In the week following the incident, Sheen insisted the event was overblown while his manager characterized the event as an “adverse negative reaction” to medication. Media sources were skeptical. Sheen then went on to file for divorce from Brooke Mueller, whom he was charged with assaulting in a separate incident on Christmas Day 2009. Then, without skipping a beat, Sheen return to the set of his hit sitcom, Two and a Half Men, which inexplicably saw a serious ratings bump after all the negative publicity.
The week’s events had many speculating that Sheen’s troubles weren’t over, especially if he had relapsed and wasn’t taking steps to get back on track. Other sources close to the 45-year-old Sheen say he is committed to sobriety. News reports also suggest he’s enlisted the help of a “sober coach” to help him in his ongoing battle. As anyone in recovery knows, it’s a lifelong process. Here’s hoping Sheen is doing what it takes to win the battle for good.
