The
long battle that pitted actor Charlie Sheen against “Two and a Half
Men” creator Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. Television is finally over.
Sheen had filed a $100 million wrongful termination lawsuit after losing
his role as Charlie Harper on the hit sitcom earlier this year. Just
prior to his firing, the actor had launched verbal attacks against Lorre
in the media. Warner Bros. confirmed the news of a settlement
yesterday, saying all three parties “have resolved their dispute” to
“mutual satisfaction.” “The pending lawsuit and arbitration will be
dismissed as to all parties. The parties have agreed to maintain
confidentiality over the terms of the settlement,” a statement said.
Though there are no details available, a source told the Los Angeles
Times last week that Warner Bros. would pay the actor about $25 million
to settle.
