In the wake of Charlie Sheen‘s Xmas morning arrest in Aspen, CO on allegations that he physically assaulted his intoxicated wife Brooke Mueller there is a new report from RadarOnline that claims that Mueller has decided to file divorce papers and will do so very shortly … meaning that the couple, who were married in March of ’08, are totally dunzo!

It’s over between Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller after less than two years of marriage, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. Sheen’s arrest on felony domestic violence charges followed a night of arguing after a quiet trial separation of the couple, sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively. Mueller has now decided that she will file divorce papers in the very near future, we’ve learned exclusively. After the Christmas morning incident, where Mueller told sources Charlie tried to choke her, the actor’s representatives quickly moved into damage control mode. Sources close to Mueller told RadarOnline.com that Team Sheen pressured her to recant and even suggested the exact words she should use! Late on Christmas day Mueller did recant her version of the violence — after contact with Charlie’s reps. Mueller wants out of the marriage and has a prenuptial agreement. Sources told RadarOnline.com that money was discussed in connection with not further damaging Sheen’s already tattered reputation. Both Mueller and Sheen were partying the night before the incident and had alcohol in their systems at 8:34am when 911 was called. Sheen has been through rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. Sheen had just flown into Aspen, where Mueller rented a house and had been spending time without him in a trial separation, sources close to both Sheen and Mueller told RadarOnline.com. “Both of them are miserable in the marriage. That’s why they were apart,” a source who knows the couple told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Both were separately telling friends their marriage was over before this happened.
BUT … another report from People magazine says differently … that report claims that things between Sheen and Mueller were not bad at all prior to this incident and that, indeed, the couple have decided to go to couple’s counseling in the wake of this incident in order to try and keep their marriage intact. They may not be so dunzo after all:

Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller are planning to undergo counseling after a heated fight at a dinner party in Aspen, Colo., that landed Charlie in jail on domestic violence charges Friday morning. “They were fighting at a dinner in a friend’s house and it continued until the next morning,” a source close to Mueller tells PEOPLE. “Both of them were drinking and neither was supposed to be. They both have histories of alcohol abuse and have made every effort to stop. But things got out of hand.” Sheen, 44, was booked at 11:20 a.m. for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief, according to a spokesperson for the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Department in Aspen, Colo. The actor posted an $8,500 bond Friday night and was released from jail at 7 p.m. He is due in court on Feb. 8, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. “Charlie went right back to Los Angeles after he was released from jail,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Both he and Brooke will undergo counseling and Charlie will get anger management counseling.” Despite reports, the couple had not been separated in the weeks leading up to the Christmas morning 911 call at the house they were renting with their twin boys, Bob and Max, 9 months. “Brooke and Charlie have never been separated,” the source tells PEOPLE. “And the boys are fine – so precious. They knew nothing about a fight between their parents.” The actor’s Colorado-based attorney Richard Cummins tells PEOPLE, “They have two children together and they love one another and they’re going to work through what is a difficult time and they’re going to do that together and as privately as possible.” Sheen’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, had no further comment.
I dunno about any of this. Unfortch with incidents of domestic violence (whether alleged or not) this sort of back and forth is prevalent. I’m very concerned about these allegations that Mueller was forced to recant her claims of assault and now everything is just fine, they’re gonna “work on it” and stay together … of course, this is coming from HIS lawyer. We don’t know what really happened and it is unfair to automatically blame Sheen just because he is a man … but I’m of the mind that allegations of abuse by anyone should be taken very seriously. Whatever the case may be (or whatever the story we are finally told), it is my sincere hope that everyone involved is safe, sound and unharmed. We may never know what went down.





























Good morning Trent!
This story is so confusing. Anytime there is Domestic Violence in a relationship, i feel that both parties need to reaccess the purpose of being together.
I’m a survivor of D.V., and it just comes a time when you need to realize your value, and not how someone what you to be, for whatever purpose.
These two definitely need some kind of help.
i meant “wants you to be”
I agree, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. That being said, I would definitely think twice before getting in a relationship with Charlie Sheen! Denise Richards left him when she was 6 months pregnant and now his wife of 9 months is allegedly filing for divorce after he assaulted her. I just hope things can work out peacefully, not just for them but for their kids. :(
that’s pretty early to be boozing it up!
hm, i dont think it’s unfair to blame charlie. not because he’s a man, but because had it appeared that brooke also assaulted charlie, she would’ve been taken into custody as well. he makes me sick.
I feel sorry for their little babies.
Don’t they have young twins?
The toxic pattern is with Charlie … his relationships and drug use before Denise. When he married Denise, he waxed lyrical to the media, about being a reformed man …. now we know that was just an image. Even when he got his ‘all important’ sons (twins) he still won’t commit or make it work.
as for the drinking … it was Christmas in Aspen.
The nexus to both relationships is Charlie. He’s the problem! I don’t believe Denise and Brooke are conspiring against poor Charlie LOL. He’s an inveterate alchoholic and womanizer, and will NOT be changing in the future, regardless of what lip service he pays. He’s had countless opportunities to make good on his promises, but has yet to deliver.
It sounds like Charlie and Brooke are toxic together, which than creates a miasma for the children. It doesn’t appear to be in anybody’s best interests to remain in this relationship.
