Hanes can't wait to get its hands off of Charlie Sheen.
The underwear company has halted TV commercials featuring Sheen, 44, following his Dec. 25 arrest for domestic violence against his wife Brooke Mueller.
In no uncertain terms, Hanes spokesperson Matt Hall tells UsMagazine.com, "Hanes is not running the Hanes television commercials featuring Charlie Sheen, and those commercials will not run again."
Remember Charlie's stripper scandal?
Hall notes that their decision to drop the star from its promotions was immediate: "The commercials were suspended effective Dec. 28, the first date possible after Mr. Sheen's Christmas Day arrest."
The rep apologizes to those who may come across the accused actor in upcoming print ads: "There are a few trade advertisements featuring Mr. Sheen scheduled to run this spring. Unfortunately, the production schedule of those publications do not allow us to pull those ads."
Look back on how Charlie Sheen's bitter battle with ex-wife Denise Richards
Sheen had been featured in his skivvies for the company's "Comfortsoft" line.
Hall did not comment on the status of Sheen's remaining contract with the apparel company.

Monday's court date between lawyers for Sheen and Mueller, 32, was postponed due to calendar conflicts.

In a 911 call Christmas Day, Mueller claimed that her husband tried to kill her. But her mother, Moira Fiore, told E! News that Mueller "wants to reconcile" with Sheen.

29Charlie Sheen has shown his aggression towards woman many times. I'm glad to see someone walk away from this "star" - he needs to take responsibility for his actions.
*So what if she had been drinking?????* LMAO she changed her story and there was other people there. let not jump into conclusions. Let the court handle this.
Isn't true that a man is innocence unless they are found guilty. Well Hanes found Charlie guilty. Before the ink dried on the arrest paper report. I'm glad I haven't got in trouble, cause they may make me stop waring hanes.
Interesting how Charlie was so unappologetic and unleashed tremendous aggression at Brooke -- and all the stories many suspect he told to the tabloids about her. Now Hanes has dropped him, Denise's and past gf's allegations are being reviewed in a new light, he isn't getting the celebrity treatment in Aspen (judge won't allow him to phone in to the hearing), Brooke's mother and brother haven't come out in strong support of Brooke's marriage to him and his trying to paint Brooke as the sole problem is backfiring. It seems like Charlie overplayed his hand and needs to think before he abuses/intimidates. What a very very small man. No more great rep and highest paid TV actor. It's about time he reflected on his behavior and learns once and for all that he isn't above the law anymore and abusing women is a crime.
I'm with you, Star24. Very well said! What about CBS? Is anyone pressing them for comment? They need to boot Charlie from 2 1/2 Men. Jon Cryer could handle being the star -- and with some beefed up roles for the actress who plays the maid, Jake and Judith. Let Charlies character get married to Chelsea, and then they go on a honeymoon and never come back -- or decide to stay overseas for a while. Someone who has such a history of abuse and intimidation against women shouldn't be featured on a major network. Get Charlie Sheen the hell off prime-time TV -- and any other acting gig for that matter.
Re: Fed up with drunks at 8am The police report stated that she had red marks on her neck and that a switch blade was found in the open position in Sheen's bag. So what if she had been drinking????? My mother suffered depression and drank to escape and numb the physical and emotional pain from my abusive father. Apparently 10 years ago she had a bit of a past -that was all Charlie could dig up to give to the media - as all young people do. But to me the drinking, and being talked into staying "it will never happen again" is both deja vu to me and evidence that she is unhappy and trying to numb her situation. Thank you again Hanes!!!!!!!! I asked 400 friends to purchase your products, and have asked them to forward to their friends. Thank you for standing up against Domestic violence!!!!!
They were both drunk her breathizer test was a .08 and his was less.. so fed up with how fast these sponsors give up. SHE IS OUT THERE WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD NOT HOLED UP AT HOME AFRAID OF CHARLIE.. SO MUCH IS BEING SAID THAT TELL US BROOKE SHOW US THE BRUISES THAT HE CAUSED AND SHOW US THE PHOTOS OF THE POLICE STATION ....HE WOULD NOT BE OUT ON BAIL RIGHT NOW IF HE WAS A REPEAT OFFENDER..
prison near you! Do you think another prisoner will make him his b*itch? Payback is a b*itch!! And then his career is toast. Are there any examples of other actors who were wife beaters, served time behind bars and were then able to resurrect their career?
Is there any doubt that we've read the words of a drunk or drugged Charlie Sheen via "Robert"? If so, it gives us a real sense of what is going thru this guys head. I, too, am glad Hanes dropped Charlie and made their feelings about him crystal clear -- well done, Hanes!! Hopefully 2 1/2 men will follow suit. Me and hubby LOVED that show and him in it -- but can't watch it anymore now that we know what he did to Brooke. Not to mention how he and his team immediately fed the media with all kinds of dirt on Brooke, and somehow intimidated her to give in. Charlie Sheen is a slimeball and in my opinion is 1000x worse than Chris Brown. CBS - will you make a public statement? You really should ala Hanes!
Went out and purchased some Hanes for husband and I. Thank you Hanes for standing up. Domestic violence is unacceptable under any circumstance. I hope that everyone will support companies who stand up against Domestic Violence. My family will not be purchasing products from advertisers on 2.5 men. BTW, I think that Sheen is the 1/2 man on the show.
@Kelly You are wrong about Charlie not trying to hide his past mistakes. One of his past girlfriends took him to court for hitting her and he paid her off so that she wouldn't continue with the charges that were being laid against him. Also if you go and review Denise Richards 17 Page Declaration on "TheSmokingGun' Web site it states that Charlie told Denise that is she revealed things she knew about him that she wouldn't make it to court or that he would kill her and things like that. Charlie hides a lot of things and it would surprise me if he paid people off and blackmailed others so that they would keep quiet about the things they know about him.
This is a smart move on the part of Hanes. People would be upset if Sheen got a pass due to the color of his skin and Chris Brown did not. They both need some anger management classes.
I love men who beat me up. I hate Denise because I am jealous of her.
Good for Hanes. Any man that beats up women or children have no place in society.
Charlie Sheen has always been known as an alcoholic woman abuser. He used to hire prostitutes for some rough romps. The dumb tv show he is on did not clean up his image only made people forget for a little while.
Let the guy get a fair trial first. His wife apparently wishes she hadn't called 911 now, not to mention she was drunk at the time. Nobody can stand Denise Richards either. She wants to bad mouth him by threatening to "tell it all", but what about her and Richie Sambora? She's no angel either. People need to clean out their own houses first!! Charlie Sheen has never tried to hide what he has done, unlike some people.
Good! I was hoping Hanes would drop him. If people can drop Chris Brown & Tiger Woods then Charlie should be too. It's only fair! I hope this isn't the end for Charlie and that this is just the start of it and that other's will drop him too. :D
Good! I was hoping Hanes would drop him. If people can drop Chris Brown & Tiger Woods then Charlie should be too. It's only fair. I hope this isn't the end for Charlie and hope other's drop his too. :D
Robert is Charile. Anyone who sticks up for this woman beating loser would only be him and people he is paying. Who's bright idea was it to give Sheen his own show anyway? His face looks like an old hairy foot.
Sucks to be you!
