Brooke Mueller has been in rehab since her meltdown in Utah last month, according to her sister, Sydney Wolofsky.
“She was in the hospital for a little bit,” Wolofsky told Entertainment Tonight. “I do know she woke up in the hospital after detox and my mom asked her what she wanted to do at this point, and she was the one that said, ‘I want to go back into rehab, and I want to stay there for a while.'”
She reiterated that it was definitely Mueller’s decision to enter rehab and that she’s doing “a lot better.”
TMZ reported in November that the 39-year-old mother of two was hospitalized and under psych evaluation for allegedly striking her kids while “under the influence of something.” Utah police found Mueller with her kids and the nanny in a small town outside of Salt Lake City.
But a source told ET that much of the report was inaccurate.
“She was never barefoot; she never hit the kids. Brooke was over-medicated at the time and was not herself.”
At the time, Mueller was dating skin-care guru Peter Thomas Roth, but after the drama, the pair called it quits.
Roth told Page Six at the time, “I haven’t seen her since October. We were just dating and having fun. She seemed like she was in a good space. But the last time I spoke to her, some things were off.”
Mueller’s rep declined to comment.
