Wife Claims Charlie Sheen Sent Anti-Semitic Text

Crossposted From TMZ

Charlie Sheen sent a scathing, anti-Semitic text to Brooke Mueller about his manager, saying, “I must execute mark b [Mark Burg] like the stoopid jew pig that he is,” the actor’s estranged wife said.

Sources say Sheen sent the text last week, after firing Burg but before rehiring him.

The text was quoted in Mueller’s declaration in support of her request for a restraining order.

Sheen told TMZ he did not send the text, saying, “I busted Brooke a year ago sending text messages from my phone to family members to cause discord. Both Natalie and Rachel (aka, the goddesses) will testify they observed Brooke with my phone on that day.” Sheen added, “I have to believe the text about Mark Burg is a repeat performance.”

Burg told TMZ, “Charlie Sheen’s ex-publicist, Stan Rosenfield, is Jewish. Charlie Sheen’s entertainment attorney, Jake Bloom, is Jewish. Charlie Sheen’s litigation attorney, Marty Singer, is Jewish. Charlie Sheen’s divorce attorney, Mark Gross, is Jewish. I’ve known him for 13 years. I don’t believe that he actually sent that text.” And Burg added, “For the record, since Brooke Mueller is Jewish, that would make Charlie Sheen’s two sons also Jewish.”
