SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Charlie Sheen brought his verbal war against Warner Bros. and the executive producer of "Two and a Half Men" to the courtroom on Thursday, filing a $100 million lawsuit seeking to recoup his salary and wages for the show's crew.
The breach of contract lawsuit alleges production was halted on the CBS sitcom to punish Sheen for recent behavior that has included two hospitalizations and, in recent weeks, a series of interviews where he has attacked executive producer Chuck Lorre.
The filing comes four days after Sheen was fired from "Two and a Half Men," leaving the top-rated sitcom's future in doubt.
Sheen's lawsuit alleges that Warner Bros. bowed to Lorre's desire to punish Sheen, and that the producer and studio conspired to blame the actor for causing production to stop.
The suit also was filed on behalf of the sitcom's crew, which was put out of work.
