Charlie Sheen has dismissed rumours he's embroiled in a salary dispute with TV bosses - insisting he will leave hit sitcom TWO AND A HALF MEN gracefully if his contract is not renewed.
The actor, whose contract with the show expires at the end of the latest season, was recently rumoured to have quit the show after failing to agree a pay deal with chiefs at America's CBS network.
But Sheen, who wrapped the final show of season seven on Friday (09Apr10), is adamant that reports of a dispute over his salary are not accurate, insisting he will accept TV bosses' decision if they choose not to include him in another season.
In a statement released to People.com, Sheen says, "All of the numbers reported in the press are false. Claims from 'inside sources' regarding offers from the studio as well as my salary, on their best day, are without merit. If tonight's show is the end for me as Charlie Harper, so be it. Another journey has begun. I take from the experience 161 shows filled with a kaleidoscope of amazing experiences, memories, friendships and gratitude."
