Charlie Sheen thinks Chuck Lorre is about to commit a “crime against entertainment humanity”.
The 49-year-old actor was famously fired from his starring role on Two and a Half Men by CBS and Warner Bros. due to alleged anger problems and narcotics abuse. He later called the show’s creator and Executive Producer a “stupid, stupid little man and a p*ssy punk”, initiating a feud.
The fire has been reignited by Charlie in a new video obtained by Radar Online, in which he claims Chuck has banned him from returning to film one final episode.
“Here’s what sucks,” Charlie begins in the clip. “I got clearance from the whole cast. [CBS President & CEO] Les Moonves …all the suits. There’s one guy who’s blocking it. Guess who that would be?”
After confirming the videographer’s guess that it was in fact Chuck blocking his return to the show, Charlie continued ranting. He suggested fans should be the ones to decide whether or not they wanted to see him back in Charlie Harper’s shoes for the sitcom’s final episode.
“We should start a poll, who wants me on the show?” he said into the camera. “It’s a tip of the hat to fans, and if it doesn’t happen, it’s a crime against entertainment humanity. And that’s on you Chuck, if you don’t let it happen. Do the right thing, Chuck! Get out of your own way. Oh wait, that’s impossible.”
Charlie was replaced by Ashton Kutcher on the hit series after he was dismissed in 2011. As well as being outspoken in his criticism of Chuck, he also filed a wrongful termination lawsuit which was ultimately settled.
However, he then took the stage at the Primetime Emmy Awards and delivered a speech with a very different sentiment.
“From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season,” Charlie said, directing his words to the Two and a Half Men producers. “We spent eight wonderful years together and I know you will continue to make great television.”
