Charlie Sheen’s Shocking Memoir: A 1987 Allegation Involving Bill Clinton and Dolly Fox
Hollywood icon Charlie Sheen, 60, is generating buzz with candid revelations from his recently released memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” which debuted on September 9. Among the many star-studded anecdotes, Sheen details a surprising alleged encounter from the late 1980s involving none other than former U.S. President Bill Clinton, then the governor of Arkansas.
According to Sheen, Clinton purportedly attempted to “make a move on” his then-girlfriend, Dolly Fox, during a film shoot in 1987. This intriguing claim is among the many highlights of his new book.
The Alleged Incident in Arkansas
The alleged incident unfolded in 1987 while Sheen was in Arkansas filming the movie “Three for the Road.” During his stay, Clinton extended an invitation to Sheen and his co-stars, Alan Ruck and Kerri Green, for a photo opportunity at the Governor’s residence. Sheen, reflecting on the invite in his book, described it as “pretty surreal” and decided to bring Fox along to the gathering.
It was during this event that the pivotal moment allegedly occurred. While Sheen was engaging with a reporter, his co-star Alan Ruck reportedly overheard Governor Clinton whisper a directive to one of his aides: “Find out what you can about the brunette.” Sheen explicitly identifies “the brunette” as Dolly Fox, adding that Ruck “to this day swears it was an exact quote.”
Sheen’s Mixed Emotions and the Lewinsky Parallel
Sheen recalls feeling a mix of emotions regarding the alleged comment. He expressed discomfort, stating he “felt bad for Dolly to be objectified and skeeved-out like that.” Yet, he also admitted to a peculiar sense of “pride in ‘Bubba’ fancying my gal.” Ruck later informed Fox of the overheard remark at a bar that same evening, to which she reportedly “laughed and was actually flattered.”
In his memoir, Sheen draws a direct parallel between this alleged behavior and the events that would later define Clinton’s presidency, writing that it was “behavior that transformed a harmless intern a few years later into a household name,” a clear reference to the notorious Monica Lewinsky scandal and Clinton’s 1999 impeachment hearing.
A Story Told in Rehab, Met with Skepticism
Years after the alleged encounter, Sheen found himself in rehab, watching the 1999 impeachment proceedings unfold on television. Inspired by the public drama surrounding Clinton, Sheen decided to share his 1987 story with his fellow patients. However, his account was met with skepticism. “I was still pretty faded on detox meds and no one believed me,” Sheen wrote. This disbelief spurred a defiant declaration from the actor: “I literally said out loud to the group huddled around the TV, ‘It’s kool, I’ll put it in a book one day and you can all go f— yourselves.’ (And here we are).”
“The Book of Sheen”: A Deep Dive into a Hollywood Life
“The Book of Sheen” offers readers a comprehensive look into the actor’s life, from his extensive career and battle with sobriety to his various romantic relationships. Beyond the Clinton anecdote, the memoir features a constellation of celebrity mentions, including Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, and O.J. Simpson, promising a deeper dive into the world of one of Hollywood’s most candid figures. Representatives for Bill Clinton and Alan Ruck have been reached out to for comment regarding Sheen’s allegation.
