Charlie Sheen has entered a rehab facility, People.com reports. Sheens’ rep said this in a statement, “”As a preventative measure, Charlie Sheen has entered a rehabilitation facility. He will take some time off his series Two and a Half Men.” Wife Brooke Mueller is also in rehab following the couples Christmas Day altercation.
Charlie Sheen was charged on Monday with a felony menacing charge and two misdemeanors after a domestic dispute with wife Brooke Mueller that happened on Christmas Day in Colorado. The judge did ease the restrictions on the restraining order according to People.com, so now the married couple can see each other. Sheen is reportedly returning home to see Mueller and their two young sons.
Both the Two in a Half Men actor and Mueller appeared in an Aspen, Colorado court room for the hearing. In order for Sheen to be around Mueller, he needs to refrain from drinking alcohol, possessing guns or harassing his wife. The actor was formally charged with felony menacing and two misdemeanors: third-degree assault and criminal mischief, stemming from the assault, for which he was sent to jail for on Christmas Day.
Following his domestic dispute and arrest on Christmas Day, Charlie Sheen had his commercials suspended by Hanes. The actor, who appeared in commercials for Hanes “Comfortsoft” line of undershirts with basketball star Michael Jordan, had those commercials yanked from the air following the arrest. Hanes spokesman Matthew Hall released this statement, “We suspended the commercials on Dec. 28. Some were seen on the 25th, 26th, 27th as we could not reach the networks over the holiday weekend.” The commercials were scheduled to air for the last time on January 1st. People.com reports that Sheen’s contract with the company was to end in the middle of this year, though there had been no plans for other commercials.
Charlie Sheen spent his Christmas in jail following a scuffle with wife Brooke Meuller. Sheen, 44, is being held at the Pitkin County Colorado Jail in Aspen, Colorado. According to People.com, the Two and a Half Men actor was booked for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief. Stan Rosenfield, Sheen’s rep, released this statement, “Do not be mislead by appearance. Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day. It would benefit everyone not to jump to any conclusion.” Sheen is currently being held without bond and he will remain in jail until his court appearance due to Colorado law which mandates a protection order between those arrested for domestic violence and their victims.
