Charlie Sheen files lawsuit against Warner Bros for $100 million - Polidicks

[quote][img]http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef014e5fc5d93a970c-500wi[/img]Charlie Sheen, just days after being fired from CBS' "Two and a Half Men," has fired back with a $100-million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Chuck Lorre, the studio and executive producer behind the show. 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.) The suit also says it is pursuing claims for the benefit of the entire cast , crew and actors to be paid for the rest of the current TV season. Sheen's "conduct and condition prevented him from performing his essential duties" and undermined Lorre and Warner Bros.' ability to produce the show, and his suspension and eventual firing were required, the studio said. Charlie Sheen: 'This could be my final interview' Singer fired back that Sheen had been in compliance with his contract and was ready to return to work after production was shut down so the performer could seek treatment for substance-abuse issues. CBS and Warner Bros. pulled the plug on the show for the season and then fired Sheen, who had continued to attack the network, studio and Lorre. Warner Bros. had no comment on the suit. The studio has indicated that it believes its contract with Sheen calls for arbitration to resolve any differences over the terms of his deal.[/quote] The ultimate test to see if Charlie Sheen is a true winner. source: [url]http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2011/03/charlie-sheen-files-100-million-suit-against-warner-bros-and-chuck-lorre-.html?cid=6a00d8341c630a53ef014e86a102e9970d[/url]

That confirms it. Charlie Sheen is completely crazy.

Now that's bi-winning

He drank too much tiger blood

[quote]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.[/quote] As long as he makes his call times who cares what he does on his free time? [quote]The suit also says it is pursuing claims for the benefit of the entire cast , crew and actors to be paid for the rest of the current TV season.[/quote] And I'm willing to bet almost nobody noticed that part, proof that he isn't [i]completely[/i] self absorbed.

Charlie Sheen - the most modest person alive...

Oh fuck here we go.

I agree they shouldn't give a fuck about his personal life, sue those bastards Sheen.

[QUOTE=CjienX;28530023]As long as he makes his call times who cares what he does on his free time?[/QUOTE] Because: A) There's more to acting than just showing up (kinda like there's more to any job than one function) B) His being a raging shitheap negatively impacts ratings because people associate him with the show C) He did miss shit anyway due to being a massive nutbag You're not allowed to behave like a moron when you represent a company and a company's product.

He's not self absorbed, everyone is forgetting that fact that he went to a small baseball league about a week ago and donated like $10grand to it. He's also been retweeting stuff from blood donarships etc.

Charlie Sheen for president.

It'll more likely boost ratings if he goes back, not everyone has the mindset of yours.

Charlie sheen is a crazy motherfucker, but atleast he is doing something for the people whose jobs this fiasco has fucked up

oh right there not getting paid noew

[QUOTE=mr apple;28530453]Depends what he's done. It'll more likely boost ratings if he goes back, not everyone has the mindset of yours.[/QUOTE] I love the guy. I'm just not so dense as to think everyone that views WB productions and/or is in the target markets of those productions is a 20 something white male who laughs at stupid cracked articles. You gotta remember 80% of their income comes from complete ninnies, not us. There are groups that must be pleased which we are not a part of.

he did this to himself

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;28530290]B) His being a raging shitheap negatively impacts ratings because people associate him with the show[/QUOTE] The ratings for the show skyrocketed after his various scandals actually. (At least for a bit, I haven't heard recently.)

man this guy has balls

Winning!

I really don't get why so many people here think hes a winner for being crazy.

Fuck yeah, Charlie Sheen.

Charlie Sheen is fucked up.

What the hell does he need 100$m for?

[QUOTE=kimr120;28531007]What the hell does he need 100$m for?[/QUOTE] his supply of tiger blood

So they fired him. Now what? How will the show continue with only one and a half men?

We are going to need a megathread if he keeps up with his antics.
