Charlie Sheen stands poised to unveil his tale, with Brooke Mueller equally prepared to share hers. More than a decade and a half after their split, the parents of 16-year-old twin sons Bob and Max made a rare joint appearance, albeit virtually, in the trailer for Charlie's forthcoming documentary, aptly titled "aka Charlie Sheen," released on August 13.
In the teaser clip from the documentary, slated for a September 10 release, Brooke is seen donning a red long-sleeved T-shirt paired with black pants, her hair swept back as a hint of boredom plays across her visage. The 47-year-old actress makes a fleeting appearance in a montage featuring other stars set to grace the documentary's screens, including Sean Penn, Jon Cryer, and ex-wife Denise Richards. The latter shares daughters Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with Charlie.
Elsewhere in the documentary, as Charlie's friends and loved ones recount his meteoric ascent to fame and subsequent precipitous fall, Brooke reflects on his "Two and a Half Men" salary, rumored to be a staggering $1.8 million per episode, remarking, "He was the highest-paid TV star of all time."
During their two-year marriage from 2008 to 2010, when Charlie's substance abuse issues peaked, Brooke was among his closest confidants, though she too grappled with her own struggles. Speaking of her 2023 relapse after six years of sobriety, she conceded that Charlie, with whom she has had a tumultuous relationship over the years, remains her "first call for help" in times of distress. "He gets it," she told People in March. "He's always there to lend a helping hand and piece things together for me."
Brooke further admitted that at times, she was the one exerting a negative influence on Charlie, adding, "If I reflect on our marriage, he was always the one who could switch off and drift into slumber, while I'd sneak out in the car, heading to Skid Row."
Meanwhile, those close to Charlie who did not battle substance abuse faced a different yet equally arduous challenge. Lola, Charlie and Denise's youngest daughter, reflected on Charlie's darkest hours in the documentary trailer, saying, "You can't truly maintain a relationship with someone battling addiction."
