Charlie Sheen’s personal life is a complicated wreck.
The Two and a Half Men star, who recently pled guilty to assaulting his wife Brooke Mueller in Aspen, Colorado has been a headline fixture for weeks with hotel rooom bust-ups and porn star hook-ups that have everyone wondering what CBS plans to do. At the winter press tour TCA for CBS, programming chief Nina Tassler said:
“We have a high level of concern – how could we not?”
“On a basic human level, there is concern – this man is a father, he has children, he has a family. Obviously, there’s concern on a personal level,” Tassler said.
“But you can’t look at it simplistically,” she added.
The problem for the honchos at his show – he is showing up to work, performing his lines and is the star of the number one rated comedy on television.
“Charlie is a professional. He comes to work. He does his job extremely well. . . . It’s very complicated,” Tassler continued, insisting that she has “tremendous trust and respect” for how Warner Bros., which produces the show, has been “managing the situation.”
“On a personal level, we’re concerned – on a professional level, he does his job and he does it well and the show’s a hit, and that’s all I have to say. Next question.”
So until something changes like the ratings drop or Sheen is so messed up at work he can’t say his lines, everything will be continue with the status quo.
The end of the filming season must be freaking out the network. Sheen will find himself in a host of problems without his day job to give him some stability.
