Brett Rossi is no longer Brett Rossi.
The former adult film star and fiancée to Charlie Sheen tells Us Weekly exclusively that she is changing both her first and last name.
Rossi, 24, will be returning to
her birth name Scottine, and taking on Sheen's last name in advance of
their wedding. She has already changed her Twitter name and handle to
Scottine Sheen and @scottine_sheen.
"I'm trying to leave my porn past
behind me and start living as me," Rossi told Us. "[Sheen] has been
complaining about it and I said, 'they won't EVER stop calling me Brett
Rossi unless I start getting out and doing things as me. You have to let
me do things as Scottine (pronounced Scott-teen).'"
"Even though we aren't married, I
still go by Sheen as my last name," Rossi said. "I don't want to go back
to Rossi since I'm happily divorced and it's pointless to go back to my
maiden name since my last name will be changing again soon anyway…
Everyone already calls me Scottine Sheen. It's different, considering we
aren't married yet… But we basically are."
Rossi and Sheen, 48, are planning to tie the knot in the coming
months. The Anger Management actor proposed to his fiancée on Feb. 15 in
Hawaii with an impressive diamond ring. It will be the fourth marriage
for Charlie and the second for Brett/Scottine.
"Brett Rossi is a past of mine
that I'm ready to move past," she continued to Us. "I originally started
modeling under my real name Scottine when I was 14 years old. I changed
it to Brett Rossi only 4 years ago. [The name] sort of blew up bigger
than I expected and [it] just stuck. However, I am not in the adult
industry anymore and keeping that name keeps myself, as well as the
world, from moving past my past. Everyone has a past and a story, but my
past does not define who I am as a person. Now, I'm preparing the be a
wife, a step-mommy and starting a fresh chapter in my life… Brett Rossi
left the building a year ago when I retired."
The name change isn't the only
major movement in Rossi's life. "We also adopted a flamingo at the Santa
Barbara Zoo and named him Klay-vinn!" she continued to Us. "I'm a huge
animal activist and I'm doing things with the World Wildlife Foundation.
We got a plaque and it's the first thing that says 'Charlie and
Scottine Sheen' publicly."
