Brooke Mueller slurs her words while trying to score ‘black tar’ heroin

Hours after arriving in the Hamptons with “suitcases of drugs,” Charlie Sheen’s relapsing ex, Brooke Mueller, drove to Queens desperately trying to score crystal meth, cocaine and “black tar” heroin, according to a shocking recording obtained exclusively by Page Six.

The back-on-drugs Mueller slurs her words on the explosive audiotape — as she discusses how she can get her hands on black tar, a bargain-basement dark form of heroin that can be sticky like tar or hard and is cut with other substances.

“Now we are almost at Queens. Actually, what we want is, if it’s possible, cocaine and meth, crystal and coke, and if it’s even possible, it has to be the tar, black tar,” Mueller, who has physical custody of her and Sheen’s 10-year-old twin boys, Max and Bobby, can be heard saying on the tape.

Mueller, 41, then quickly says of the black tar, “But that’s not for me.”

“Yeah, whatever it is, we’re gonna get it,’’ she adds. “And then I’ll just Venmo you just for doing this. A couple, like what, two hundred bucks? Is that cool?”

The 41-year-old actress — who denied to Page Six that she has ever used heroin — was driving to Queens with a mystery man from the Hamptons at the time, around 2 a.m. on July 15. It is believed her sons with Sheen, 53, were with her mother at the time.

When talk on the tape turns to her sobriety, Mueller — who has battled addiction for years and is now said to be back in a sober facility — happily admits, “I just go on and off. Everyone does. Almost everyone. There’s the few that stay sober, but not at my level.”

The recording was made fewer than 24 hours after Mueller arrived in Southampton with bags full of drugs, as Page Six exclusively reported in July.

Her two sons with Sheen were believed to have been at Mueller’s home in Beverly Hills at the time, under the care of her mother, who often looks after the kids when she travels, during their troubled mom’s jaunt to Long Island.

Mueller — who has reportedly been to rehab an incredible 20 times and completed her last live-in treatment in January 2017 — had arrived in the Hamptons on July 14 with nowhere to stay, witnesses told Page Six.

Sources close to the Sheen ex claimed that she had booked a hotel there but arrived seven hours before her scheduled 3 p.m. check-in.

Mueller then met a random guy at the Rite Aid drug store in Southampton around 8 that Sunday morning and tearfully begged him to take her back to his shared rental house — where she opened her bags and unveiled an array of drugs including cocaine, witnesses said.

According to multiple sources, Mueller — who appeared as if she had cocaine around her nostrils — urged the male housemates to party with her, telling those who did not want to indulge first thing on a Sunday after a late night out, “You guys are boring, what is wrong with you?” witnesses said.

A frazzled Mueller was forcibly thrown out of the Hamptons shared house two hours later, when another resident returned and was appalled to find the wasted woman with her narcotics stash, which a witness described as a scene from the Al Pacino drug-lord flick “Scarface.”

The witness said the disgusted resident “threw Brooke’s suitcases right out of the door into the street, and then he threw her right out after them.”

When Page Six reached Mueller by phone, she claimed — amid family fears for her safety following her relapse — “I am OK, I am more than OK.”

She added of her early-hours car ride to Queens, “I was with my treatment team, so there’s no way I would be looking for black tar. I’ve never done heroin in my life. This is getting out of control.”

Mueller’s rep didn’t comment about the audiotape, but a source explained, “Brooke’s family is very concerned about her relapse and about her safety.

“They are worried about her pattern of behavior that leads her to put herself in the hands of total strangers. They don’t know why she was in Queens or what happened there, but she was there.

“Her family urgently wants Brooke to go back to rehab, but they can’t force her. Ultimately, she has to make the decision to get sober herself. Thankfully, her sons are safe in California.”

Mueller has since checked into a trauma rehabilitation center, a facility that helps address underlying emotional issues leading to addiction.

A spokesman for Mueller told Page Six, “Brooke has voluntarily checked herself into a trauma center on the East Coast and is under the supervision of a team of professionals. Like millions of other people, staying sober is a daily challenge and she is working hard to overcome her disease.”

Mueller and Sheen — who has his own rocky history of drug and alcohol addiction — married in 2008 and filed for divorce in November 2010 following his arrest for assaulting her in Aspen, Colorado.

They both checked into rehab after the incident, and Sheen was placed on probation and ordered to undergo domestic violence counseling.

The former “Two and a Half Men” star was also famously hospitalized in October 2010 after he flew into a naked, drug-fueled rage at The Plaza Hotel in New York, while cops found a porn star in his room.

According to divorce papers, Sheen and Mueller share legal custody of their sons, but she has primary physical custody. It was reported at the time of their divorce that he had agreed to pay $55,000 a month in child support to Mueller, the same amount he pays ex-wife actress and former model Denise Richards, with whom he has two daughters.

Sheen was diagnosed with HIV in 2012, and Mueller released a statement at the time confirming that she and their twin boys “are not HIV positive.” He stated that the diagnosis sent him on a spiral of booze and cocaine use. But in January this year, Sheen announced he had just celebrated one year of being sober.

Meanwhile, Mueller has continued to battle her own demons. She was arrested in December 2011 at an Aspen nightclub for suspicion of assault and cocaine possession and sentenced to probation. She reportedly returned to rehab in May 2012 and again in December that year.

In May 2013, Richards was granted temporary custody of Mueller and Sheen’s twin boys after child welfare workers removed the boys from Mueller’s home, saying the environment was “unsafe.” Mueller then checked into UCLA Medical Center to seek treatment for prescription drug abuse.

In November 2013, Sheen claimed to the media he had reported Mueller to the Department of Children and Family Services ahead of her first unsupervised overnight visit with their boys. He claimed at the time to TMZ that Mueller was “as awful a parent and a person as you can possibly draw up.”

Around the time, a video emerged online of Mueller appearing to smoke crack cocaine and asking someone off-camera, “Where is the crystal? I’m giving you $1,500.”

In 2014, Mueller was sued by her former assistant, who said, in court papers, he watched her twin boys while she got “so high as to be literally wasted.” He also claimed she engaged in sex acts with others while her young kids were in the room. The case was dismissed.

Then in November 2016, Salt Lake City police launched a search for Mueller and her sons. She turned up at a bar, barefoot and reportedly “disheveled,” in the early hours of the morning with the then 7-year-old boys in tow.

Mueller was immediately hospitalized for an evaluation. Then she entered live-in rehab again, later starting an outpatient rehabilitation program in Utah in January 2017. At the time, her mother released a statement saying Mueller was “committed to maintaining her sobriety.”

Mueller’s apparent attempt to buy cheap heroin and other narcotics comes after Sheen reportedly fell into arrears in his child support payments in 2016.

Mueller’s net worth appears to be dependent on Sheen, as her only recent work seems to be an appearance on a reality show with her close friend Paris Hilton.

Last year, Sheen asked to modify his child support payments to Mueller and Richards, claiming he “had been unable to find steady work and have been blacklisted from many aspects of the entertainment industry” and as a result, did not have the “sufficient income” to pay the court-ordered child support amounts.

Sheen did not immediately return a request for comment.
