Tattle: Capri tells GMA about her date with Charlie Sheen

IT'S BEEN a couple of weeks since

Capri Anderson

(or whatever her name is this week) has had a chance to see her monicker in the Tattle column, so she made the rounds at ABC yesterday to tell her side of her story of her "date" with

Charlie Sheen

.

Capri, the woman who was found locked in the bathroom of Charlie's Plaza Hotel suite, said she's suing the "Two and a Half Men" star for battery and false imprisonment, and plans to file a criminal report with New York City police, which she allegedly did yesterday afternoon. (Late yesterday, Team Charlie said it was suing her for attempting to extort $1 million from him.)

Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" yesterday, the porn star/

escort said Charlie yelled racial slurs, threw a lamp at her and grabbed her by the throat.

Charlie, 45 going on 17, was briefly hospitalized after he became disorderly and broke furniture in his room, Plaza security reported. He voluntarily went with authorities for a psychiatric evaluation. His publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said at the time that Sheen had an adverse reaction to medication.

Sure he did. Maybe it was Viagra.

Capri told "GMA" host George Stephanopoulos, who not long ago interviewed world leaders, that she had been hired for $3,500 to join Sheen for dinner on Oct. 25. She called "absolutely untrue" reports that she expected to be paid for sex.

$3,500 just for dinner? Capri must have some table manners. Come on, if Charlie Sheen is paying that kind of money for dinner, you can be sure that he's dessert.

Capri said Charlie became increasingly unruly as the evening wore on, making it even more bizarre that she would return with him to his hotel room since he wasn't paying her.

"It's hard to say, being that it was my first time hanging out with him, if it was normal, everyday behavior for him," she said.

But after dinner, she accompanied "fairly intoxicated" Charlie back to his suite, where "there was a little bit of romance, if you will."

Alas, we won't. But she will.

He snorted "a white powdery substance," Capri said.

"When it became really uncomfortable was when he put his hands around my neck," she said. "At that point things began to very rapidly kind of fall apart and just really get out of hand."

When she attempted to gather her belongings and leave, Charlie threw a lamp and other objects at her, she said.

"Shocked and scared," she locked herself in the bathroom and used her cell phone to call a friend, but not police. She explained to Stephanopoulos that she wasn't thinking clearly.

Contact high, perhaps?

Later, Charlie texted Capri, offering "a sum of money," approximately $20,000, said TMZ.com, because, stand-up guy that he is, Charlie realized he hadn't paid Capri.

For dinner.

(Little bit of romance, no extra charge.)

Capri said Charlie's offer did not specify that she remain silent.

In a statement, Charlie's attorney, Yale Galanter, denied Capri's charges and said she "never made any allegation to the police of any wrongful conduct on the part of Mr. Sheen the night of the incident and she had every opportunity to do so."

The allegations are a "blatant attempt to cash in on his celebrity," Galanter said.

What? When someone offers you $3,500 to have "dinner" with them, the cashing-in-on-their-celebrity ship has already sailed.

But how ironic that Team Charlie is trying to discredit Capri's story by insisting she gets paid for more than dinner.

Although Capri has repeatedly denied she's a hooker, Charlie's manager, Mark Burg, tells TMZ, "This is a woman who, for the right amount of money, sleeps with strangers."

Uh, Charlie wasn't a stranger. She had dinner with him.
