Actor and director Burt Reynolds claims the actor “deserves” HIV because of his sex life

Last month Charlie Sheen opened up about his HIV status in an attempt to end rumours and blackmail attempts.

Since the revelation, several accusatory stories about Sheen have been documented in the media – with one website claiming that the actor sought out “transgender prostitutes” and another claiming he smoked “a crack pipe before engaging in gay oral sex”.

Now Hollywood legend, Burt Reynolds, has spoken out.

Speaking to ITV’s Loose Women, Reynolds said: “His father’s a very, very decent man and a dear friend of mine. I feel bad for him. But Charlie, I don’t feel bad for him. He’s getting what he deserves. If you’re going to misbehave like that, then they’re going to get you.”

He added: “For Charlie? No. He deserves it. He misbehaved badly, very badly. But you know, when you’re that age, it’s tough. All those things are coming at you, and it’s difficult.”
