Charlie Sheen Sends Ashton Kutcher Apology For Insults

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Charlie Sheen has extended an apology to his Two and a Half Men replacement Ashton Kutcher via Twitter.

Days after insulting Kutcher and the direction of Two and a Half Men,  Sheen tweeted an apology for his offensive remarks.

“Dear Ashton- My bad — I was disrespectful to a man doing his best. I got excited and threw you into a crossfire. The rest of my statement I stand behind.

You, however, deserve better. Safety in your travels good sir. – The “late Charlie Harper”

The “rest of my statement,” of course, being the part where Sheen blasted his former former series.

In a phone interview last week, Sheen bitterly vented to TMZ:

“I’m tired of lying. I’m tired of pretending like the show doesn’t suck. I’m tired of pretending like Ashton doesn’t suck. I’m tired of pretending like they’re not completely adrift …Because when you take away the anchor from your show, which they stupidly did, you go adrift. And these guys are approaching like salvage vessel.”

Charlie Sheen was fired from the series early last year after displaying erratic  behavior. In recent month he has vacillated in his view of  Two and a Half Men.  The actor appeared at the Emmys to wish the show “nothing but the best,” just days before settling a $25 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. Television and the show’s creator Chuck Lorre.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
