Charlie Sheen has gotten the axe from “Two and a Half Men,” Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Warner Bros. Television, which produces the hit CBS sitcom, confirmed the news in a statement.
“After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ effective immediately,” the statement read.
The news comes just weeks after CBS and Warner Bros. Television pulled the plug on the remainder of the “Two and a Half Men” season after Sheen made a series of radio rants.
“Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen’s statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of ‘Two and a Half Men’ for the remainder of the season,” CBS said in a statement at the time.
Since production was halted on the current season of the show, Sheen has spoken out in a host of interviews, including Access Hollywood, and his own Internet talk show over the weekend.
Sheen had told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush he hoped to work things out recently, noting his lawyer was going to give his terms to CBS CEO Leslie Moonves.
It was not immediately clear what the plans were for the future of “… Men,” but a report had surfaced multiple times that bosses were talking to “Glee’s” John Stamos.
“I love him. I like John, but he doesn’t have what I have and the show sucks if he’s on it,” Sheen previously told Bush before changing his position days later.
“I was out of line and you’re a beautiful man, and a talented man, and if you get the gig, we should talk,” Sheen told Los Angeles’ KTLA News last week.
CBS had no comment on the news that Warner Bros. Television had fired the actor.
Access Hollywood has just interviewed Sheen and will have his first reaction to the news. Check back in shortly to hear what the actor had to say.
