SHEEN LEGAL WHACK ATTACK

description

Hot Shot CHARLIE SHEEN ‘s legal team has sent a blistering legal letter to CBS and Warner Bros. TV demanding that the star be paid for eight canceled episodes and promising to sue Warner Bros AND producer CHUCK LORRE

 RadarOnline.com reports top attorney Marty "The Litigator" Singer makes it clear in the letter that Sheen is prepared to litigate and contends the companies have violated Sheen’s rights and contract. He takes aim at Lorre, writing that Warner Bros. and CBS canceled the show episodes "not because of my client’s condition but in retaliation for your show runner being criticized." He also accuses them of "pampering" Lorre.

Citing the decision to cancel production of Two and a Half Men for the rest of the season, Singer writes:  "This action is outrageous and in direct violation of our client’s legal rights, including under the contract between our client and Warner Bros. Television with regard to Two and a Half Men ("the Series"). Our client is entitled to be paid for eight additional episodes under his contract on the Series."

Sheen is ready to work and clean and sober, the letter states. "Furthermore, my client is clean and sober and has passed every drug test requested," the letter reads. "In fact, he took passing tests this weekend."

And Sheen is still ready to work and expects to be back next season.

After putting Warner Bros. and CBS on notice that they have breached the "pay or play compensation provisions" of Sheen’s contract, Singer writes, " we want to again confirm that our client is ready, willing and able to perform his obligations with regard to next season’s production of the series. We trust that you intend to pay our client for 24 episodes for next season’s production of the Series . . ."
