Charlie Sheen’s wife Brooke Mueller is in rehab for crack addiction, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
“Brooke has been in denial about her problem for a long time,” one source close to her told RadarOnline.com.
Brooke checked into rehab last week. She has both an alcohol and a crack addiction problem, and has been treated for both in the past, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.
“Her mother has been attempting to convince her to go into rehab for a while now,” the source told RadarOnline.com.
And, in fact, when Brooke and her mother recently went to North Carolina, it was rehab for Brooke, contrary to her lawyer’s public statements.
She left North Carolina for Charlie’s court appearance in Colorado and then returned to Los Angeles.
