Sami Sheen called her dad's documentary a '10/10' one.

She also noted it was a “10/10 documentary,” encouraging her fans to go watch it.

In April, Sami revealed why she hadn’t spoken to Charlie in a year, including a clip of his viral 2011 20/20 interview in which he downplayed his substance abuse.

She also addressed their relationship in an April episode of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, saying she would “rather do literally anything else than go to lunch” with Charlie. “It goes in very big chunks with him,” she continued. “I think for the first 13 years of my life it was pretty bad, and then we were OK for a couple years, and now it’s just like, OK.”

Charlie Sheen said Sami Sheen was his 'first harvest' to get sober.

In his book, The Book of Sheen, Charlie wrote about Sami inspiring him to get clean after she called him to pick her up at 9 a.m. on December 10, 2017. He had already had three coffees with whiskey, leaving him unable to drive. He ended up calling a friend to get her.

“Sam was very quiet,” he wrote. “I didn’t need to be clairvoyant to know exactly what she was thinking.”

He noted his daughter was probably thinking why he wasn’t driving again.

“Why isn’t it just the two of us in the car like it used to be? When will that moment ever return? When will Dad ever return? I miss him,” he continued.

He insisted the only thing worse than letting himself down was “failing [his] children.”

“I knew exactly what had to be done,” he shared on getting sober. “Sam wasn’t my final straw; she was my first harvest.”

The day after the ordeal, he said he took “two Valiums,” had “three beers” and was sober ever since.

Charlie Sheen claimed it was 'liberating' to talk about his trysts with men.

Aside from addressing his sobriety, Charlie also addressed his sexuality, noting he had encounters with men.

“I flipped the menu over,” he shared in his book, noting it was “f------ liberating” to “talk about this stuff” in the documentary.

“It's like a train didn't come through the side of the restaurant. A f------ piano didn't fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me," he stated.

As for what made him start doing things with men, Charlie said it was when he started smoking crack cocaine.

Charlie Sheen paid people to stay quiet about him sleeping with men.

"That's what started it," he dished to Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan in a September 5 interview. “That's where it was born, or sparked. And in whatever chunks of time that I was off the pipe, trying to navigate that, trying to come to terms with it — 'Where did that come from? Why did that happen?’ — and then just finally being like, 'So what?'”

“Some of it was weird,” he added. “A lot of it was f------ fun, and life goes on.”

Charlie also revealed people tried threatening to expose him for sleeping with men and he paid them off to be quiet.

After feeling “held hostage” for years, he finally decided to bite the bullet and open up about everything.

“I just need to be free of that,” he said. “And then see how the world feels if people know that stuff. Because I've written a story all these years about, 'Oh jeez, if I ever reveal that, then this has to be how I'd be dealt with, how I'd be treated, how they'd feel.'"
