AceShowbiz - Amanda Bruce, a nurse who knew that Charlie Sheen was HIV positive, made a surprising confession during her appearance on "The Dr. Oz Show" on Wednesday, November 18. The nurse admitted to dating the actor for 8 months and having unprotected sex during their relationship.
"We were boyfriend girlfriend for a long time," Amanda told Dr. Oz. While she couldn't remember how many times she had sex with Charlie, she admitted that she was "there every day." She also explained that she took pre-exposure prophylaxis before they had sex to lower her risk of HIV infection.
When Dr. Oz said that having sex with Charlie was like playing Russian Roulette, Amanda claimed that it's different. "I mean, if I had met him on one night, and we had decided to engage in this, I'd say, 'That's Russian Roulette,' " she said. "The reality is, we had known each other for many months before we engaged in [sexual relations], and we were a couple, I was in love with him."
Of why she decided to engage in sexual intercourse with the HIV-positive actor, Amanda explained, "We were intimate. We weren't initially unprotected, but we became unprotected when we decided to be exclusive." She continued, "When you really love someone you want to get close to them. That was something I wanted to share with him." Following their split, the two remain close and are no longer sexually active with one another. Amanda also said that she's HIV negative.
While Amanda doesn't hold a grudge against Charlie, another ex-girlfriend Bree Olson said after he revealed his HIV positive status on "Today" show, "Charlie, you're a terrible person. I will never forgive you." Bree was particularly dismayed by the actor's decision to not reveal that he's HIV positive during their relationship.
Though Charlie's rep previously explained that Charlie was HIV negative when he's in relationship with Bree, the girl wasn't satisfied. "It would give me peace of mind for Charlie to say a date [he found out]," she told Inside Edition before saying that his interview on the show was "wishy-washy."
