Speculations were rife that Charlie Sheen is going to make a “revealing personal announcement” on Today show.
Charlie started trending worldwide when news started leaking that he’s going to confirm about being HIV positive for years.
In an exclusive, live interview with Matt Lauer, he finally said, “I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV-positive”

And guess what, he paid millions of dollars as extortion money to hide his secret from spilling out

According to reports, he might have spent as much as $10 milion to buy this silence.
“Are you still paying these people?” Lauer asked him.
“Not after today, I’m not.” Sheen said.
Now that the secret is out, the extortion might stop but there might be lawsuits coming his way.
