Just minutes after Charlie Sheen's live interview with TMZ wrapped, his publicist has called it quits.
Sheen, who has brought his verbal hurricane of "winning" to a number of media outlets this morning, appeared on the site to continue his tirade with Mike Walters without the benefit of editing.
Following the interview, Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, told TMZ, "I worked with Charlie Sheen for a long time and I care about him very much; however, at this time, I'm unable to work effectively as his publicist and have respectfully resigned."
Sheen, who has brought his verbal hurricane of "winning" to a number of media outlets this morning, appeared on the site to continue his tirade with Mike Walters without the benefit of editing.
Following the interview, Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfield, told TMZ, "I worked with Charlie Sheen for a long time and I care about him very much; however, at this time, I'm unable to work effectively as his publicist and have respectfully resigned."
Rosenfield, who also represents George Clooney and Robert De Niro, shot down reports that Sheen was either retiring or entering rehab shortly before the TMZ interview ended.
Upon hearing Rosenfield's decision, Sheen called his ex-publicist a "p**sy," saying, "He's not allowed to quit, so you're fired."
As for the future of his career, Sheen told his fans and colleagues, "I hope you're all preparing your apologies."

Of course Whoopie Goldberg (on The View) was defending him today. Saying..."Hey, that's just him" and actually trying to blame Chuck Lorre for this mess.

If you are so out of control that your publicist quits, that's a huge red flag. Just ask Linzey.
It doesn't surprise me if Whoopie takes up for Charlie. You can't blame the publicist from quitting if Charlie doesn't listen to any advice. He just keeps looking more and more like a fool.
Charlie Sheen had everything going for him, but he is a drugie and an idiot. He is not nearly as great as he thinks he is. I hope they do not hire him back. If they do ,I surely will not be
watching it. He is the most arrogant person on tv.

Marilyn, you almost had it right. But Obama is still on TV...........way too much!!!!
hwnay, another racist jerk. What has Obama got to do with Sheen. Obama won, get over it!!!
I feel very sorry for poor Charlie. He can't help himself, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth. If he ever sobers up he will be crying bitter tears. Drugs and alcohol are controlling him right now. He can't even look the interviewer in the face. He is jumping all over the place and rambling.

He needs a silver foot up his candy azz!
hey charlie reach around and pull that ego filled head out of your arse

Mr Rosenfield, that's the best move you've ever made in your life! Run, don't walk. Charlie is a trainwreck....a trainwreck with a colossal ego. I wouldn't want his nerve in my tooth.

Sheen is now a proven bona fide whack job. His publicist had to have known this for years and finally has an escape hatch open. When you listen to his bizarre rantings, it's no wonder he is not able to stay in a stable relationship for long...with ANYBODY!
Apologies? No, Charlie. They are probably preparing their EULOGIES. Clean up your act a**hole! The whole world is convinced you're either a crackhead, insane or both. And every time you open that gaping hole in your face, you prove them right!

hahahahahaha spot on.
It is very sad that many in the media are exploiting this situation. He is most definitely a very very sick individual. To continue to promote anything that he has to say, is really criminal on the part of any of these journalists.

Exactly! Why are they giving this drug addict a forum to speak? Nobody cares!
Journalist are lying crooks by definition, everything and everyone is exploited and blown all out of proportion. One never knows if they are reading the truth or some figment of the journalist imagination.
Anyone that chooses to be a celebrity journalist has to be a gossip monger to begin with. Its the most disgusting profession on earth. Worse than prostitution even.

I think he's finally about fallen off the cliff or just teetering on the edge. It just gets more bizzare every day.
