Charlie Sheen Paid-Off Former Lovers To Keep HIV Quiet

Charlie Sheen kept his HIV status a secret, but was forced to reveal it after some former partners threatened him with lawsuits.

Reportedly, Charlie shared his diagnosis with several trusted friends, who then spread the news like wildfire behind his back.

That led to several of Charlie’s former partners contacting him and threatening a lawsuit because they were unaware of his status when they had interaction with him. Our sources say Charlie settled several of the cases and, in return for money, got confidentiality agreements. One of the settlements occurred late last month. h/t tmz

Charlie will appear on the “Today” show where he is expected to reveal he’s HIV positive.
