This morning on the Today Show Charlie Sheen dropped a bomb saying "I am in fact HIV positive." "It's a hard 3 letters to absorb," the veteran actor shared, saying he was diagnosed about 4 years ago after being hospitalized for cluster headaches and nightsweats, and what he thought may have been a brain tumor.

The often embattled actor said he's paid millions of dollars to blackmailers in order to keep his secret.  When asked if he's still paying those people he said, "Not after today I'm not."  We're proud of Charlie for coming to terms and sharing his reality rather than losing his children's inheritence just to ward of public shame.  For this reason, Charlie, you are still #WINNING.  Watch the highlights from Charlie's interview with Matt Lauer below.
