Brooke Mueller Paparazzi Pictures: Brooke Mueller is seen leaving The Grove on March 5, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.
Charlie Sheen's 23-month-old boys were taken from his home Tuesday night after estranged wife Brooke Mueller claimed that he threatened her with decapitation, adding a nasty custody battle to the actor's bitter war with the studio and producers who shut down the hit CBS show short of the season's end. Her claims followed days of sometimes manic, sometimes violence-tinged media interviews by Sheen, part of a public campaign to disprove that he is a drug-using, reckless playboy who was unable or unfit to work on TV's No. 1 comedy.
