Sami Sheen recently revealed that she had no knowledge of being the reason behind her father Charlie Sheen’s decision to embrace sobriety. This revelation coincided with the launch of Charlie’s new documentary, aka Charlie Sheen, which premiered on Netflix this week.
In the documentary and his memoir, The Book of Sheen, Charlie, aged 60, shared that a conversation with his eldest daughter, Sami, played a pivotal role in his commitment to quitting alcohol and drugs for good. Recalling an incident in 2017 when he had to ask a friend to pick up Sami after having three whiskey coffees, Charlie explained that Sami’s silent reaction made him realize the impact his behavior had on her. This realization led him to swear off alcohol and drugs permanently.
Sami, now a 21-year-old OnlyFans model who no longer communicates with Charlie, expressed her surprise at being the catalyst for his sobriety in a TikTok video where she appeared emotional, with somber music in the background. She wrote in the video caption that she was unaware of her role in his journey to sobriety and praised the documentary.
Charlie had previously mentioned his confusion regarding Sami’s decision to cut off communication with him. Sami had shared earlier that she stopped speaking to her father after he failed to check on her following a medical procedure.
In a recent interview on Good Morning America, Charlie expressed hope for reconciliation with Sami, acknowledging the importance of their shared history. He also highlighted the strengthened bonds he has developed with his other children, including Lola, 20, with Denise Richards, 16-year-old twins Max and Bob with Brooke Mueller, and 40-year-old daughter Cassandra Estevez from a previous relationship.
Charlie emphasized that his relationships with his children are separate from his professional life. He revealed that he has been drug-free since 2015, the same year he disclosed his HIV diagnosis. Since giving up alcohol in 2017, he has maintained sobriety, marking eight years of being sober this year.
