Charlie Sheen apologises for voicemail

Charlie Sheen has apologised for using 'the n word' in an abusive voicemail message he left for ex-wife Denise Richards.

Charlie Sheen has apologised for using 'the n word' in a 2005 voicemail he left for ex-wife Denise Richards. In the message, which recently leaked briefly on to the internet, Sheen was heard using the word and also telling his ex he hoped she "rots in f****** hell". "I deeply apologise by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings," Charlie said in a statement. "And for the record, my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation. So three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voicemail continue to be manifested on a daily basis." Denise also commented on the message. "It is what it is and this is something that I've been dealing with for a long time. I imagine that the public is bored and sick and tired of hearing about Charlie and Denise and our public custody and divorce battle." Oh contraire!
