LOS ANGELES — Charlie Sheen is back in rehab and his hit CBS TV sitcom, “Two and a Half Men,” is on hold, one day after a 911 caller said the actor was intoxicated and in pain.
According to a person familiar with the emergency call Thursday, a neighbor of Sheen’s informed a 911 operator that the actor was “intoxicated” and complaining of abdominal and chest pains. The person familiar with the call, who was not authorized to publicly discuss details, spoke on condition of anonymity.
The 45-year-old Sheen was treated at a hospital Thursday, with his publicist citing the actor’s history of hernia problems. The publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said Sheen voluntarily entered a rehabilitation center Friday.
CBS, production company Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Chuck Lorre said in a joint statement that Sheen’s rehab has prompted a halt on production of “Two and a Half Men.” The Associated Press
