Brooke Mueller is reported to have been babbling about ‘mafia connections’ when she was forced into psychiatric care earlier this month under suspicion of heavy drug abuse.

When police arrived at her Los Angeles home on May 1 the 35-year-old was ranting about an imaginary FBI investigation of her ex Charlie Sheen.

The mother-of-two claimed she was an informant for the Federal Bureau and was going to bring her former husband down with her secret information.

According to TMZ, law enforcement arrived at her home after receiving a 911 call from a man who claimed Brooke had assaulted him.

Sources told the gossip website that officers on the scene believed that she was inebriated and appeared to not have slept for days.

Her children, four-year-old twin boys Bob and Max who she shares with Sheen, were present in the house during the incident.

Police called the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, who were reported have had an open case on the troubled mother.

Upon making the call to Family Services officers took Brooke into custody under a section 5150 – a California Welfare and Institutions Code that deems an individual to have a mental disorder making them a danger to themselves and others.

Brooke was placed under a three-day psychiatric hold and was later sent to rehab.

Meanwhile, Brooke is said to be concerned that her child support - a whopping $55,000 a month - will be cut off by Sheen as their children are in the temporary custody of Denise Richards.

A source told RadarOnline.com : ‘One of the reasons she had her lawyer go to court on Friday to ask the judge to strip Denise Richards of temporary guardianship of Bob and Max - and have them placed with her brother - is because she is afraid that Charlie is going to cut off child support.’

The rehab veteran’s sole source of income are the child support checks, as the source explained: ‘Brooke hasn’t worked in years and is unable to keep a job because of her addiction to drugs.

‘Brooke doesn’t have any money saved and lives month-to-month on the child support.’

Despite being denied spouse support in her divorce from the movie star she did receive a $757,000 settlement as well as $1 million from the sale of their home.

But Sheen has no plans to cut her off just yet as the source said: ‘Charlie will reassess the child support issue with Brooke in the next few months and see where things stand. He wants her to get the help she needs.’

Although, his other ex wife Denise is an entirely different story.

Sheen is reported have offered to give Richards more money for taking care of his two children while their mother Brooke is in rehab. But the actress politely declined.

The show of gratitude comes after Sheen flew Denise home to Los Angeles from New York in a private jet so she could see her children on Mother’s Day.

The Anger Management star also pays Denise $55,000 a month in child support, but wanted to give her more as she tended to his four-year-old twins from his marriage to Brooke.

A source told RadarOnline.com : ‘Charlie is extremely generous, and wanted to make sure having the twins in Denise’s care didn’t place a financial strain on her.

‘Denise was thankful for the offer, but declined because she has the financial means to take care of them herself. She isn’t doing this for the money.’

Taking its toll? Denise looked very slender as she clutched the hand of one of Charlie's sons while picking up her daughters from their gymnastics class in Los Angeles

And Sheen is aware of just how fortunate he is to have the gorgeous actress in his life.

The same insider explained: ‘There have been many times over the last year that Charlie has said the best thing he ever did was marrying and having children with Denise, but the worst thing was ever letting her go.

‘Denise is the one person in his life that he truly trusts.’

The 42-year-old is intent upon providing the best possible environment for the boys but it isn’t easy, as the source explained: ‘Five kids under the age of nine in one house is chaos at times, but Denise manages.’

Adding, ‘All of the kids are thriving and love each other.’

While Richards won’t take more money for her act of kindness she did gleefully accept his offer to fly her home for Mother’s Day.

The Wild Things actress was ‘bummed to miss her special holiday on Sunday as she was in New York City to film her TV show Twisted.

But her former husband - with whom she shares two daughters, Sam, nine, and seven-year-old Lola - had his exclusive plane whisk her back to Los Angeles the same day so she could be with her kids.

Denise wrote on Twitter: ‘Greatest ex @charliesheen my mom's day gift flying me home on his plane so I can take the kids to school.’

The 42-year-old beauty married the Hot Shots star in 2002, but their union ended acrimoniously in 2006 and Denise later filed a restraining order against her ex-spouse.

However, the former lovers repaired their relationship for the sake of their kids and in recent years have grown very close.

The Starship Troopers actress - who also has a two-year-old adopted daughter, Eloise - was recently granted temporary custody of Charlie's two children with his third wife, who was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold amid allegations of drug use.

Brooke wants the 55 grand to spend it on drugs not on her kids. If Charlie were a good parent he would ask for custody of his children, because he is their father and he should be caring for them, not his ex-wife. All the same thank goodness that Denise Richards is around. I think she should get custody of those kids as it seems that noone else wants it (other than the drug adict mother). - Maria , Spain, 14/5/2013 10:09 ...... HE IS A GOOD DAD BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THEM HIMSELF BECAUSE OF HIS ADDICTIVE LIFE STYLE AND HE UNDERSTANDS HOW SPECIAL WHAT DENISE IS DOING FOR THOSE KIDS IS!!!! BEING WITH HIM FULL TIME WOULD BE BAD!!

She has been given too many chances to clean up her act & care for her children. As a child of an addict myself I can tell you it is a childhood of pure he**. She needs to lose custody of them now, so that perhaps they can go on to have a normal life.

And some people want to legalise drugs, ask Sheen's and Mueller's children in 10 years time what they think about that. Hopefully they won't be addicted either.

Sad sad situation. I think that Charlie is a good guy and wants the best for Brooke, but I think he should definietly cut off the child support because it is fairly obvious that she has not been spending that money on her children! The children would be much better off for the time being with Denise, who seems to have a very stable life. It's definitely an interesting situation when Charlie, Denise and Brooke are all involved! It can't be easy on Brooke to have her children handed over to the woman that Charlie has always seemed to be in love with! I hope she gets the help she needs and her little ones are looked after.

$55,000 a month. She wanted her sons to go with a brother, only God knows if he is fit and able, so she can still receive the money. Happy Mother's Day. Wow.

OMG! If I was getting 55 grand a month, I'd be scared about it going away too! But seriously, the article says she is concerned because she is in a situation where she lives month-to-month, and what I don't get is how someone can't make that last until the next month. My husband didn't have full time work for 4 years, but somehow we got through by cutting back. I haven't had a haircut or bought new clothes the entire time. We made 12 grand last year and it sickens me that this broad gets that in one week in order to care for her children and yet she still has none of it left by the end of the month? She needs to stop living like a rock star -in all the ways that that lifestyle is associated with. Uh-hmmm.

Denise is a class act. She is clearly beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Brooke needs some serious help and Charlie is an idiot for ever letting go of Denise.
