
Charlie has publicly denied the story, and in the lawsuit he points out Corey’s own mother has also denied it.
Charlie says Enquirer exec Dylan Howard has a vendetta against him. Charlie believes Howard is pissed because his publication didn’t break the story that Charlie has HIV.
He’s suing Howard and the National Enquirer for defamation and false light.
I think this DEFINITELY falls into the defamation boat. I mean – I really didn’t think Sheen’s reputation could get much worse… and then he was accused of raping a 13-year-old boy. Talk about rock bottom.
We’ll see how this all pans out.
