Charlie Sheen Pays Tribute To 'Two & A Half Men' Co-Star Conchata Ferrell After Her Death

Charlie Sheen has spoken out after hearing of Conchata Ferrell‘s passing this week.

The two actors starred together on CBS’ Two & A Half Men for years as Charlie and housekeeper Berta.

“an absolute sweetheart, a consummate pro, a genuine friend, a shocking and painful loss,” Charlie wrote in poem form on Twitter, remembering the actress.

He continued, “Berta, your housekeeping was a tad suspect, your ‘people’ keeping was perfect.”

Charlie also added multiple heart emojis around her initial.

Conchata passed away on Monday, October 12 from complications following a cardiac arrest. She was 77 years old and had a long list of credits her name.

Over the summer, Conchata suffered a heart attack and was on a respirator at a long term health care facility.

Jon Cryer Fires Back at Politician Matt Gaetz Over 'Two & A Half Men' Diss

Jon Cryer is standing up for his role in the long-running series, Two and a Half Men, against politician Matt Gaetz.

The Twitter spat spiraled after Mr. Gaetz saw that Jon had shared given support for his opponent, Florida’s Democratic candidate Phil Ehrin.

“”Rep. @mattgaetz invited a white supremacist to the State of the Union, attempted to intimidate a federal witness, and endorsed a sociopathic bigot who applauded the deaths of migrants for congress,” Jon‘s tweet read, before his support of Ehrin was revealed.

After seeing Jon‘s tweet, Mr. Gaetz wrote that “Charlie Sheen totally carried two and a half men”, a dig at Jon‘s role of Alan, who he starred as for the show’s entirety.

The spat didn’t end there, as Jon defended his role in a follow up post.

“Is that why, after he left, it lasted for 4 more years and I won an Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy?” he wrote.

“What’s an Emmy? An award Hollywood gives itself? I win elections,” Mr. Gaetz replied back.

Jon let the fight go then, seeing it was not worth his time. However, he did clarify that his comment was not “meant as a slam on Charlie.”

“He was undeniably the star of the show. And a fantastic actor,” he wrote. “Despite his issues, we had many more highs than lows. But you can’t say he ‘carried’ a show that lasted four years without him.”

This other star got into a Twitter spat with another conservative correspondent earlier in the summer…

Jon Cryer Looks Back at Working with Charlie Sheen Amid His 'Internet S--tstorm'

Jon Cryer is opening up about what it was like to work with Charlie Sheen back when the actor was going through an “internet s–tstorm.”

Charlie was fired from their series Two and a Half Men because of his “dangerously self-destructive conduct.” Ashton Kutcher replaced him for the final four season of the show, starting with season nine.

Jon only has good things to say about working with Charlie.

Charlie and I really hit it off. We had a great first few years on that show,” Jon said on PeopleTV’s Couch Surfing. “It was incredibly smooth, we had a lovely time, it was working really well.”

Jon says that he believes that Charlie started to use drugs again when his marriage to Denise Richards ended. He said, “At first he could handle it, and he was still incredibly professional — and still lovely, by the way, to everybody on set — but you could just see that stuff was wearing on him.”

“It was one of the first internet s—storms, plus there’s the fact that all of our jobs are tied into this guy, and we’re all his friends. It was very, very strange and [there were] aspects of it that I absolutely hated, but you know, I’m thankful for the years that were great,” he added.

Adam Sandler, Colton Underwood & More Team Up for Celebrity Softball Benefit Game!

Adam Sandler strikes a pose alongside Milwaukee Brewers player Christian Yelich while attending the charity softball game to benefit California Strong at Pepperdine University on Sunday (January 12) in Malibu, Calif.

The guys were joined by The Bachelor‘s Colton Underwood, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tiffany Haddish, Paula Patton, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson, Machine Gun Kelly, Camille Kostek, Charlie Sheen, Eli Roth and Chris Harrison at the benefit game, where they raised money for those affected by the Borderline Shooting in Thousand Oaks, and fires across the state.

Also in attendance at the game were Rob Lowe and his songs John and Matthew Lowe, football players Shawne Merriman and Jared Goff, and baseball players Cody Bellinger, Jack Flaherty, Ryan Braun, Robert Horry and Quinn Cook, as well as former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell.

“I was born and raised out here and I don’t think anybody had ever really experienced anything like that, especially not in such close proximity to each other,” Christian Yelich recently told People. “I think it was maybe a 24-hour period, if that, between the shooting and the fires. We just felt the need to give back.”

Charlie Sheen Was Supposed to Compete on 'DWTS' This Season, But Dropped Out for This Reason

Charlie Sheen said he was planning to do Dancing with the Stars this season, and even planned on beginning rehearsals, but something stopped him.

“I was very flattered by ABC and their offer, but at the end of the day, I have two left feet and I just can’t dance,” Charlie, 54, told Us Weekly.

A source added to the publication, “When there is a big star like that, they will get some sort of deal for a pilot with ABC,” which his publicist confirmed. “ABC made a very generous offer [for a pilot series],” his publicist said, adding, “it was contingent upon his participation on Dancing With the Stars.”
