“They both have drinking problems,” said a source close to the situation. “And neither of them should be drinking.”
Mueller has been arrested twice previously, once on an alcohol charge and the other time on a cocaine charge.
EXCLUSIVE: Sheen Attacked Mueller Previously
Sheen and Mueller both had “sober minders” with them on Christmas, and both consumed alcohol before their physical altercation. Mueller told cops that Sheen held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her.
She’s hired Yale Galanter and Team Sheen is desperate for her to soften her story about what happened on Christmas to help Charlie avoid a prison sentence. Publicly, lawyers are saying the couple wants to work on the marriage, but privately, as RadarOnline.com was first to report, Mueller has already met with a divorce attorney and wants a better prenuptial deal.
“The marriage has been bad since the beginning,” said one source who knows both Charlie and Brooke. “It was just a matter of time before it exploded publicly.”
