Tori Spelling says she refused to hide Charlie Sheen from U.S. Marshals, recounts 1990s date and party
Spelling describes a tense moment with a mutual friend, a crack-pipe offer, and her decision not to aid in hiding a man pursued by authorities.
On her misSPELLING podcast, Tori Spelling says she refused to hide Charlie Sheen from U.S. Marshals after a mutual friend urged her to help. Spelling noted that the moment occurred during a period when Sheen was part of their social circle, and that the request came from a friend named Kevin who was trying to set them up for a date.
She recalled being nervous and bringing along Kevin and his parents to the gathering. Sheen, she said, was described as “unimaginably intelligent” and “charming, smart, funny, witty” during the brief window they dated in the 1990s. Spelling said the Wilshire-area condo where they lived felt like a constant party, a scene she described as dark and cluttered with activity.
When Kevin asked if Sheen could stay with Spelling while he was wanted by the U.S. Marshals, she described being in her laundry room as Kevin asked, “Can we hide Charlie?” Spelling said she understood the risk but could not go through with it. “Are you f------ kidding me? No, I’m not doing that,” she recalled telling him. Kevin pressed, telling her, “They’re gonna arrest him. They’re gonna take him away.” Spelling said she insisted she liked Sheen but could not participate in anything that might make her an accomplice.
Sheen mentioned this moment in his memoir, The Book of Sheen, according to People. The passage, as summarized by coverage of the book, includes an idea that Spelling’s response was measured by concern for the consequences of helping someone who was already under intense scrutiny.
Spelling and Sheen dated briefly in the 1990s but did not pursue a long relationship. He later married model Donna Peele in 1995, before marrying actress Denise Richards in 2002; the couple had two daughters and divorced in 2006. He then married Brooke Mueller in 2008, with whom he shares twins; the pair separated in 2011. These snapshots form part of the broader arc of Sheen’s high-profile life through the early 2000s.
The account provided by Spelling offers a look at a celebrity social circle in the era, including moments when the line between personal relationships and public crises could blur. Spelling’s reflections come as Sheen’s memoir continues to draw attention for its descriptions of his private life during a period marked by legal and personal turmoil. TheFox News Digital report, based on statements from Spelling and references to Sheen’s memoir, frames the incident as one small but telling vignette in a complex decade for both performers.
