Capri Anderson, Charlie Sheen's Porn-Star Gal Pal: Where Is She Now?

Capri Anderson was just one of a host of people who momentarily grabbed the spotlight in 2010 and dominated a news cycle or two while getting their 15 minutes of fame. In this series, AOL News is checking in on 25 of these newsmakers and giving them a 16th minute.


In this publicity image released by ABC, Capri Anderson, the woman who was found locked in a bathroom of actor Charlie Sheen's hotel room on Oct. 25, 2010 is shown during an interview on 'Good Morning America,' on Monday, Nov. 22, 2010, in New York.

Capri Anderson has said she plans to file a lawsuit accusing Charlie Sheen of battery and false imprisonment.
Capri Anderson Made News in 2010 When She: Was discovered locked in the bathroom of the New York City Plaza Hotel in October as actor Charlie Sheen went on a drunken, drugged-up rampage outside the door.

The Full Story: Anderson, who also goes by Alexis Capri and was originally named Christina Walsh, is no stranger to the spotlight. She's an adult-film star. But the exposure she got after Oct. 25 was a little more than even this exhibitionist is used to. That was the night that police discovered her locked in the bathroom of the Plaza Hotel's Eloise Suite (in a very un-Eloise-like scenario), as Sheen was in the midst of a drunken, drugged meltdown. Sheen has a long history of hard partying and keeping scandalous company, but his behavior in October was beyond the pale. The story that emerged, based on Anderson's account, was that the "Platoon" star went to dinner with friends, including Anderson (his paid escort companion for the evening), as well as his ex-wife, Denise Richards. Sheen drank quite a bit and took multiple bathroom breaks, where he allegedly snorted a lot of cocaine and ended up naked in an unsuccessful attempt to have sex with Anderson in the restroom. Richards was so upset that she left before her appetizer arrived. The party then moved to Sheen's hotel room (just down the hall from the one shared by Richards and their two young daughters). That's when, if the porn star's account is to be believed, things really got out of hand. Sheen accused Anderson of stealing his watch and then proceeded to go on a rampage, smashing furniture and screaming curses at his date. Hotel guests down the hall called security when they heard screaming coming from the room. Sheen blamed his erratic behavior on an "adverse reaction to medication."

What's Happened Since?: Unsurprisingly, the publicity hasn't damaged Anderson's career. She still has her own website (so NSFW we won't even link to it). E Online reported that Anderson was spotted in a situation resembling that of an escort at a Las Vegas hotel in early December. As far as Anderson's relationship with Sheen, the "Two and a Half Men" star is filing a civil lawsuit alleging that Anderson tried to extort $1 million from him and stole a $165,000 watch. Police decided this month not to file criminal charges against Sheen in the incident, but Anderson has said she will sue the actor for battery and false imprisonment. Meanwhile, she's also working on developing her personal brand.


In Her Own Words: Anderson gave an interview to ABC's "Good Morning America" in late November. She described the hotel-room scene in detail to George Stephanopoulos. "It wasn't until he put his hands around my neck that I really thought to myself, 'You have gotten yourself in a bad situation,' " she said.
