Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller alleges she's being blackmailed by her former drug dealer: Source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife Brooke Mueller, who has been in the headlines due to her involvement in the investigation of 'Friends' star Matthew Perry's death, has found herself entangled in a legal web after she alleged that she is the victim of a blackmail scheme orchestrated by her former drug dealer, Daily Mail reported.
The 47-year-old actress claimed that the individual was threatening to release videos that could tarnish her public image. In these videos, Mueller is reportedly seen purchasing drugs and engaging in other compromising actions.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse as Mueller is now dealing with the fallout of these threats while also maintaining her sobriety and cooperating in an investigation connected to Perry’s tragic overdose.
Brooke Mueller's ex-drug dealer 'blackmailing' her with videos
According to the law enforcement sources who spoke with TMZ, Brooke Mueller’s former drug dealer is allegedly attempting to extort her, with threats to publicly release incriminating videos unless he is paid off.
This dealer is believed to have demanded large sums of money from the actress in exchange for keeping the footage private.
Although Mueller has not handed over any cash, sources indicate that she had previously made attempts to appease him with gifts and payments, which may have totaled tens of thousands of dollars.
This prolonged exchange of threats and attempts at silencing the dealer has reportedly been ongoing for months.
The pressure eventually led Mueller to contact authorities in an effort to put an end to the blackmail. At this time, no arrests have been made, but the investigation is still in its early stages, and law enforcement is actively working on the case.
Mueller’s current struggles are compounded by her history of substance abuse.
The mother of two, who has 15-year-old twin sons Bob and Max with her ex-husband Sheen, recently marked nine months of sobriety, a significant milestone in her recovery journey.
Mueller’s high-profile marriage to Sheen between 2008 and 2011 was rife with difficulties, and she has been open about her past struggles with addiction.
The couple’s tumultuous relationship frequently made headlines, especially as both parties battled their own substance abuse issues during their marriage and after their divorce.
Brooke Mueller thrust into spotlight after Matthew Perry's death
In addition to her personal turmoil with the alleged blackmail, Brooke Mueller has recently been thrust into the spotlight due to her involvement in the investigation surrounding the fatal overdose of actor Matthew Perry.
Mueller played a significant role in the law enforcement probe that has resulted in multiple arrests linked to Perry’s death last October.
TMZ reported that Mueller, along with other individuals, cooperated with authorities in their efforts to piece together the chain of events leading to Perry’s overdose.
The investigation centers around the actions of Jasveen Sangha, a 41-year-old woman nicknamed "The Ketamine Queen", and Erik Fleming, 54.
Both individuals were charged with supplying Perry with the drugs that ultimately led to his death.
Sangha, according to legal documents, sold ketamine to Perry through intermediaries, and Fleming was responsible for delivering the drugs to the actor’s residence.
Mueller had a long-standing connection with both Sangha and Fleming, which dates back to her time in a Los Angeles-area drug rehabilitation facility.
She reportedly shared close bonds with both individuals, and her ties to Perry himself were well known. Mueller first met Sheen at one of Perry’s infamous parties.
Perry, beloved for his role on 'Friends', died on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54.
His death sent shockwaves through Hollywood and beyond, prompting a thorough investigation into how he obtained the drugs that contributed to his fatal overdose.
Sangha and Fleming’s roles in this tragedy have become the focus of the case, with both facing serious charges related to the distribution of ketamine and other controlled substances.
