Charlie Sheen didn't mean to get on stage and call a crowd at his new club a bunch of "f****ts." But he did.

TMZ reports that FX's Anger Management star has apologized. He was reportedly hosting the opening of his new bar, EPIC, in Cabo San Lucas at the El Ganzo Hotel -- which he promised on Twitter would be "the party of the year!!" -- and TMZ posted video of him yelling over the mic, "Lying bunch of f****t assholes, how we doing?"

To make it all better, Sheen blamed the whole thing on his lisping.

"I meant no ill will and intended to hurt no one and I apologize if I offended anyone," Sheen told TMZ. "I meant to say maggot but I have a lisp."

Sheen was apparently out partying with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa when the antigay slur was made. He tweeted an Instagram pic with his arm around the former chairman of the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

Sheen's kind words for the mayor: "From Boyle Heights to Mayor of LA..! To @hotelelganza 2 party w/SHEEN at SheenZ..! Antonio Villaraigosa knows how to party!"
