Mueller To Sue Rehab Centre
By WENNTuesday, February 23, 2010
CHARLIE SHEEN’s wife BROOKE MUELLER is preparing to file a lawsuit against bosses at the Malibu, California rehab centre she checked into earlier this month (Feb10) for allegedly violating her privacy.
Mueller was admitted to The Canyon on 9 February (10) to deal with personal issues after a similar stay at a North Carolina wellness clinic, where she spent a week recovering from an infection and a bout of pneumonia.
But she has now left The Canyon in favour of a quieter location, which she reportedly entered on Monday (22Feb10), after a staff member allegedly leaked a detailed patient admissions document to the press.
The actress is now set to sue executives at The Canyon and plans “to have the individual responsible for leaking the information arrested,” according to her lawyer, Yale Galanter.
He tells TMZ.com, “Brooke was forced to leave The Canyon rehab facility because of the security breach.”
And Galanter reveals Mueller moved to a different treatment centre to avoid any other personal information being released to the public.
He adds, “(She is) in a private, more secure, confidential environment. Brooke no longer feels she can go into a public facility because of the breach of confidentiality The Canyon committed.”
