Selma Blair is threatening Charlie Sheen and Lionsgate Entertainment with a retaliation lawsuit after getting fired on "Anger Management."
Selma criticized Charlie for being a slacker. She repeatedly complained to the crew that everyone had to sit around and wait while Charlie sat in his trailer and learned his lines.
Charlie got wind of Selma's beef and she believes that's when the die was cast. Sources added Selma's demanding the $1.2 million she would have made if she would have continued working -- and if she doesn't get it she's filing a lawsuit.
Sources also added that the sitcom has 12 scenes per show, and Selma was only in 3 or 4. Charlie was in all 12 and required to memorize 44 to 48 pages of dialogue per show. One source said candidly, "When you work 12 hours a day and have 3 girlfriends at home, it's hard to memorize all the lines for tomorrow."
Closing it out, the plan was to phase Selma out over 8 episodes. After Charlie heard Selma was bitching about him, "That process was accelerated."
We're told lawyers for Lionsgate and Selma are currently talking and trying to reach a settlement.
