'Two and a Half Men' star Angus T. Jones calls the show 'filth'
An actor from the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men" is publicly bashing the show.
Sound familiar?
Charlie Sheen was fired from "Two and a Half Men" in 2011 when it appeared the actor was having a public meltdown, during which time Sheen made negative comments about the show and its producers, including calling the show a "pukefest."

But this time it's Angus T. Jones doing the bashing, calling the show he grew up on "filth."
"Please don't watch 'Two and a Half Men,'" he said. "I'm on 'Two and a Half Men' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth."
Jones said this in a YouTube video posted by TheForerunner777. It seems the show does not match his newfound Christian beliefs.
"You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that," he said.
Jones, 19, has played Jake Harper on the show since 2003 and was named one of Hollywood's richest kids in 2008, when he made $1.2 million per season.
A representative for CBS told People.com they are "declining comment."
Do you think Jones will leave the show? Should he?
