Did Charlie Sheen lie about his ex-wife Brooke Mueller not being “in the picture” for their twin boys?!
During an interview with People this week, the Two and a Half Men alum claimed he had “mostly been raising 14-year-old boys” Max and Bob Sheen, all by himself. He claimed the 46-year-old actress was “not in the picture” too much as she “has been trying to figure some stuff out on her end.” Whoa…

Charlie did not get into specifics about what was going on with Brooke, but he made it seem like he was in his “single dad” era! Is that the case, though? According to her friends, no! They’re claiming he’s lying about their co-parenting situation!
Pals close to Brooke claimed to Page Six she’s not “out of the picture” when it comes to raising her children with Charlie. Instead, the teenagers divide their time between the pair. A source close to the mom explained:
“Brooke and Charlie have joint custody and are co-parenting their sons who are attending school in Malibu.”
Huh?! So why would Charlie call himself a “single dad” then? Well, an insider did mention that the boys have been living with Charlie in Malibu. However, they claimed the twins have been there during the week because Brooke is waiting to move into a house in the same area. When her lease in Calabasas — where she lived with Max and Bob — reportedly expired two months ago, she decided to move closer to their school in Malibu. That being said, the new place isn’t ready yet. So while Brooke is “waiting for her new Malibu home to be ready” and living with her folks, the source said “the boys are staying with” Charlie:
“She was bringing them to school alternating with Charlie. She is now living temporarily in Beverly Hills with her parents, Moira and Jon Fiore, who are loving grandparents, and have always been financially supportive. … She’s moving in a couple of weeks, and will be five minutes from their school.”
And her parents aren’t the only ones assisting with the big move! The insider even shared that Charlie’s other ex-wife Denise Richards even helped Brooke by watching 33-year-old Cuban rock iguana, Godzilla, since “her mom absolutely will not have the iguana in her home.” Wow! That is so nice of her to be pet-sitting! They added:
“Brooke has a good relationship with Denise [Richards] as well.”
Ultimately, the friends close to Brooke don’t understand why Charlie would claim she’s not in their kids’ lives right now when that’s allegedly not the truth. And what made the situation even more confusing for them is that Brooke and Charlie “have a good relationship and the boys are prospering.” Hmm. The insider then made it clear:
“When Brooke is with her boys, all of her time is devoted to her children – as is Charlie when he is with the boys.”
It sounds like Charlie might have some explaining to do with his ex-wife! She doesn’t seem too thrilled by these claims! Or is it possible Charlie didn’t mean it as badly as it sounded? When he said she had stuff to sort out, was he simply referring to the move? That could be, but he’s such a seasoned celebrity you’d think he’d be more careful about such public declarations. Especially when not going into detail!
