Charlie's Attack Triggered By Brooke's Divorce Confession!

It seems that Charlie Sheen‘s attack on his wife Brooke Mueller was due to his reaction after hearing from her that she wanted a divorce.

The two had gone out to dinner on Christmas Eve with their sober minders, individuals who help people with substance abuse issues stay away from drugs and alcohol. But, unfortunately, they were not doing their job!

Charlie and Brooke were drinking heavily that night – with Brooke consuming more than her troubled hubby. The couple began to argue.

“Brooke told Charlie, ‘I want a divorce,’” claims a source. “She said she was leaving him for good.”

Sheen became furious and attacked her. Although he did not hold a knife to her throat, Charlie did threaten her while holding the sharp implement.

That’s bad enough for us – and grounds for Brooke’s restraining order!

Get help, you two!
