Host Michele Locke—a seasoned divorce attorney and former family court judge—dives deep into the turbulent legal saga surrounding Charlie Sheen’s third marriage to Brooke Mueller. This episode unpacks allegations of abuse, substance use, and a string of violent incidents that made headlines. Locke explores the intense custody battles between Sheen and his ex-wives, Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, shedding light on the legal and emotional complexities of child support disputes and custody arrangements. She also examines the unusual and evolving co-parenting dynamic between the three. Joining Michele is victim advocate and executive producer Jake Deptula, who brings insight into Sheen’s infamous public breakdown during his Two and a Half Men era, the fallout from his firing, and the high-stakes legal conflicts that threatened his multimillion-dollar fortune.
