Charlie Sheen’s tiger blood rages on, this time in the direction of ex-wife Denise Richards

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Sheen unleashed a vile attack Monday morning on ex-wife Denise Richards, the mother of his two daughters and one of his last defenders, calling the actress a “traitor and loser whore” and “dog thief” on his uber-popular Twitter feed. Now, sources very close to the former couple reveal what’s really fueling Charlie’s newfound hatred of Denise.

“Denise didn’t steal the dogs, he gave them back to her,” a close friend of Charlie’s tells me, referring to two pugs that no longer stay with the actor. “They were in horrendous shape. He doesn’t want the dogs, he wants to fight!”

True, just read what @CharlieSheen tweeted to 3 million followers this morning: “We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH-neese POOR-ards. a vile kidnapper and now dog thief. hate.”

A source tells me that the pugs were in fact Denise’s, but that after their divorce she let him keep them at his house so that when their daughters came to visit, “they would feel more at home.” But then following his infamous hotel-trashing incident in NYC, he gave the dogs back to her.

“They were in terrible shape. He could not look after himself let alone two dogs,” Charlie’s friend tells me, adding that giving back the dogs was a sort of “thank you gift” for her steadfast support of him.

Sadly, according to TMZ, one of the pugs has died since leaving Sheen’s “Sober Valley Lodge.”

During his epic run of interviews last month, Charlie called Denise “fabulous” and “smoking hot,” saying that he loves her “to death.” But I’m told his mood swung wildly after Denise rebuffed his request to allow their daughters, Sam and Lola, to be a part of a Dateline special.

“When his sons with Brooke [Mueller] were removed from his custody last month, he asked Denise to bring their daughters to tape interviews, and she said no,” my source said. “Since that, things with Charlie have been very, very ugly.”

“Once you offend him, he will go out of his way to destroy you,” the friend says.

And even with all this hatred and negativity, a source close to both Charlie and Denise stresses that the actress will continue to be civil for the sake of their kids.

“Denise doesn’t agree with his lifestyle, but has always been respectful because of the daughters,” my source contends. “She’ll always be there for Charlie, but she can’t put her kids through this.”
