EXCLUSIVE: 'Two & A Half Men' Crew Turns Against Sheen For Attacking Jon Cryer
March 9 2011, Published 8:55 a.m. ET
Charlie Sheen has angered the production staff and crew of Two and a Half Men with his recent vitriolic attack on co-star Jon Cryer, Breaking Celebrity News has learned exclusively.
As Sheen continues his Media Madness tour, firing salvos at practically everyone and everything, he called Cryer “a troll” and ripped into him, saying: "Jon has not called me. He's a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. Clearly he's a troll. Is it gonna take me calling him a 'traitor, juvenile and scared' for him to get it?"
And in an interview with Southern California’s K-EARTH 101 radio station Wednesdays morning Sheen claimed Cryer could not remember his lines and ruined scenes as a result.
All of these comments have alienated and angered the crew, one source told Breaking Celebrity News.
“Those comments about Jon are totally unjustified. Everyone working here knows he was one of the most professional cast members who would turn up early and always knew his lines,” a show insider told Breaking Celebrity News.
“In fact, he would often eat with the crew and he was very well liked by everybody on the set… he was very popular with everyone.”
Sheen later issued what he called a “half apology” to Cryer.
Some mop-up work was performed at the studio on Wednesday and one person told Breaking Celebrity News, “it’s extra sad because we may now be never coming back.”
Warner Bros. fired Sheen but has not announced if the show will proceed with a new actor.
