During an appearance on ITV’s Loose Women, screen star Burt Reynolds decided to give the world a taste of attitudes that should have long since disappeared, suggesting HIV is a punishment for bad behaviour, for Charlie Sheen at least.
Reynolds said, “His father [Martin Sheen] is a very, very decent man and a dear friend of mine, I feel bad for him. For Charlie, I don’t feel bad for him. He’s getting what he deserves… He misbehaved badly. Very badly.”
“If you’re going to misbehave like that,” he continued, “then they’re going to get you.”
The actor didn’t say who ‘they’re’ is, or indeed eactly what he thinks Sheen did that was particularly bad. It seemed especially ‘pot calling kettle black’ as Burt was on the show to talk about his memoirs that deal with his own ‘misbehaving’ and his long battle with drug addiction.
Reynolds also added of Sheen’s revealing his HIV status that, “He’s handled it badly, I think.” Although didn’t bother to say how he’s handled it badly, or whether he was suggesting he should have just kept quiet about it.
