Sheen issues half-apology to Jon Cryer

Charlie Sheen still continues to bash his former "Two and a Half Men" boss Chuck Lorre -- but when it comes to costar Jon Cryer, Sheen is rethinking his negative comments.

"I'll apologize to Jon right now," Sheen, 45, said Wednesday morning on K-EARTH 101 radio station. "I was in a mood and I threw that out to somebody. I didn't know they -- well I kinda knew they were gonna print it. Yeah, I knew they were gonna print it. I confuse myself."

But to avoid any confusion, Sheen clarifies, "It's a little bit of a half-apology. An apol."

Explaining the motive behind Tuesday's rant that called out Cryer, 45, for being "a turncoat, a traitor and a troll," Sheen says, "the reason I was upset is because I didn't get a text or a phone call or anything saying, 'Hey, dude, back off, I got your back, or you got my back or there's a back involved.' "

Cryer has yet to publicly comment on Sheen's recent string of events, but sources say he has indeed reached out to his costar.
