“But the partying didn’t stop there,” the source said. “He’s used coke and been drinking many, many other times since then.”
In fact, Sheen partied with Mueller at a mutual friend’s house the night before she went into rehab.
During Christmas Sheen had a “sober coach” with him because a family member confronted him about the fact he had started boozing again. But Sheen drank in front of the sober coach on Christmas eve and the next day ended up in jail.
RadarOnline.com reported exclusively that Mueller has been treated for crack addiction and has been in rehab several times before. In recent weeks, both Mueller’s lawyers and Team Sheen have tried to deny that both husband and wife have substance abuse problems – but now both husband and wife are in rehab.
