'Big Bang Theory' stars were 'outraged' over request to take pay cut for new co-stars, Chuck Lorre claims

Chuck Lorre is spilling all his secrets in his new memoir.

The prolific television producer and writer wrote about his life and his many decades in the industry in his new memoir, "Sitcom," in which he gave tons of behind-the-scenes stories from some of his most popular TV shows.

Whether it was his final days working with Charlie Sheen , him going to bat with the network over casting choices or shocking refusals from cast members regarding salaries, Lorre didn't hold back.

Here are some of the biggest bombshells from his memoir.

MACKENZIE PHILLIPS SAYS SHE AND VALERIE BERTINELLI DRANK WINE, DID COCAINE DURING SITCOM BREAKS One of Lorre's most successful sitcoms is "The Big Bang Theory," which had a large ensemble cast.

In his memoir, Lorre recalled bringing in Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch towards the end of season three and upgrading them to series regulars in the fourth season, noting without them, "the show would likely have run out of gas after seven, maybe eight seasons." After a while, he remembered the network getting pressure to raise the episodic fees for Bialik and Rauch, noting TV executives Les Moonves and Bruce Rosenblum approached the main cast, who were earning $1 million an episode plus profit points, "to ask them to take a 10 percent cut in pay to accommodate that raise." "I assumed they’d quickly agree, you know, all for one, one for all," he wrote.

"That effusive attitude of gratitude actors display at award shows.

Wrong again.

They were outraged that they would even be asked to take a small cut in order to reward the two newer cast members.

Moonves and Rosenblum had to slink out of the room, scrotally impaired." Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for stars Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg for comment.

Lorre and Charlie Sheen worked together on " Two and a Half Men " for eight seasons before the actor's behavior led to his exit.

In his memoir, Lorre explained that the show "was a blast to do" for the first seven seasons, but "it all began to unravel" during season eight, when Sheen "started calling in sick all the time." "The typical excuse was food poisoning, usually bad clams," Lorre wrote.

"There were a lot of emergency dental appointments.

Once I was informed he would not be attending rehearsal because his BIC lighter had exploded and burned off his eyelashes.
