Celebs That Used The N Word and Still Going Strong
Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen gets the award for the strangest use of the N-word. While arguing with then wife Denise Richards in 2005, Sheen hurled a series of insults at her, including the racial slur. Richards, though, isn’t a person of color. Apparently, Sheen wanted to put down his wife in any way possible, and the N-word surfaced from his lips. Three years later during a custody battle with Richards, a tape of Sheen’s outburst was leaked to the media. At that time, Sheen apologized for using the epithet and made a point of telling the public that the best man at his wedding is African American. The controversy didn’t hurt Sheen’s career, but legal woes the actor faces from his subsequent marriage pose a challenge.
