Charlie Sheen doesn't seem like the kind of person who would back away from a fight or try to make amends to anyone. And his relationship with Chuck Lorre, who famously earned his ire after CBS fired him from Two and a Half Men, has been among his most turbulent to date.

Yet over a decade after the scandal that erupted between the two men after Charlie Sheen was fired from the show, which culminated in a (now settled) $100 million lawsuit against Chuck Lorre for contract interference, Charlie Sheen and Chuck Lorre appear to have buried the hatched.

They are now working on a new comedy together and the bad blood between them seems to have been finally spent.

Chuck Lorre Fired Charlie Sheen From Two And A Half Men

By the time he became involved with Two and a Half Men, Chuck Lorre had already earned the title of king of sitcoms. The show was on air for 12 seasons and Charlie Sheen was one of the mainstays of the show for eight of them.

However, things took a turn for the worse and Charlie Sheen found himself in Chuck Lorre's bad books during the eighth season. This happened as the star became involved in a series of questionable, disturbing, and controversial situations, including getting arrested in December 2009 after a fight with Brooke Mueller, his wife at the time.

It was CBS, the network airing Two and a Half Men, that handed Charlie Sheen his 11-page termination letter, but the actor held Chuck Lorre, as the producer of the show, directly liable for getting him fired and became livid.

I violently hate [Chuck Lorre]," Sheen told TMZ in 2012. "He's a stupid, stupid little man, and I'd never want to be like... That's me being polite," he continued, not hiding his vitriol.

While the show continued for another four years before CBS decided to move away from it, Charlie Sheen never returned to it. His feud with Chuck Lorre, however, continued.

Nevertheless, when the feud finally ended, Charlie Sheen spoke about how things could have been different.
