NEWSCharlie Sheen Fired by Warner Bros. for Committing a Felony?

Warner Bros. reportedly sent Charlie Sheen's lawyer a lettering explaining that the actor was terminated because he committed a felony involving "moral turpitude."
The letter, obtained by TMZ, is reportedly 11 pages long and states, "Your client has been engaged in dangerously self-destructive conduct and appears to be very ill."
TMZ reports that the letter then lists examples and claims, "Warner Bros. had an airplane waiting" to take him to a treatment facility ... but Charlie would have none of it.
According to Warner Bros. there is a clause in Charlie's contract that says he can be fired if he commits "a felony offense involving moral turpitude."
"There is ample evidence supporting Warner Bros. reasonable good faith opinion that Mr. Sheen has committed felony offenses involving moral turpitude (including but not limited to furnishing of cocaine to others as part of the self-destructive lifestyle he has described publicly) that have 'interfered with his ability to fully and completely render all material services required' under the agreement," the letter states.
And Warner Bros. is reserving its right to take legal action against Charlie, whose lawyer has demanded they pay for the eight canceled episodes.
