Charlie Sheen has apologized for a voice mail he left for his ex-wife Denise Richards three years ago which she has made public according to Us magazine.

Apparently, the message he left was filled with hateful, vulgar, and racist language, using the words “f**king c**t” and “f**king n****r.” Yikes!

While there is no excuse for someone to leave such an awful message like that to anyone, especially the mother of your children, it’s suspicious that Denise would save that message. What if her children had found the tape and heard it themselves?

In response, the Hollywood star of the hit TV comedy show Two and a Half Mensaid in a statement released Wednesday:

“I deeply apologize 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.”

Sheen added to explain that:

“three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis” because “my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation.”

It must be really frustrating to deal with someone like Denise, but it’s evident that Charlie’s temper is scary.
