Actor Charlie Sheen has accused the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of libel after the organisation’s national director called the actor’s remarks about his Jewish manager “borderline antisemitic”.
The star, known for the now on-hold series Two and a Half Men, has been the subject of media gossip in recent weeks for increasingly erratic behaviour, including alleged drug use and violence.
But after being accused of making an anti-Jewish slur he instructed his lawyer, Marty Singer, to demand a retraction and an apology from the ADL.
In a letter to the organisation Mr Singer said: “We are shocked and disappointed that the ADL has been disseminating malicious false statements.”
