One of Lindsay Lohan’s struggles with the law was the amount of money she owed to the IRS. According to Forbes, “The Parent Trap” actor owed “nearly a quarter of a million dollars” for her taxes in 2009 and 2010. Apparently, the debt had gotten so large that Lohan’s bank accounts were even seized. The large sum she owed was high, but Charlie Sheen was willing to help.

In 2012, E! News revealed that Sheen had given Lohan $100,000 toward her debt. The actor’s rep shared, “[Sheen] has a long history of helping out his friends in many ways, and this is just another example of that.” The “Two and a Half Men” star later confirmed the news to CNN and clarified it wasn’t just for taxes. Sheen joked, “I thought I was going to get it back.” He then explained the crew on “Scary Movie 5” was willing to give him a large payout, but not Lohan. He continued, “They said we want to hire Lindsay to make the scene more epic, but we want to give her half of what we gave you, we need to take it back … they shorted her 100 on what I thought they were going to, so I made up the difference. That’s all it was. And then she went public and talked about the tax debt.” Whatever the reason behind giving Lohan $100K, it was still incredibly generous, and she had to be grateful.
