Charlie Sheen Countersues Porn Star for ‘Shakedown,’ Calls Her ‘Scam Artist’

Posted on | November 22, 2010 | 6 Comments

Hey, can I spot the hot stories or what?

Charlie Sheen filed a lawsuit Monday for extortion and two other counts against the porn star who claims he tried to choke her during a bizarre meltdown in a New York hotel last month.
In the lawsuit . . . Sheen alleges that Christina Walsh, aka Capri Anderson, demanded $1 million from the Two and a Half Men star to keep quiet. The suit also alleges that Walsh works as a prostitute.
Sheen’s lawsuit was filed by L.A. power attorney Marty Singer and says Walsh engaged in “an attempted shakedown and extortion of the internationally known actor and celebrity Charlie Sheen.”
She is described as “an opportunistic pornographic film star and publicity hungry scam artist”.

Best quotes from the court filing (PDF):

After a consensual encounter . . . Walsh decided that this was her chance to become rich and famous. To that end, she fabricated a story about being assaulted, battered and held against her will. . . .
Walsh, a young and relatively unknown pornographic film actor . . . has an unrelenting desire and goal to be wealthy and to appear on television and achieve her fifteen minutes of fame. . . .
Shortly after they had gotten into the room [at the Plaza Hotel], Sheen discovered that a very expensive Patek Philippe watch which he had purchased in May 2010 for $165,000 was missing. Sheen asked Walsh to return the watch, and when Walsh refused and falsely denied she had taken the watch, Sheen became extremely upset.

(Via TweetDrudge.) So this guy with the $165,000 watch (allegedly) decided it was a smart idea to hire this “young and relatively unknown” woman as his dinner date for $3,500 and bring her up to his hotel room for a “consensual encounter.” And when the situation spins out of control, Mr. Patek Philippe hires a big-shot lawyer to bully her into shutting up.

Exit Questions: If Charlie was so sure this chick stole his watch, why didn’t he report the theft to the cops when they showed up at his hotel room? Does Charlie expect the court to uphold his right to commit a crime — e.g., solicitation of prostitution — without risk of embarrassment?
