Charlie Sheen files $100 million lawsuit against Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros.
Troubled actor Charlie Sheen is trying to take revenge on the corporate trolls who fired him from his hit TV show Two and a Half Men.
Sheen is suiting the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, and Warner bros. for $100 million.
The actor is demanding he get paid for the eight canceled Two and a Half Men episodes and he is also suing on behalf of the cast and crew of the CBS show.
TMZ is reporting that the court documents they obtained Sheen's lawyer, Marty Singer, stated that 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 on the series a scapegoat for Lorre's own conduct,
The documents state that Warner Bros. fired Sheen while he was sick, which would be a violation of State and Federal law.
Singer also brings up the fact that Sheen's contract was renegotiated when he was facing felony charges in Aspen, which Warner Bros. thought may land Sheen behind bars.
The lawsuit also claims that the studio violated Sheen's right to perform and receive compensation to which he is contractually entitled.
Singer also alleges that Lorre personally hated Sheen and wanted him off the show for a while now.
Sheen, a recent Twitter phenomenon used the social networking site to address the issue.
#Fastball; Torpedo away ... You corporate trolls were warned. And now you've been served! C, he tweeted.
