Agreed, and he also seems to have way, way too much of an ego to seek help for or acknowledge any mental illness. Edited March 1, 2011 by esherk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His use may be linked to trying to cover the illness, possibly. och what a mess. Edited March 1, 2011 by tulip19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tyler 408 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Just my opinion, but I think he was self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. Now that he's clean, his manic-ness is uncontained. What a completely sad, fucked up situation. Some people go off their meds so they can drink or do other drugs. They choose to do one or the other because they can't do both. Anybody who says they can heal themselves through the power of thier mind may recognize that they have a problem, but that not that need help dealing with it. I can't help but wonder what his dad and brother think about this. As one radio talk show guy said, "His dad is just waiting for the phone call." I think Charlie needs what happened to Britney -- someone to step in and take control. Random thoughts Edited March 3, 2011 by tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if he is right, and he gets away with this, ..... between him and and a potential comeback from Lilo, I'd say our society is in a freefall. It makes me sad that there are "fans" that think this is cool. Bobby: the insurance - could it be there was no insurance because he was uninsurable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyWonka 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2011 I was wondering about insurance. I thought studio's (producers?) always had to buy insurance that would pay out if the job was delayed or couldn't be completed. That's why Robert Downey Jr. had such a hard time getting a job initially after rehab, because he was either uninsurable or the premium was sky high due to his history of drug use. I think they should have written it into Charlie's contract if they couldn't film the show due to him being on a bender/in rehab, everyone would still get paid and it would come out of Charlie's paycheck 100%.

Cutielb99 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Charlie Sheen Fired From 'Two And A Half Men' By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Monday March 7, 2011 @ 1:34pm PST It's over for Charlie Sheen on the hit CBS comedy Two and a Half Men. The series producer Warner Bros. TV just released the following statement: "After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately." Just like the studio did with its previous statement announcing the cancellation of Two and a Half Men for the rest of this season, Warner Bros. TV stopped short of announcing the end of the series, meaning that continuing the sitcom with a new actor next season is a possibility. Two and a Half Men has one more season under a multi-year pickup at CBS. There has been a lot of speculation about CBS and Warner Bros. TV putting together a wish list of actors to potentially succeed Sheen on the show, with names like John Stamos and Rob Lowe bandied about. Sheen's termination by Warner Bros. TV follows a relentless media blitz by the Two and a Half Men star who has been taking numerous swipes at CBS, Warner Bros. and the show's co-creator executive producer Chuck Lorre over the past 2 weeks. He also launched a Web-based series, Sheen's Korner, and is in talks with HDNet for unscripted/talk show projects. Today's decision is sure to fuel a legal war between Sheen and Warner Bros. In preparation, the studio last week hired top attorneys Ron Olsen and John Spiegel. Sheen's litigation lawyer, Marty Singer, last week fired a letter to the studio complaining of its treatment of the Men star over the production shutdown of the show but stopped short of launching a full-blown lawsuit. It is a sad end to one of the most successful sitcom run for an actor. For the past (almost) eight seasons, Sheen reinvigorated his career amassing a fortune along the way, commanding about $1.5 million an episode under his most recent contract for the show.

Seems to me Charlie got exactly what he wanted. He was daring Warner Bros to fire him so he could sue for breach. I don't think WB would have fired him if their lawyers weren't pretty damn confident Sheen doesn't have a case, based on his contract. I've read various things about what might be in his contact (on Ausiello's new website - TVline - the commenters on the Sheen firing thread- so I have no idea how reliable any of it is - but it makes sense to me that the businessmen wouldn't do it if they were worried about a lawsuit. One comment I read said that if the producers knew about a felony (not even a conviction - just knew about it) they could fire him. Pretty sure he's admitted to some felonies, right? Suitcase full of cocaine in his possession? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
