Brooke Mueller has reached out to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department seeking assistance … claiming she is facing extortion, according to TMZ’s sources.
According to law enforcement insiders, Charlie Sheen‘s ex-partner alleges that she is being blackmailed by her former narcotics dealer, who supposedly possesses footage of her drug purchases and other compromising activities.
Sources indicate that the dealer threatened Brooke, stating he would go public or contact the media if she didn’t compensate him.
According to law enforcement, Brooke attempted to silence him with various gifts and payments … amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. A confidant of Brooke claims she has never given him any money at all.
It has been reported that this situation persisted for several months … until Brooke concluded it was necessary to involve the authorities.
No arrests have taken place in this incident … but the inquiry continues.
This unfolding drama arises during an already tumultuous year for the actress … who has been connected to the Matthew Perry demise investigation.
As previously uncovered by TMZ, Brooke was in the identical Los Angeles rehabilitation facility as the late “Friends” actor and Jasveen Sangha, known as “The Ketamine Queen.” Sangha was subsequently taken into custody and charged concerning MP’s passing.
Our contacts had also previously disclosed that Brooke shared a close friendship with Erik Fleming, one of the individuals who agreed to a deal in the scenario surrounding the death.
