Warner Bros has discontinued production of the Two and a Half Men sitcom, citing the behaviour and remarks of series star Charlie Sheen.

"Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of Two and a Half Men for the remainder of the season," the statement said.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the move comes after Sheen ranted about the show's creator Chuck Lorre in a radio podcast.

Speaking to the Alex Jones Show, Sheen said of Lorre: "I embarrassed him in front of his children and the world by healing at a pace that this un-evolved mind cannot process. I've spent, I think, close to the last decade I don't know effortlessly and magically converted your tin can into pure gold. And the gratitude I get is this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write."
