ykstra appears most solemn when<br />
discussing the summer 2012 death of<br />
Rick Calamaro, Sheen’s recently fired<br />
assistant, as well as the alleged violence<br />
perpetrated against Sheen’s ex-fiancee,<br />
Scottine “Brett” Rossi.<br />
L.A. native Calamaro — known for his years<br />
as the phone-glued-to-his-ear partner at<br />
A-list velvet rope clubs like Holly’s and Ivar —<br />
was discovered July 1 by his maid, lying face<br />
up in his bed beside a bottle of Jack Daniel’s,<br />
in his longtime Fairfax district apartment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> autopsy report listed “very high” levels of<br />
Fentanyl, the powerful opioid, and noted that<br />
Calamaro, 50, had suffered from depression<br />
and had been taking a mixture of prescription<br />
medication for pain and anxiety. “Based on<br />
the history and circumstances, as currently<br />
“ I have her in my car,<br />
driving to Cedars, flying<br />
down the 405, shaking<br />
her: ‘Don’t die on me!’”<br />
known,” the autopsy concluded, “the manner<br />
of death is accident.”<br />
Calamaro extended his gatekeeping instinct<br />
at times to Sheen’s social circle, eventually<br />
earning the enmity of Dykstra, who grew convinced<br />
that Calamaro was working on a tell-all.<br />
“Before I went [to jail], I said, ‘Dude, this guy, he<br />
is writing a fucking book, you got to fire him,’ ”<br />
recalls Dykstra (while freely admitting he<br />
himself later served as an unnamed source for<br />
the Enquirer).<br />
After he got out of jail, says Dykstra, he asked<br />
Sheen, “What the fuck happened to Calamaro?”<br />
who had overdosed while Dykstra was in<br />
prison. “He said, ‘You mean Dead Rick? What<br />
fucking happened is the motherfucker tried<br />
to blackmail me just like you said — wanted<br />
$5 million. I had him fucking iced.’ He said he<br />
had a hot dose put in there,” using slang for a<br />
lethal intravenous injection prepared for an<br />
unsuspecting victim. (Dykstra again offers no<br />
proof his recollection is accurate, and Sheen’s<br />
current lawyer, Shane Bernard, issued a denial<br />
of the allegations, noting Dykstra’s “laundry<br />
list of crimes” and asserting that his “disturbing,<br />
vile and outright ridiculous claims” are<br />
unreliable.)<br />
Sheen’s close friend, Tony Todd, who lived<br />
with the actor during this period and has<br />
known him since the two attended Santa<br />
Monica High School, laughingly scoffs at the<br />
charge, adding that even if Sheen were to<br />
have done such a thing, “Charlie’s not going<br />
to tell it to Lenny Dykstra!”<br />
Rossi says that while she is unaware of such<br />
an admission pertaining to Calamaro specifically,<br />
it’s certainly possible given her own<br />
history with the actor, which she outlined<br />
in a 2015 lawsuit. According to her filing,<br />
Sheen said “he wanted to murder people that<br />
he was angry with.” <strong>The</strong> suit also refers to<br />
a “hit” Sheen allegedly took out on Rossi’s<br />
ex-husband. <strong>The</strong> following year, she obtained<br />
a restraining order against Sheen after the<br />
LAPD began investigating an alleged recording<br />
in which he threatened to pay someone<br />
$20,000 to “kick her head in.”<br />
Since Sheen himself won’t comment, the<br />
likelihood of another scenario — that the star,<br />
while high, simply made a distasteful joke<br />
about having Calamaro killed — is unclear.<br />
Dykstra has a complicated relationship with<br />
Rossi, a porn star who says she met Sheen on<br />
a $10,000 escort date. Early on, as a favor to<br />
Sheen, Dykstra hired “an Armenian buddy to<br />
follow [Rossi] for a few days” to confirm she<br />
wasn’t cheating on him. (Dykstra says he used<br />
to hire private eyes to dig up dirt on umpires,<br />
noting “it wasn’t a coincidence” that he led the<br />
league in walks in 1993.) Dykstra eventually<br />
became Rossi’s confidant, and she divulged<br />
details of Sheen’s sexual kinks. Rossi tells THR:<br />
“He would look at transsexual porn when he<br />
was high and [ask her], ‘Which one is hot?’ ”<br />
Dykstra claims to have seen further proof of<br />
Sheen’s lifestyle. He says that attorney Keith<br />
Davidson, recently in the news for orchestrating<br />
porn actress Stormy Daniels’ alleged $130,000<br />
payment to stay quiet about a 2006 affair with<br />
President Trump, showed him a copy of the<br />
tape that media outlets have reported was circulating<br />
in which Sheen participated in gay<br />
sex. (Over email, Davidson asserts, “This just<br />
never happened.”)<br />
Rossi confirms that once Sheen kicked<br />
her out, it was Dykstra who helped her free up<br />
money by selling off her pricey gifted watch<br />
collection to underground buyers and listened<br />
Dykstra, who last played in the majors in 1986, once served three years for indecent exposure, grand theft auto and filing false financial statements.<br />
