Charlie Sheen apologises to Kim Kardashian West

Charlie Sheen has apologised to Kim Kardashian West after branding her "a pox on the face of entertainment."

The 'Anger Management' star, who branded the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty "a pox on the face of entertainment" after accusing her of refusing to sign an autograph for a six-year-old fan, is now "really embarrassed" by his actions and posted a message asking for forgiveness on Twitter.

He wrote: "Dear Kim, my extreme bad. really embarrassed by my actions. I was already p***ed about some other c**p that had nothing to do with you. I heard a story that bothered me. wrote some trash you didn't deserve. Ever. I'm an idiot as often as I'm a genius. that day, clearly I was the former. xox"

The 49-year-old star's apology came just hours after he insisted he was standing by his earlier social media attack on the reality TV star, 34, and said she had "zero gratitude, zero awareness, zero talent, a pox on the face of entertainment she is!"

The outspoken actor lashed out at Kim after his friend claimed that she was very unpleasant to a young fan who approached her for an autograph in an empty parking lot and told her assistant: "Oh God, can you handle this."

Charlie alleged: "The assistant and dooshy got in her car and pulled out and sped past the poor little six-year-old without even a glance to the child."

A source close to Kim, who has 18-month-old daughter North with husband Kanye West, previously insisted the incident never took place and claimed she said: "I never say no to autographs, especially kids."

Charlie Sheen: Kim Kardashian West has 'zero gratitude'

Charlie Sheen has branded Kim Kardashian West "a pox on the face of entertainment" because she allegedly refused to sign an autograph for a six-year-old fan.

The 'Anger Management' actor claims the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star has "zero gratitude" for her success and stands by his attack on the 34-year-old beauty on Twitter this yesterday, in which he slammed her for allegedly refusing to sign an autograph for a six-year-old fan.

The 49-year-old actor says he actually wrote the tweet a month ago and accidentally posted it on his feed today, but insists he has no regrets even though he deleted it.

He also told gossip website TMZ.com that Kim has "zero gratitude, zero awareness, zero talent, a pox on the face of entertainment she is!"

The outspoken actor decided to lash out at Kim because he claims his friend C. Thomas Howell told him that she was very unpleasant to a young fan who approached her for an autograph in an empty parking lot and told her assistant: "Oh God, can you handle this."

In his initial rant on Twitter, Charlie wrote: "You are lucky that ANYONE cares about your gross and giggly bag of funk you dare call an a** (sic)."

But Kim disputes the incident ever took place.

A source close to the reality TV star, who has 18-month-old daughter North with husband Kanye West, said she insists: "I never say no to autographs, especially kids."
