Charlie Sheen is not going down without a fight. Reacting to CBS' decision to shut down production on his sitcom, the actor fired off a strongly-worded letter Thursday night, calling "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre "a contaminated little maggot," among other things. Sheen also accused Lorre of not being able to handle his power and the truth. In the letter, posted on TMZ.com, Sheen also urged fans to walk with him "side-by-side," quote, "as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong." He added, quote, "Remember these are my people... not yours... we will continue on together." The letter followed CBS' statement that cited Sheen's "statements, conduct and condition" as reason to "discontinue production of 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season."
Earlier in the day, the actor called in to the syndicated radio show "The Alex Jones Show," ranting against network bosses with a warning that the sitcom would fail without him. Sheen said he would rather make movies with "superstars and not work with idiots." "Two and a Half Men" was scheduled to resume production next week after a month-long hiatus due to Sheen's treatment in rehab.
