Charlie Sheen: 'I have a lot of work to do'

UPDATED: Charlie Sheen broke his media silence Wednesday, releasing a public statement and sending text messages to a news outlet.

“I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people.

I want to say ‘thank-you’ to my fellow cast members, the crew of Two and a Half Men, and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros., especially Les Moonves and Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support.

And to my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much.

Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, ‘thank-you.’”

In an interview with E! News, Sheen said the idea that rumors such as CBS ditching Men is “all crap” and chastised the media as “pathetic” for focusing on his problems when there’s unrest in Egypt.

“Believe nothing,” he texted. “I will never speak about any of this as long as I’m alive. You’re all gonna have to keep towing the same redundant line, guessing wrong.”

Sheen is currently undergoing stay-at-home rehab treatment while production on his CBS hit series Two and a Half Men has been suspended.

The network has ordered two episodes of Rules of Engagement to fill the void in the coming weeks, while repeats of Men have performed strongly.

With about 300 cast and crew out of work during his absence, some have wondered whether the actor should help pay to keep the Men team employed.

  • huh

    Idiot.

    • Sara

      I second that huh. His bad actions are affecting other people’s jobs and yet he gets $2 million an episode. I wonder how much shame he has (probably none) knowing that he is affecting other people’s families because of his porn addictions.

      • RaWeezy

        Give him a break.People make mistakes, it’s part of being human. You can only live with the choices you make and try and be better.

      • OO

        @RaWeezy, seriously?!
        He didn’t forget his hw, or flunk a test, or flunk a class, or even a year. It’s like he tore down the whole school with his antics.

      • UGH

        Fans,
        You are all complete idiots to believe in this arrogant pr!ck.

      • johanna

        I feel for Charlie’s addiction, however, the show was about finished with the stories all told and they becoming older

    • Poopaloo

      Yes.

      • Bette

        What an understatement !

      • Mary Taylor

        Dear idiot, I don’t know who you think you are, but you’ve obviously gt alot to lelearn as far as filming goes. You don’t make your friends lose a job and expect to be rewarded for it. The sydication has invested alot of time and money into the actor , why do you think he gets 2 millions an episode ? He is only doing what some people are telling him to do it. He is only doing drugs and sleeping with porn stars to get the attention . Now who’s the idiot ? it

    • J Milano

      How could all of you post comments on this when there is unrest in Egypt??

      • Bette

        Then what are you doing here ?

      • Bette

        … and there is unrest at the Sheen residence.

      • Chaz Winterbottom

        It’s called multitasking.

    • kathy

      agree!!

      • anonymous

        actually 4:30 am Egypt. Very intense right now. LIVE .

      • anonymous

        3 dead. 600 injured so far.

      • Anonomous

        You all think you’re so cool, Thinking that you’ve got Charlie all figured out, and I’ve got news for you, YOU DON’T ! ! Only Martin and his mom know the real truth ! ! What is Charlie talking about referring to Arol Flynn the way he did ? I don’t know what Charlie Scheen is trying to prove anyway, doesn’t he have everything a man could want, success, he’s got like a billion dollars-atleast he must have by now! ! He’s got 2 beautiful kids that I know about anyway, what else has he got besides ex-wives ! !

      • Anonomous

        What the heck is At-Home-Rehab suppose to accomplish anyway ? Is that even for real ?

    • Carlos

      I am afraid, Charlie Sheen will end up dead in the near future because he’s not happy with his life.

      • Joe

        hardly, he’s buying a house to fill with porn stars, sounds an aweful lot like he’s happy with his life. You should have heard the interview on Howard Stern with Kacey Jordan.

  • anonymous

    Ya. And with Superbowl Sunday coming up, watch out Charlie.

  • Sideways Jack

    Awww that’s nice.

  • Gus

    Easy on the drugs and drinks will ya?

    • johanna

      Do you know anything about addiction?
      It is hell on earth

  • pL

    Here’s hoping this one sticks.

    • Anonomous

      I guess everyone is too worried about Charlie instead of thier own lives !

      • Anonomous

        What the heck is all the concern about anyway , isn’t Errol Flynn spelled this way rather than Arol ?

  • heidi

    He should be paying the crew/ He maintains he’s always a pro and everything work-wise but right now he should have to admit that his partying and addiction are adversely affecting those employed on the show. He needs to pay them instead of his dealers.

    • heidi

      Plus, TMZ ahd Huffington Post have reported that texts directly from SHeen this evening say that none of it was true, its all crap (refering to the statement he made, listed above in the article).

      SAD

  • Elusive

    Get well charlie

  • LOL

    Those hookers aren’t going to pay themselves. Get back to work, slacker.

  • Pete

    I always associate Charlie Sheen with Errol Flynn.

    • anonymous

      Ha ha..Is Charlie omni-sexual too ?

    • Bette

      Errol Flynn is not the best role model to emulate.

  • Garry

    No sympathy from me. Sheen is a world-class schmuck, and a hedonist who would make Caligula cringe with embarrassment. I don’t care if he re-habs a dozen times. Take his show off the air already–it’s beginning to look more like a reality show than a sitcom. And we could have a break from looking at his scowling, $2 million-per-episode mug every week.

    • Caligula

      I look at Charlie Sheen and cringe with embarrassment.

      • Garry

        See? Told ya.

  • Cyn

    Cry me a river, Charlie. Your statements would be meaningful if you weren’t putting people out of work.

    • anonymous

      Too little, too late Charlie.

    • heidi

      not even meaningful since he just left text messages saying that everything people are saying is all crap, including the very comment made above. Seriously I wonder if they should just send him back tomorrow to work – he’s not doing rehab right now.

    • nik

      You live by the sword, you die by the sword. If your job depends on Charlie Sheen, it doesn’t mean he owes you anything. He’s still a free man, or does earning a lot of money make him less so… I mean think about it I suppose he certainly has this impression.

      The funny thing is that the Charlie on “Men” is not the grossly exaggerated version of the real one – it’s the watered down, family friendly version.

      • Sam

        I agree with you on the one man ideology. True hebmakes alot of money doing is craft although his talent enables others to make a living also he not Responsible For their welfare or livilhood– only his children And hisself!

  • justme_55

    What a loser! Less we see of him the better. Garbage tv show too.

  • meinillinois

    First, he is a complete jerk BUT – What a bunch of Liberal Whiners here !!! Hey, they chose to work with him , knowing FULL, WELL of his past. Now they want him to pay ??? Idiots, go file for unemployment and quit whining.

    • @mein….

      And the winner for stupid comment is….

    • DTO

      Uh, first of all, I’m sure the crew does not work for Sheen personally. They’re there to do a job, and it happens to revolve around him. Second, he supposedly cleaned himself up and straightened himself back in the late 1990s/early 2000s, which means they probably were expecting better and probably could not have foreseen weekend/after-hours partying affecting them directly. Third, meinillinois is a douche for bringing politics into the equation. Eat s h i t already.

    • Mike

      Please, meinillinois, they’re whining about jobs, drinking and sex. Clearly they’re Republicans, or maybe they’re just stiffs with too much time on their hands to be worrying about Sheen? Why don’t you reexamine history, your definitions, and your perception of reality.

      • meinillinois

        whining about jobs, drinking and sex – Clearly Obamacrats. Always looking for somebody else to bail them out with a handout. Simple solution – Take some responsibility, quit Sheen’s production company and get another job.

  • Bibi

    What a putz.

  • Brad

    He is the definition of the word douchebag.

    • :(

      What an insult to douchebags. Most douchebags fly solo- they don’t tear down families and their workplaces.
