'Two and a Half Men' Crew Warned to Keep Quiet

I can understand the natural inclination to feel sorry for individuals who make millions of dollars going to work for a few hours, five days a week. I can also understand that Charlie Sheen is far more important than anyone else who is related to the show. I mean, what in the world would we do if he's not spitting out some lifeless, monotone phrase about his dick that a few very untalented writers came up with?

Now - here in the real word where most of us don't give a flying freak about Charlie being a 40+ year old man who can't seem to pull it together because he's a whiny, spoiled celebrity....

When the drunk wants to take some time off, who pays the bills of everyone else working on the show?

Let's stick to the subject: if you could make 3-4 times what you make in a years work with one pic or one story wouldn't you be tempted to spill. After all some of these "super stars " aren't the most amicable so I would definitely do the math. If you don't want a public life don't work in a public job.

I'd blab my butt off but I'd tell them not to use my name.

it sells newspapers and gets us publicity for the show of course I'd tell!

Cant stand Charlie Sheen.
Everything this egocentric plays in, ends up type casting. The guy is a sleeze...always has been.

Most important, he couldn't care less who he hurts. His behavior was a FU to everyone he works with.
Yet in order to save thier own job, they have to protect him, which is another FU.

My father was a very wise man. He told us children "If you cannot say something nice about a person, then say nothing at all. Put yourselves in that person's shoes". What a beloved man, he was. Of course, someone else originated the saying, but he always said it.

What is a "sober coach" ? Is this a bad joke? Just another richie having to have a babysitter. My friend has been in AA for years and never heard of a "sober coach"

I don't know Charlie Sheen personally but I do have a lot of personal experience with alcoholic/drug addicted family members. It's not easy for anyone involved and having co-workers spreading personal information, let alone vindictive gossip, around is not helpful to anyone. People who are alcoholic/addicts are miserable and unhappy, no matter how famous they are.

Outside of the fact that the people who work with Charlie Sheen may actually care about him, they are dependent on him for their bread and butter. No Charlie, no jobs. (And that includes all the camera, lighting, script, go-fers, and other staff that work on the show.)

I agree that Charlie is getting off easy. This guy has been given so many chances and it looks like he gets yet another one. Some valid points have been made here.....
looks like he's getting special treatment.

he puts everyones job on the line on the show acting like a fool, and now the network wants everyone to keep their mouth shut.. Sheen needs to grow up, he ain't all that...

And yes ...anyone who seeks to gain from knowledge gained while "on the job" should be terminated immediately and sued as well...If they refuse to abide by the agreement release them...Unions can go jump
