It has been almost a year since Charlie Sheen’s very public meltdown, which ultimately lead to his departure from the CBS comedy hit Two and a Half Men. Much was made out of the relationship between Sheen and the shows creator/producer/writer Chuck Lorre. Sheen offered to fight Lorre, and essentially called him every name in the book.
Fast forward to today where Sheen seems to be sober and on the road back to success. Sheen has said that if he sees Lorre, he would like to give him a hug and mend fences. Today at the Television Critics Association in Pasadena, California, while promoting Two and a Half Men, Lorre said he wishes Sheen well. Fellow producer Lee Aronsohn added that much of the on set feud between Sheen and Lorre was greatly exaggerated. (Click on the audio player to hear Chuck Lorre & Lee Aronsohn )
