from www.abcnews.go.com – Actor Charlie Sheen may be downplaying what police described as an alcohol-fueled rampage in a New York hotel, but the mystery woman who was with him reportedly felt “threatened.”

The “Two and a Half Men” actor was just days away from finishing his probation on an assault conviction involving his wife when authorities were called to the famed Plaza Hotel, reportedly after the woman – who police sources have identified as a porn actress — called hotel security for help.

Police sources told ABC News that the actress is 22-year-old Christina Walsh. TMZ reported that the porn star, who works under the stage name Capri Anderson, locked herself in the bathroom, fearing for her safety.

After police responded to the Plaza, Sheen, who was on a family vacation with ex-wife Denise Richards and their two daughters, was taken to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. He then flew home to Los Angeles.

But Sheen, who continues to explosively contribute to his bad-boy image, has said that all was well.

“Oh my man, I’m fine,” he told RadarOnline.com’s senior executive editor Dylan Howard via text message Tuesday night. “The story is totally overblown and overplayed as far as the reality of the scenario.”

Sheen’s wife Brooke Mueller, who called 911 last year after she said Sheen pulled a knife on her, was asked by TMZ if she was worried about her husband spending time with their young twin boys.

“Oh no, no, no,” she responded. “Charlie’s going to be just fine.”

The support for Sheen, from the public and the women in his life, baffles some. While other celebrities have seen scandals cause their downfall — see Mel Gibson and Tiger Woods — Sheen’s fans remain enthusiastic.

On the “Two and a Half Men” Facebook page, fans wrote in after the incident with supportive posts such as: “I think it adds to his character” and “Go Charlie!”

“This has happened so many times that it’s, ‘There goes that Charlie again,” said Bonnie Fuller, editor of HollywoodLife.com.

She pointed to Sheen’s television character — also named Charlie — who is loved despite his hard-partying, womanizer ways.

“It’s a blur,” she said. “The two Charlies. They blend.”

Entertainment Weekly’s Dalton Ross agreed.

“Why does the public seem to be slightly more forgiving of Charlie Sheen and his antics?” he asked. “They’re certainly not condoning it, but they seem accepting of it in a weird way. They’re used to seeing him on screen playing these characters that are out drinking and out with women and stuff.”

Multiple reports claim Sheen was on a cocaine and alcohol binge before his Tuesday morning hospitalization and will be heading back to rehab shortly. Sheen’s publicist refused to confirm those reports, telling ABCNews.com, “I do not comment on speculation.”

Sheen was found drunk and screaming that he thought he’d lost his wallet, sources said.

But Sheen’s publicist offered a much different version of what led the actor to the hospital, saying that “Charlie had an adverse allergic reaction to some medication.”

But does an allergic reaction usually prompt a rampage? TMZ.com has obtained photos from the hotel that showed Sheen’s room in disarray with a rumpled bed and what appears to be a broken chair. Sheen has reportedly offered to pay for $7,000 worth of damage to the hotel room.

There have been no charges filed against the actor for the Plaza incident, and representatives from the hotel did not immediately respond to ABCNews.com’s requests for comment.

Despite his troubles, Sheen is still the highest paid actor on television.

But attorney Gloria Allred accused authorities of pandering to Sheen’s Hollywood status instead of punishing his bad-boy behavior.

“The court system has not treated him and given him the serious consequences he deserves, given his conduct,” she told “Good Morning America,” pointing to his sentence of probation after admitting he assaulted Mueller.

“I think Charlie Sheen got a sentence in a theater of the absurd,” she said. “He should have gone to jail.”

CBS, which airs “Two and a Half Men,” has yet to comment on the Plaza Hotel incident, but publicist Howard Bragman said Sheen is likely getting pressure from network brass to get himself under control.

Tuesday night, Richards, the mother of two of Sheen’s daughters, told Joy Behar that she knew the details of what happened in his hotel room, but declined to disclose them.

Richards said on “The Joy Behar Show” that she “did help him at the hospital” after the incident, but did not want to say what she knew out of concern for her relationship with Sheen and the welfare of their daughters, Sam, 6, and Lola, 5.

“They’re at an age when they can start to understand,” Richards told Behar. “They have no idea what went on and … our stuff happened when they were much younger, which I’m so grateful for. We’re in an amazing place. We’ve been getting along great for the last year, year and a half.

“As far as that situation, I’m trying to protect the girls from it as much as possible,” Richards said.

“I’d rather leave that for Charlie to discuss,” she added. “I do know what happened.”

Substance abuse and anger issues aren’t Sheen’s only woes. Twice this year, cars stolen from his Hollywood Hills home have been found crashed and abandoned in a ravine.
