Back in early 2011 when Charlie Sheen went on a rampage trashing Two And A Half Men, the brunt of his attacks were directed at the show’s co-creator/executive producer Chuck Lorre. Almost two years later, Sheen is back at it, blaming Lorre for his former co-star Angus T. Jones‘ controversial video testimonial for Forerunner Christian Church, in which the young actor referred to Men as “filth” and urged viewers to “stop watching it.” “Obviously, not having been there for some time, the Angus T. Jones that I knew and still love is not the same guy I saw on YouTube yesterday,” Sheen told TMZ. “I dare anyone to spend 10 years in the laugh-track that is Chuck Lorre’s hive of oppression and not suffer some form of an emotional tsunami.”

For his part, Jones never took shots at Lorre in his comments on Men. And in his statement about the video remarks issued yesterday, Jones personally acknowledged Lorre as one of the people “responsible for what has been one of the most significant experiences in my life to date.” Here is a photo of the two a month ago when Jones attended the release party for Lorre’s new book.

Though to be fair saying it was a significant event does not necessarily mean it was a good event….Just saying. For example I was in a severe car accident a couple of months back and that was a significant event in my life though I wouldn’t say it was good (I think I could have done without it). See just by saying something is significant does not mean it was good.
Good point. And even more poignant in light of the fact that you got paid 300K each week as a result of that significant event.
Absolutely true and correct.
I found Angus’ weird uncomfortable back-peddling on saying “black people”, and more cringe-inducing than his slamming the show, which, let’s face it, does “fill your head with filth.” It’s almost like he’s just core-dumping unfiltered thoughts among people he believes are trusted, and it’s clear they’re taking full advantage. If these Forerunner parasites really cared about Angus Jones they wouldn’t have splashed this video testimony onto the web without some more considerate editing.
Jones may have stated that Lorre has been “responsible for what has been one of the most significant experiences in my life to date.”
But he hasn’t stated that it was a good experience, how can someone who has crafted something (the quality of which I’m not speaking on as its irrelevant) not take offense when one of his workers of 10 years whom he has known for more than half of his (Angus T. Jones) life belittles his work.
He has come to the ‘realisation’ that 2.5 men is ‘filth’ after becoming heavily involved with a church for ‘several months’…
He has no intention of quitting or he would have done so, I’m quite sure he will keep cashing all royalty checks that come his way too. I just hope he comes to his senses quickly because any church that would convince someone to kamikaze their career to spread their word doesn’t deserve your time and effort.
Good luck to you Angus, I hope spirituality will fulfil you. Just don’t let the world or a church drag you down, make your own decisions and be the man you would be proud to be.
Give it up Charlie. Why rehash the past by taking another shot at Lorre? You should be more concerned with your current gig and trying not to spiral out of control again and have that blow up in your face too.
I thought Stephen Baldwin put it pretty well in his defense of Angus’ awakening, even if Baldwin is looking a little brainwashed himself.
It’s easy to denounce your career when you’re set for life. ($300k an episode for that kid? Yeesh.)
Anyone else see how these actors courting the Christian audience are just setting up job security for the rest of their lives? When you publicly take a stand “for Jesus,” the faith-based tv and movie market will keep you employed ad infinitum (or until you’re caught blowing a male hooker in a truck-stop bathroom). Just ask Kirk Cameron, Stephen Baldwin, or other no-talents that just happened to announce their faith when their careers had bottomed out.
Kirk Cameron and Stephen Baldwin are not no talents. Being a Christian in hollywood is like being a republican in hollywood. You lose friends and jobs. Two and a half men is garbage/filth. First season it was on was funny but it went downhill from there.
Not so sure about Lorre anymore – true, he’s done some of my favorite series over the years, but another actor from HIS show … weird, right? maybe it’s soemthing in the pipe there.
I am a Charlie Sheen fan. Have been since Major League. But seriously, how can nobody see that this kid grew up in Charlie’s shadow, and is now emulating him in a way?
The show’s been on too long, pure and simple. What you’re hearing is a show that should been cancelled long ago…at LEAST with the departure of Sheen.
It’s just like war crimes and abuse, stuff you’re hearing about from Afghanistan, ’cause America’s just been over there too long.
Two and a 1/2 Men has been on as long as we’ve been in Afghanistan, think about it.
Nothing in life is insignificant. Maybe TWO has shown him the kind of man he doesn’t want to be. There was a comedian that said when his father saw someone behaving stupidly on TV. His father would simply say, “See that guy! Don’t be like him.” Nothing is complete usless. It can always serve as a bad example.
they made him kiss the Smelly Circus-that would drive any decent person to madness-she is gross and the whole storyline were she is the kids girlfriend but tries to crawl in the sac with Aston and the fact that it was Smelly just makes it even more disgusting- the skankky way she dresses and the poser dyke hairdo-was she in character?? because it just seemed like Smelly Circus crashing 2 and 1/2 men not like she was fitting into any role on the show-they should just give her Angus’ job and put the final nail in the coffin of that show
