Mr. 9/11 conspiracy.

She is pretty tough playing hardball with Sheen. I would guess that she is not exaggerating. Better get it out in the open before she becomes the next Nicole Simpson.

Remember when Charlie thought he had seen an actual "snuff" film (The Flower of Flesh and Blood) and turned it into the FBI? It turned out to be fake.

http://www.damianpenny.com/archived/006155.html

"Early in 1991, a film of Asian origin rumored to contain actual snuff footage came into the possession of actor Charlie Sheen. Sheen turned it over to the FBI, quite convinced he'd stumbled onto the real thing, and heartily sickened by what he'd seen.

The film in question was Flower of Flesh and Blood, part of a series of films collectively known as "Guinea Pig." Some of the "Guinea Pig" films have at least temporarily fooled the authorities, fueling news stories about the unearthing of snuff films. It's no wonder either; the special effects are very cleverly executed. Flower of Flesh and Blood is the episode which stirs much of the controversy. It features a samurai torturing, then dismembering a captive girl until she eventually expires in front of the cameras.

It wasn't real. According to The San Francisco Chronicle:

"The FBI confiscated Sheen's tape and proceeded to investigate all involved, including Charles Balun, an early distributor of the film. Balun fiercely asserted that the film was a hoax and was merely a series of startling special effects. Propitiously, the Japanese took this time to release 'Guinea Pig Two: The Making of Guinea Pig One,' revealing the technical sleight of hand in all its bone-cracking glory. After viewing this film, the FBI backed off and dropped the investigation."

In a stunning display of bad taste, this film was shown on San Francisco's public access channel in October 1996."
