"Two and a Half Men" ex lead actor Charlie Sheen had millions of TV fans and those who followed him on Twitter cheering his manic antics on, pouring money into his pockets by way of sold-out shows on his tour, booked after his dramatic break up with showrunner Chuck Lorre

After tonight's opener of his Tiger Blood tour in Detroit, the fans have allegedly been duped and ripped off according to numerous eyewitness reports.

Comedian Bill Maher called it March 18 on his HBO show "Real Time with Bill Maher," talking to panel guest Richard Belzer as they noted that being a stand up and entertaining by one's wits onstage was not going to be easy for Sheen, with his apparent lack of real entertaining material to offer a crowd.

Sheen's crazy life and hyped up sold-out tour will now become a nightmare for the tour promoter Live Nation and all the venues who bought the show, as irate fans have taken to Twitter to share their anger over the event. 

The Hollywood Reporter claimed that an estimated audience of 5,000 people at the Fox Theatre wound up booing and walking out on the struggling actor who ran out of gas and essentially told the crowd they knew what they were buying.

“My Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat is Not an Option,” was described as more a cult experience and less a one man show or "insider" theater event that neither entertained nor illuminated anything of interest to the crowd.

In the end, it was boredom that woke the crowd up, initially sated with the Tiger's Blood kool-aid which wore off, revealing Sheen to be a hollow avatar of what once was a respectable actor.
