Charlie Sheen denies shooting Kelly Preston

Charlie Sheen denies he shot former fiancée Kelly Preston in 1990, though at the time, he was believed to be responsible. Kelly left Sheen after the incident and married John Travolta the following year. Sheen is now saying Kelly shot herself. Speaking about the incident in Vancouver during his ‘My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option‘ stage show, he claimed he was in his home making coffee at the time: “I thought she was still asleep upstairs. And I heard a f*****g gunshot go off. I thought, ‘She did it, she finally f**king did it. She killed herself and they’re going to f*****g blame me.’ I come around the corner and there’s naked Kelly Preston at the top of the stairs, holding her wrist, staring at me, covered in blood and I thought, that’s pretty f*****g hot.” Sheen went on to explain that when Kelly picked up a pair of pants he’d left on the floor, a gun he’d left in one of the pockets fired a bullet into the toilet, which caused either shrapnel or a piece of porcelain to ricochet, striking Kelly’s arm. He claims to be have been “completely perplexed,” saying he “didn’t know whether to call 911 or 411.” He says people still talk “about the time I tried to kill Kelly Preston.” ~Alexandra Heilbron

    Sounds like he was stoned if he didn’t know whether to call 911 or 411 when someone’s shot.

    What kind of person leaves a gun in their pants pocket??? Definitely not a “WINNING” thing to do!

    Anything out of Mr. Sheen’s mouth is not to be believed. Having a backround in firearms use, this story is utter nonsense.

    He’s a freaking lunatic….

    I, for one, never talk about it Charlie…

    How sad.

  7. Monique • May 5, 2011 @ 4:37 PM

    Sometimes though, true IS stranger then fiction. She may have shot the toilet – who knows, I wasn’t there, so I don’t know.
    She did end up marrying a scientolgist less than a year after Charlie – so who’s the real crazy one here?? Seriously!

    “Sounds like he was stoned if he didn��t know whether to call 911 or 411 when someone��s shot.”

    411 is to find someone to fix the toilet, pure comic genius for those who can actually read through the lines

    @Gregg, pure comic genius?? Are you stoned too? That’s quite the leap. I’m with Andrea.

    Go snort some more coke Loser!

  11. Tayderhead • May 5, 2011 @ 8:54 PM

    Mean Sheen’s a violent maniac. Why would someone like him even be allowed to own a gun and why would he be carrying the thing around in his pants pockets?? Snarly Charlie should be locked up in a padded room inside a tight straight jacket.

    That is hilarious, isn’t that exactly what Phil Spector said about the woman he shot and killed? Charlie has now hit a new low. I do not believe for one minute that Kelly Preston shot herself in the arm. It is well documented that Charlie Sheen has a penchant for violence when he is drunk and all drugged up and he should keep his lying mouth shut before he finds himself in jail. Everytime he opens his mouth he incriminates himself more and more! Get some serious treatment Charlie before you do what Spector did and really kill someone and not just injure them!

    Marrying a scientologist isn’t crazy! She and John Travolta have made a very nice and very productive life together! You see or hear of them out partying and shooting people who are supposed to be a friend or g/f. I suspect that after Charlie shot her she decided the smart thing to do is get away and stay away and lucky for her she didn’t get saddled with one of his kids because then she’d never be free of him! She likely found that John was a real man scientologist or not they seem to have a rock solid marriage and life that people only dream about having and that says a lot about them living in Hollywood!!!

    He shot heroin, he shot morphin but he didn’t shoot Kelly.

  15. Cheryl • May 6, 2011 @ 11:27 PM

    Leave the guy alone. If he wasn’t a celebrity all this wouldn’t be brought up,the guys human and has flaws like we all do.

  16. Amber • May 6, 2011 @ 11:56 PM

    He’s just f***ing hilarious and this just made me laugh even more. Any type of laughter, even at the expense of say, Charlie Sheen, is WINNING for me! 🙂

  17. Jo-Anne • May 7, 2011 @ 10:09 AM

    flaws???? w o w

  18. m davis • May 8, 2011 @ 8:50 AM

    THis does seem puzzling. why would anyone find some1 covered in blood probably dripping it all over the floor, hot?

    it does seem like charlie to be the type that carries guns everywhere. so shooting a toilet isnt that far off. but marrying a scientologist? now thats crazier than their whole wacky religion.

  19. mandee • May 8, 2011 @ 3:03 PM

    maybe the part where he said “it looked hot” was actually just him trying to show off or try to make himself look better, if things went down the way he said they did, i dont doubt for one second that he was flipping out like a big baby and thats why he got the numbers confused. either way, people need to leave this poor guy alone so he can straighten out his life.

  20. Jo-Anne • May 8, 2011 @ 6:51 PM

    yeah, come on guys, he is down to one goddess…back off! haha!

  21. ernybear • May 12, 2011 @ 1:31 PM

    glad she upgraded boyfriends as she and John Travolta seem very well adjusted and happy… congrats to them and to Charlie – grow up, get cleaned – you have kids – otherwise stay a loser.

  22. TheTruth • May 13, 2011 @ 10:58 AM

    I could not be with a woman after knowing that Charlie Sheen had violated her :*( Kudos to John Travolta, it is true what they say, one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure.

    hahaha pretty funny TheTruth!
