Charlie Sheen Sues Chuck Lorre, Warner Bros. for $100 Million

Charlie Sheen means business. The actor just filed a $100 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre for
firing him from his hit CBS sitcom, 'Two and a Half Men,'
TMZ reports.
Sheen spoke out on the lawsuit via -- what else? -- his Guinness World Record-setting
Twitter account, writing, "
You corporate Trolls were warned. And now you've been served!"
After Warner Bros. gave Sheen the ax via letter earlier this week, the star told
'Access Hollywood Live' he felt the bigwigs involved were cowards.
"These guys are such yellow cockroaches that they didn't even have the decency to call me," said Sheen, indicating that he received a text with the news. "I put five bill in their cheap suit pockets. It's just deplorable."
The lawsuit, according to TMZ, is also on behalf of the 'Men' crew.
Sheen's lawyer, Marty Singer, wrote in the suit, "Chuck Lorre, one of the richest men in television who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, believes himself to be so wealthy and powerful that he can unilaterally decide to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew of the popular television series, 'Two and a Half Men,' in order to serve his own ego and self-interest, and make the star of the Series the scapegoat for Lorre's own conduct."
Singer also claims Warner Bros. violated federal and state laws by firing Sheen when he was sick.

LORRE DIDN'T CAUSE THE CAST AND CREW THEIR JOBS - CHARLIE DID!

Lorre quit, not Sheen. Therefore, he cost people jobs.
"Singer also claims Warner Bros. violated federal and state laws by firing Sheen when he was sick.">>>>>> The only law I am aware of that prohibits firing someone when they are sick is the Americans with Disabilities Act. It would be really stupid to try to use the ADA since Charlie Sheen has not admitted to having an addiction. You have to specifically tell your employer that you have an addiction and then take steps to stop the addiction. He hasn't done either one of those things.

There is also the Family Medical Leave Act which is what I would believe that would be talking about. But in order for that to stick Charlie would have had to go to the doctor and prove he has a medical condition which he is denying so I don't even know how they are challenging it.
Why don`t you just go away Charlie?

Wake up, Chucky! YOU caused ALL of the cast and crew to lose their jobs, with your BAD behavior, with your BAD mouth, with your rampant drug use, with your rampant binge-drinking. And now you want to sue CBS? Good luck, Chuck.

By the looks of things, not to mention the sound of things, this man is cooked - done - over the hill. by Charlie. if he gets a cent it will be a miracle. he has totally made a fool of himself with no regard or respect to his children. his brain is cooked.

trash reporting makes me sick. we have a war going on and our men are being killed and wounded - maybe charlie should put his money and energy into visiting these young men/women that have no one to see them at walter reed. GO CHARLIE GO

AMEN, Linda
Charlie only thinks of himself, not our brave armed forces. I heard that he plans on going to Haiti of all places with Sean Penn. Since when is he interested in Haiti? His new spin is pretending he cares about his crew, ex's and children. That's why he needs MONEY. Just a new excuse not to pay child support. Well, the only thing he is concerned about is himself and his drug fueled lifestyle. Lord save us from this fool. No longer watch any of his reruns or movies. Cut him off.
I love it 100% its in the publics eye what skeletons do all the
people have that are negative towards Charlie Sheen

It's gunna be pretty tough to say you were ready to go back to work but were fired when you were sick - this lawsuit, like all his ranting interviews is an emotional resposne that hasn't been well thought out - this suit is lost before it even makes it to court .... you can claim "winning" all you want but your record of late has more Ls than Ws .... Mehhhhhhhhn .....
