Mueller gave birth to their twin sons on March 14, 2009. On December 25, 2009, Sheen was arrested on suspicion of domestic abuse. The couple filed for divorce in November 2010. In March 2011, police removed the children from Sheen's home after Mueller obtained a restraining order against Sheen.

In 1996, Mueller was arrested on DUI charges in Palm Beach County, Florida. In March 2001, she was arrested in Miami-Dade County, Florida, for cocaine possession. In July 2011, Mueller completed an outpatient rehab program. In May 2013, officials from Department of Children and Family Services removed Mueller's then 4-year-old children from her care, when her suspected ongoing drug use made the house unsafe for them. Mueller entered a rehab program soon after, while her sons were initially placed in the care of Denise Richards, Sheen's second ex-wife, and later transferred to the care of Mueller's brother Scott. In December 2014, full custody of her then 5-year-old sons was returned to Mueller by the court.

In August 2019, Mueller voluntarily entered an inpatient trauma rehabilitation center, in a renewed effort to deal with her substance abuse problems, with her then 10-year-old sons going into the care of Mueller's parents.

Mueller relapsed in the summer of 2023 after six years of sobriety. Muller says she classifies herself as a "stage four addict," meaning she is in a "cycle where you just have these relapses, no matter how well you get, and no matter how many years, it's just a matter of time."
