Charlie Sheen: Bi-Winning in Court?

September 27, 2011 in News | Comments (0)

Charlie Sheen, best known for his role on the sitcom Two and a Half Men and the movie Wall Street, went off his rocker recently, if he was ever on a rocker.

In an interview on 20/20 in March, Sheen said some really ridiculous things about himself.

When asked about having a form of bi-polar disease, Sheen retorted, “Wow what does that mean? Wow and then what? What’s the cure? Medicine? Make me like them? Not gonna happen. I’m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. Now what?”

What is funniest, or perhaps most strange, depending on how one looks at it, is that Sheen appeared completely serious about what he was saying.

Later in the interview, Sheen claimed to have tiger blood. With a straight face.

While many blogs, YouTube users, and Tabloids have had a good laugh or two at Sheen’s expense, the law does not find it so funny.

In January of 2011, Sheen’s hit show was shut down by Warner Bros. Studios so that, reportedly, he could seek treatment. Sheen sued the company for $100 million, money that would cover his participation in the show.

Up until very recently, sources indicated that a $25 million settlement was his best bet.

Now, according to TMZ, Sheen will receive $25 million for his work in the show in addition to $100 million “in the next 7 – 10 years…for the actor in syndication profits.”

It looks like Sheen has the last laugh. In court, he’s more than just bi-winning. Maybe he really does have tiger blood!
