Charlie Sheen's Nanny Diaries

Charlie Sheen's recent day at the beach was no walk in the park, thanks to the presence of a court-ordered interloper.

The Two and a Half Men star has made it clear he was less than pleased to have Denise Richards' assistant tagging along last weekend during the time he and fiancée Brooke Mueller were allotted with his children.

"Here is my and Brooke's weekend with [daughters Sam and Lola] being sullied by one of her spies," Sheen told People at an event hosted by Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy in Malibu on Saturday.

Richards allegedly dispatched her assistant to monitor Sheen with the couple's daughters "because a real nanny was unavailable," the actor said.

Earlier this month, Sheen filed court documents seeking to amend the terms of the ex-couple's shared custody of Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, including that he be permitted to hire his own childcare provider.

The actor is currently unable to see his daughters unless they are accompanied by two Richards-approved nannies, and only Richards is allowed to select suitable replacements should either be unavailable for a visit.

And as far as Sheen's concerned, his ex-wife's assistant does not qualify as a suitable replacement.

"Until I'm granted the ability to hire my own nanny, she is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she felt her 'assistant' was a suitable replacement," the actor said in a statement released by his publicist, Stan Rosenfield, on Monday.

"If it's unfortunate that I'm speaking, it's 'unfortunate' that an incredibly loving and responsible father and his terrifically capable fiancée are being subjected to these transparent and unnecessary sanctions, that have nothing to do with responsible co-parenting and everything to do with punishment and control.

"As long as I am forced to live under these conditions with my children, people are going to hear about it."

In the court documents he filed earlier this month, Sheen sought to increase his visitation rights with his daughters from alternate weekends to the first, third and fifth weekends of each month.

He also requested a court order barring Richards from calling his home when the children are with him, claiming in his court documents that the actress "has repeatedly made unnecessary telephone calls to me and to my home. These calls have resulted in disputes between us."

Despite the bad blood between the couple, Sheen claims that Richards wants him to father another child with her, revealing in an interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this month that "there was a request for a [sperm] donation."

He said he had no qualms about how to respond to the request.

"I would sooner, in exactly what I'm wearing, walk on the surface of the moon."
