Los Angeles police have confirmed Charlie Sheen is under investigation, amid reports the actor threatened his ex-fiancee.
The former ‘Two and a Half Men’ star was recorded saying Brett Rossi “needs to be f****** buried”, according to ‘Radar Online’ and the ‘National Enquirer’.
LAPD said in a statement its officers had responded last Thursday morning “to a criminal investigation where Charlie Sheen was listed as suspect”.
The police department did not name the victim, but said “LAPD threat management detectives” were on the case.
Ms Rossi filed a $5m lawsuit last year accusing Sheen, 50, of assault and of failing to tell her he had HIV until after they had unprotected sex, reports Sky News.
According to ‘Radar Online’, a New York-based gossip website, Sheen’s alleged threat emerged in a 35-minute audio tape.
Referring to porn actress Ms Rossi, Sheen reportedly told another former lover in a recording: ”This piece of s*** needs to be f****** buried.
