Radar also reported that Charlie hid his status from many of his sexual partners over the past four years, including “goddess” Bree Olson. “He lied to me about having HIV the entire time we were together,” she told Inside Edition. However, he admitted on the Today show to having sex with only two people unprotected.

“I was like, ‘Wait a second, if I have to be upfront about a herpe, how could you not be upfront about HIV?'” she said. “I look back and I’m like, ‘OK, that would have been some valuable information.’ I mean, look how many people have played his love interest on the show.”
