Charlie Sheen and his wife really do want to work things out — honest.
Lawyers for the “Two and a Half Men” star and wife Brooke Mueller have stated that the pair are eager to reconcile their differences following Sheen’s Christmas Day arrest for allegedly attacking Mueller with a knife and threatening to kill her.
Now, Mueller’s mother is confirming it.
“She hasn’t spoken with him, but she wants to reconcile with him,” mom Moira Fiore told E! News. “I have mixed emotions about it.”
Sheen and Mueller haven’t had any interaction since his arrest for second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief in Aspen, where the family was spending their holiday.
They’ve been separated by a protection order — mandated by Colorado law in cases of domestic violence — which prevents the arrested party (Sheen) from having any contact with the victim (Mueller) until the case has been resolved.
Last week, Mueller instructed her new, high profile lawyer Yale Galanter (who famously represented OJ Simpson) to get the protection order modified so that she could legally talk to her scandal-ridden husband.
The court hearing on the protective order amendment was supposed to take place yesterday, but the lawyers’ scheduling conflicts forced a postponement. People magazine quotes Galanter as stating that the new hearing date “may be Jan. 11 or another day.”
While waiting for his pending Feb. 8 Colorado court date on the domestic violence charges, it’s business as usual for Sheen in Los Angeles. A source close to production confirms that the entire cast of “Two and a Half Men” was back on set of the No. 1 comedy yesterday.
Mueller and the couple’s 9-month-old twin boys remain at the Aspen house where the assault took place. The house has been rented through the end of the month.
When asked whether she felt comfortable having her grandsons back in the same house as Sheen — who threatened to kill her daughter during the fight — Fiore said, “I’d rather not comment about that.”
