Actor Charlie Sheen is suing a candidate for Flower Mound mayor, Itamar Gelbman
Actor Charlie Sheen is suing Itamar Gelbman, a former Flower Mound Town Council member who is running for mayor and once served as Sheens security guard.
The Two and a Half Men star is attempting to collect nearly $129,000 in legal fees accrued when a judge ruled in his favor after Gelbman sued Sheen for breach of contract. The lawsuit was first reported by The Cross Timbers Gazette, a publication covering Denton County.
The saga began when Gelbman approached Sheen, with the help of ex-major league baseball player Lenny Dykstra, to become his security guard in 2014, according to court documents. Sheens longtime attorney, Martin Singer, told Gelbman he had to approve all contracts because Sheen was in a state of chronic inebriation, according to the documents.
Singer hired Gelbman for the at-will position, but Sheen terminated his employment a month later, the documents state, prompting the mayoral candidates lawsuit.
