Production on popular TV show Two And A Half Men has stopped for the rest of the season following the recent escapades of its star, Charlie Sheen.
Sheen, the highest paid actor on US television, had already forced production to be suspended last month when he began a drug rehab programme, after being hospitalised following a wild party at his home.
Now comments he reportedly made about the show's creater, Chuck Lorre, have led to production being halted.
TMZ reported that Sheen challenged Lorre to a fight, calling him "a stupid, stupid little man and a pu**y punk that I never want to be like."
Hours after the comments were broadcast, CBS and Warner Bros announced production of Two And A Half Men was being halted, saying "Sheen's statements, conduct and condition" had influenced their decision.
Sheen has already hit back at the decision to stop production in a letter.
"I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong," he said.
CBS and Warner Bros have not said whether production will resume next season.
