After Two and a Half Men star Angus T. Jones called the CBS sitcom that made him both rich and famous 'filth' and asked viewers to 'stop watching' in an online video, his former co-star Charlie Sheen is finally speaking out.
Sheen, 47, who experienced his own unravelling while starring in the hit show compared Angus's 'meltdown' to the 1995 comet, Hale Bopp.
'With Angus's Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear to me that the show is cursed,' Sheen told People magazine.

The curse of Two and a Half Men: Charlie Sheen thinks the hot show is cursed after Angus T. Jones recent plea for fans to stop watching the show
Sheen, who now stars in the FX series Anger Management, was fired from the series in March 2011 and attacked the show's creator Chuck Lorre over the next few months on stage, on Twitter and in the press.
Ashton Kutcher, 34, took over Sheen's role and remains in to date.
In the video, 19-year-old Jones talks about his Seventh Day Adventist faith: 'A lot of people don't like to think about how deceptive the enemy is.'
'There's no playing around when it comes to eternity ... People will see us and be like, "I can be a Christian and be on a show like Two and a Half Men." You can't. You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't.'

Jones - who makes $ 350,000 per episode playing Jake Harper - was seen urging fans to 'turn off' the show, saying it would damage their brains.
Jones gave a bizarre testimony where he said: 'If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching. I'm on Two and a Half Men and I don't want to be on it.'
'Please stop watching it and filling your head with filth. People say it's just entertainment.
'Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you'll have a decision to make when it comes to television and especially with what you watch on television ... it's bad news.'
The actor has played Jake Harper, the son of Jon Cryer's character, since he was 10-years-old - and has told how he turned to the church to help him following a difficult childhood and his parents divorce.
