AceShowbiz - It's no secret that Charlie Sheen has had a problematic life, but his 2011 meltdown was probably the one that grabbed attention the most. The then-"highest-paid actor on US television" suddenly lost his job as the lead actor on "Two and a Half Men" after he underwent a substance rehabilitation program, his third in 12 months, and made derogatory comments about the series' creator, Chuck Lorre. He also caused a scene on a Beverly Hills rooftop, drinking what he called "Tiger Blood" and brandishing a machete. Another hint at his downward spiral was a video in which he babbled incoherently during a phone call.
Not taking the termination in stride, he filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Chuck and Warner Bros. After settling the lawsuit in September of that year, he publicly apologized to the sitcom's cast and crew for his behaviors while presenting at award at the Primetime Emmy Awards. "From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season. We spent eight wonderful years together and I know you will continue to make great television," he said on stage.
