The filings reportedly reveal Sheen’s reasoning behind his “dire financial crisis” with less than US$10 million to his name.
“I have been unable to find steady work, and have been blacklisted from many aspects of the entertainment industry,” he alleges in the documents. “All of this has resulted in a significant reduction in my earnings.”
