Publicist for Brooke Mueller dismisses overdose report

A representative for Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller has played
down reports suggesting the troubled reality TV star was hospitalized in Los
Angeles on Friday (07Dec12) following a drug overdose. Mueller, who is the
mother of Sheen's twin sons, Max and Bob, was allegedly rushed to hospital after
she was found unresponsive by an assistant at her home in Tarzana, but her
spokesman Steve Honig, who until recently represented another embattled star
Lindsay Lohan, insists the drama has been blown out of proportion. He tells
WENN, "An assistant thought Brooke was non-responsive while she was napping and
hastily called an ambulance. "As a precaution, Brooke was brought to a local
hospital and discharged after an hour. She was diagnosed with exhaustion and
dehydration and is now fine and resting at home. That's it." Mueller has battled
drug addiction in recent years and checked herself in to a drug recovery center
in 2011 in a bid to regain her health. She signed up for a wellness retreat
earlier this year (12) to maintain her sobriety.
