Charlie Sheen, claiming he’s “blacklisted” and down to his last $10 million, said in court filings he can no longer afford the $75,000 in monthly child support payments he is currently doling out to Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller.
Sheen, 52, said Hollywood will no longer hire him so he can no longer shell out the $55,000 per month he gives Mueller for his sons Bob and Max, or the $20,000 a month he gives Richards for his daughters Sam and Lola, People magazine reported.
"I have been unable to find steady work and have been blacklisted from many aspects of the entertainment industry," Sheen said, claiming he is down to his last $10 million and still owes lawyers, the IRS and a home mortgage.
Sheen will get a hearing on the matter in September.
The child support totals used to be pocket change for Sheen, who was making $1.8 million per episode at the height of his popularity starring in the hit CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men."
But Sheen was fired from the long-running and lucrative gig in 2011 after a public dispute that spilled over into the tabloids, and trashed hotels, rehab and wild public social media rants, Entertainment Weekly reported then.
Warner Bros. charged then that Sheen defaulted on his contract due to being unable to perform his duties, admitting to cocaine use; making derogatory public comments about the show; and refusing to continue on "Two and a Half Men” without "radical changes" being made, Entertainment Weekly said.
USA Today reported that Sheen and Richards, who he married in 2002, announced that they were divorcing in 2006 when she then took out a restraining order against him. TMZ reported that Sheen divorced Mueller in a messy divorce in 2011, after getting hitched in 2008.
Sheen, son of actor Martin Sheen, announced on the "Today" show in 2015 that he was HIV positive, USA Today noted.
