It finally happened. Charlie Sheen has been officially fired by Warner Bros Television from the hit comedy “Two and a Half Men”. Company’s official statement read: "After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen's services on 'Two and a Half Men' effective immediately.’
TMZ reports that the 11 page termination letter stated the actor was fired because he committed a felony involving "moral turpitude." "Your client has been engaged in dangerously self-destructive conduct and appears to be very ill."
As for the main reason why Sheen was fired, the letter states it was due to Sheen selling "cocaine to others as part of the self-destructive lifestyle he has described publicly... that have 'interfered with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required' under the agreement."
Sheen told TMZ that he doesn’t agree with Warner Bros and plans to sue Lorre (Two and a Half Men creator) and Warner Bros. He believes they fired him because he insulted Lorre. When show got initially suspended due to Sheen’s drinking problem, the actor publicly attacked Lorre by sending open letter to the media: "What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows (…) I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can't handle my power and can't handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong." He also called Lorre "a stupid, stupid little man and a pu**y punk that I never want to be like."
It looks however that the actor is not taking his firing too hard. "Free at last! This is the greatest day of my life," – he said. He also organized a bizarre party on the roof of Live Nation's building in Beverly Hills. He was seen with his girlfriend Natalie Kenly yelling “Bring it!", wielding a machete and drinking from a bottle labeled “Tiger blood”.
It is a shame that Charlie Sheen, who was a pretty cool actor, ended his appearance on Two and a Half Men in such a sad way. I will truly miss the show.
