'Dave Chappelle cost me my job': Charlie Sheen blames comedian for being fired from Two and a Half Men
He was fired from Two and a Half Men in 2011 after a very public meltdown.
But Charlie Sheen says in fact Dave Chappelle is to blame for CBS bosses axing him from the hit series.
The actor, 46, says a sketch on Chappelle's Show gave him a stomach hernia that sparked an epic argument with network executives and eventually cost him his job.
Stand-up: Charlie Sheen, pictured at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards on June 3, says he had to be hospitalised after suffering a hernia watching Chappelle's Show
In an interview with Playboy, the actor reveals he was hospitalised before the feud not for partying too hard, but because he sustained a stomach injury from laughing so hard during a skit.
He told the magazine: 'Everybody thought I had OD’d (overdosed) or whatever. No, I had a f****** hernia blow out of my stomach. I called the paramedics, because that's what you do, right?
Gut-busting: Sheen is clearly a big fan of Dave Chappelle's work. The comedian is pictured here doing stand-up in July, 2011
The skit that did it all: Chappelle played a blind white supremacist who did not know he was black in the sketch that sent Sheen laughing to the hospital
'It was because of a Dave Chappelle sketch.'
The health scare, he said, led to an argument with his TV bosses that eventually led to him leaving the show, later to be replaced by Ashton Kutcher.
He subsequently engaged in a string of bizarre actions, including high-profile partying, dating several 'goddesses' and a disastrous stage tour.
Fired! Sheen said his hospitalisation led to an epic argument with CBS executives, who eventually axed him from Two and a Half Men
Sheen recently admitted in retrospect he was in 'total denial' about his personal situation, which included losing custody of his three-year-old twin sons Bob and Max.
But the actor, who has recently finished filming new FX comedy, Anger Management, says he's done playing characters like Two and a Half Men's Charlie Harper.
He told Playboy: 'I’m done playing a drunken, womanizing, immature character. This time I’m playing an adult. The guy on Anger Management is professionally accomplished, a former ballplayer learning to overcome his anger issues.'
Anger Management is slated to premiere June 28 on FX.

Recalling the scene, he explained: 'Remember the scene where he’s a blind white supremacist who doesn’t know he’s black? It’s f****** hilarious. I'd never seen it, and I laughed myself into a hernia. That is 100 per cent true. It'’s his fault. There you go. Dave Chappelle cost me my job.'
