"After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen�s services on "Two and a Half Men" effective immediately," the company announced in a statement.
A source familiar with the decision to terminate Sheen�s contract said that Sheen was informed of the news, �shortly before� the statement was released, at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET. At approximately 4 ET, Sheen tweeted, �#winning.�
"This is very good news," TMZ.com quoted the actor as saying. "They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at whatshisc--k again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."
In a text to The Associated Press, Sheen responded, with the F-word and "They lose," followed by the word "Trolls." Asked if he planned to sue, Sheen texted back, "Big." As for his next move, Sheen texted, "A big one."
Sheen told "Access Hollywood's" Billy Bush that he wasn't told of the firing in person, but electronically. "I got a text or something," Sheen said. "Here's another thing -- these guys are such yellow cockroaches that they didn't even have the decency to call me."
The actor blamed his firing not on his recent interviews, but on his bosses. "I guess if you can't process a guy, or realize his value, you must terminate him," Sheen told Bush. He also said that he plans to move forward with legal action against his former bosses for breach of contract.
"It's so juvenile. It is the work of infants," he said. "It is the work of silly infants and it's just -- if this is what it had to come to, to get me out of those silly shirts, then so be it. So maybe I'll wear one, just on the final day when I go and remove all of their bazillions."
