Update: Warner Bros. sends a scathing “you're fired” letter to the Sheen camp, after the jump.

The letter also claims that showrunner Chuck Lorre — the target of Sheen's recent anti-semitic rant — was actually the most adamant about trying to help the star:

Your client has been engaged in dangerously self-destructive conduct and appears to be very ill. For months before the suspension of production, Mr. Sheen's erratic behavior escalated while his condition deteriorated. His declining condition undermined the production in numerous and significant ways. Now, the entire world knows Mr. Sheen's condition from his alarming outbursts over just the last few weeks. Warner Bros., CBS, and Chuck Lorre have done everything within their power to get Mr. Sheen the help he so badly and obviously needs …
