Sheen Asks ‘Two And A Half Men’ Crew To Be ‘Patient’; Vows To Fight CBS Over Potential Salary Lost

Charlie Sheen has let loose again at his CBS bosses in yet another radio rant – this time calling into former Access Hollywood host Pat O’Brien’s FOX Sports radio show, “Loose Cannons,” on Friday afternoon, dubbing “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre and executive producer Lee Aronsohn “a couple of AA [Alcoholics Anonymous] Nazis” and “blatant hypocrites.”

“Charlie, what happened with ‘Two and a Half Men,’ really? What really happened?” Pat asked Charlie on his radio show on Friday.

“I don’t know — they kept getting up into my grill, kept tell me how to live my personal life,” Charlie answered. “I’m saying, ‘Back off, back off,’ and they wouldn’t.”

On Thursday evening, CBS announced they were pulling the plug on the remainder of the current season of “Two and a Half Men” following an outrageous radio rant by the actor that afternoon, in which he told radio host Alex Jones, “I was told if I went on the attack, they would cancel the show and all that and so I’m just sort of seeing if they’re telling the truth or not,” referring to his CBS bosses.

Following the cancellation announcement, Charlie vowed to fight any attempt by CBS/Warner Bros. to withhold his salary for the canceled shows.

“Defeat is not an option,” Charlie told Pat. “They picked a fight with the wrong guy. They know what they did was wrong. They are in absolute breach — I did nothing wrong.”

The embattled star also maintained his recent claims of sobriety, telling Pat, “[I am] 100 percent [sober], man.

“They want hair, blood, pee… it’s what they told me to do, man,” he continued. “They rolled into my house, the big wigs, and they said, ‘Change your life,’ and I did, in like, an hour.”

As for his “…Men” co-stars and crew — who are now currently facing unemployment due to the feud — Charlie said to “be patient.”

“Be focused,” Charlie advised. “We are at war and there are ways to deal with these clowns and take all their money.”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, a source close to “Two and a Half Men” told Access on Friday that the show’s crew will not be completely out of a job now that their show has been canceled for the rest of the season – rather, they will continue to work on Chuck Lorre’s other Warner Bros./CBS sitcom, “The Big Bang Theory.”

The beleaguered crew will, however, suffer a large pay cut of about 15 percent, in going from two shows to one, according to the source.

A rep for Warner Bros., which produces the hit sitcom, had no comment regarding Charlie’s salary demands nor the alleged pay cut for the crew when contacted by Access on Friday.
