Charlie Sheen's Ex Natalie Kenly Defends Him: 'He is Not a Monster'

Charlie Sheen‘s ex-girlfriend Natalie Kenly, known as a member of his “goddess” posse, is coming to his defense in the wake of the actor’s HIV diagnosis.

The 29-year-old says that she does not think Charlie was recklessly promiscuous.

“He is not a monster,” Natalie told People. “He has regard for human beings and cares about people. I do not see him knowingly putting women at risk.”

The news that Charlie is HIV positive has been met by critics who are slamming him for having sexual relationships with women after he was diagnosed.

“That’s not who he is,” Natalie said. “He’s got young kids. He’s also not an idiot and I don’t see him opening himself up to that legal nightmare.”

“He’s a good man and I feel very fortunate to have spent the time with him that I did, and I’m so sad to hear of his health troubles,” Natalie added. “I hope he’s okay.”

Bree Olson, who was one of the other goddesses, has also spoken out about the news.
