Jon Cryer canceled plans to release a statement of support for his former “Two and Half Men” co-star Charlie Sheen after the embattled actor called him a “troll.”
Sheen hit headlines in 2011 when his feud with the sitcom’s creator Chuck Lorre went public, and the actor’s increasingly bizarre behaviour eventually led to him being fired from the hit TV show.
Cryer was left in the middle of the melee, and had planned to back Sheen by releasing a letter of support, but he axed the move after his former colleague hurled a particularly nasty insult at him.
“I was in the middle of writing the statement, Cryer said, you know, ‘It’s been an honor to work with Charlie all these years’, and then my publicist said, ‘Oh wait – it’s just come over the wire. He’s just called you a traitor, a turncoat and a troll’, and I was like, ‘Okay! Let’s put a pin in that statement of support!’”
