Charlie Sheen sues Warner Bros., Chuck Lorre for $100 million
LA Times ^ | March 10, 2011 | LA Times

Charlie Sheen, just days after being fired from CBS' "Two and a Half Men," has fired back with a $100-million lawsuit on behalf of himself and the show's crew against Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre, the studio and executive producer of the show, respectively.

The suit, filed Thursday morning in Santa Monica Superior Court, charges that Sheen was only fired from the show because he had recently criticized Lorre both on radio and television. Warner Bros., in a letter to Sheen's attorney Martin Singer, had said Sheen was fired because he had become a liability on the show and his erratic off-stage life had started to affect his ability to perform. (Here is a copy of the suit.)

Anyone know how 2 1/2 Men ratings are since this all started?

I don't know, but I do know that FX picked up 2 and 1/2 men in syndication (saw the ads last night while watching Justified). Damned unfortunate timing for FX.

I laughed out loud after reading, Mr. Sheen, I’m having a difficult time sitting here and listening to you draw distorted parallels between the Bush/Cheney regime and mine.

If I were a juror at this trial or hearing, I would vote AGAINST Charlie Sheen.

Charlie Sheen is an arrogant egomaniac, a certifiable nutjob with delusions of grandeur.

Sheen would have to wrestle Obama for the title of messiah.

He’ll probably spend $99 million on booze, drugs and hookers and then just waste the rest.

“$100 million will buy a lot of cocaine!”

A lot of hookers, too.

I read elsewhere that Charlie was no longer insurable. Production companies always take out insurance on their key people ... this is a good example of why.

Sheen knew what he was doing. I know some people at that specific court and they mostly tend to lick the bottom of the shoes of celebs. Away from the studios, and lib-actor friendly. Someone coherent is nudging him on what to do in the background..

I've been watching Sheen for a few weeks now and just read the lawsuit. It appears to me that there has been some thought put in to this fight. And there are big bucks at stake. Chuck Lorre and Warner Brothers are in for an interesting ride if Sheen keeps his nose clean and does nothing stupid.

My husband was clerk for a judge who used to say, “you can sue anyone, but that does not mean you are going to win.”
