Summary
- Arnold accused Chuck Lorre of being a bitter hack like Trump.
- He claimed Lorre took advantage of Charlie Sheen while sober.
- Lorre's new memoir, 'Sitcom,' details his 'Roseanne' tenure.

Tom Arnold has publicly criticized television producer Chuck Lorre, labeling him a "bitter hack" and an "arrogant clown" in a series of posts on X. Arnold alleged that Lorre exploited former "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen during his struggles. These remarks coincide with the release of Lorre's memoir, "Sitcom: A Memoir," which reportedly details his experiences working on the sitcom "Roseanne."
Lorre's memoir allegedly claims that Danny Jacobson was fired by Roseanne Barr for his talent and that his scripts were falsely credited to Tom Arnold. Arnold himself confirmed in a 2023 interview that he fired Lorre from "Roseanne" after two seasons, stating Lorre never forgave him. The memoir has reignited a public feud between the two.
