In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Sheen's feisty attorney, Marty Singer, lashes out at the show's producer, insisting his client has been made a 'scapegoat' for his actions.
"Defendant 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 devoid to take money away from the dedicated cast and crew of the popular television series, Two And A Half Men in order to service his own ego and self interest, and make the star of the series the scapegoat for Lorre's own conduct."

Seems ironic Sheen would sue on behalf of crew when HE IS THE REASON THEY DON'T HAVE JOBS TO BEGIN WITH. He's just trying to get sympathy. What a piece of work. He needs psychiatric help & rehab.

This lawsuit is without merit. Sheen caused all of this and it's without dispute. Why did they give him a two year contract if they wanted him off? A lawsuit against Lorre himself will be tossed.

He may be crazy, but I'm on Team Sheen for this lawsuit. They didn't have to fire him. They didn't have to go on hiatus. But I really would like to see that reel of film they claim shows him unable to perform.

Charlie is probably very right about why all this came down. That show has put up with years of partying from him. So, why cut him loose now? I felt there had to be ulterior motives behind him being fired.
