Tiger Blood not truth serum according to Warner Bros?
[Apr. 15]
Despite Charlie Sheen and his seeming never-ending rant about how all the people at Warner Bros. and CBS are going to regret their firing him from Two and a Half Men, it seems Sheen is lying only himself. Maybe his tiger blood needs a touch of truth serum. Sources at Warner Bros. have said, unequivocally, that Sheen in no way will be returning to the show and that there were and are no discussions in place to negotiate a return, past, present, or future. And more, when it comes to any debate about whether or not he will return to the show Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen is not #winning.
Entertainment Weekly reported Sheen as having said Tuesday:
“There’s been discussions, but I was asked not to divulge anything,” he told Boston radio station WBZ-FM on Tuesday night. “Had they told me at the end of season 8 that that behavior wasn’t going to be cool, I would have adjusted it.”
On Thursday, however, Entertainment Weekly followed up with this report:
In a letter sent to Sheen’s attorney, the studio’s counsel wrote: “Those statements are false. As you know, there have been no discussions, there are no discussions and there will be no discussions, regarding his returning to or having any involvement with the series.”
But the attorney for Charlie Sheen, Marty Singer, tells a different story. He says they absolutely have been in discussions. Uh-oh. So who is lying to whom, now? No telling with this much money on the table.
TMZ reports:
“There have been discussions as late as Tuesday, and all parties have been involved — Warner Bros., CBS, Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen.”
And, Singer says, “Charlie Sheen was recently approached by a third party to resolve this matter.” Singer did not identify the third party.
Marty Singer, in fact, says the aforementioned letter from the studio’s counsel is a response to a letter Singer sent first, claiming that the studio still owes Charlie Sheen money from season 7 of Two and a Half Men and has refused to send accounting statements as requested. “Charlie did not lie about the discussions,” Singer said. “There WERE discussions.”
Whatever the case on the legal fornt for Charlie Sheen, Warner Bros. and CBS now are adamant that Charlie Sheen, once the highest paid television star in the world, never will be allowed to return to the set of Two and a Half Men. Let’s hope his Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat becomes an option for the troubled actor, else he’s going to have some serious bills to pay.
