Brooke Mueller recovering

Charlie Sheen’s wife Brooke Mueller is recovering at a treatment centre after “almost dying”, according to her stepfather.

Mueller is reportedly staying at the Two Dreams rehabilitation centre in North Carolina – but not for addiction treatment, according to her lawyer.

Instead, she is said to be there to recover from a bout of pneumonia, just weeks after the Christmas Day bust-up that led to Sheen’s arrest and charges of assault.

Now Mueller’s stepdad John Fiore said: “She is there. But it’s a recovery place, and it is in a resort setting and the picture I’d like to paint more is that she’s seeking help she wants to, she’s dealing with this.

“This is a lot to deal with and I commend her for finally, you know, she couldn’t go back to the house, what is she going to do? With all the problems and the stress? She’s getting help and her mother is with her.

“I commend her for that. The positiveness of this is that she is recognising that she needs help and she can’t do it on her own.

“The main thing is it is all about the kids. It really is. These kids are gorgeous, I miss them dearly. I was with them for a month straight and they’re just incredible kids.

“They’re young enough and hopefully this will all be behind them. The kids are still in California with Charlie and the nanny.”

Fiore added that she is “majorly stressed” and recovering from battling pneumonia and “almost dying”.
