Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen has been discharged from a New York hospital and is headed home to Los Angeles.
Sheen was taken to the hospital by ambulance around 1:30 am Tuesday after reportedly yelling and throwing furniture in his hotel room at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
Sheen, who was in New York City to spend time with his ex-wife Denise Richards and their two daughters, was hospitalized for what police sources say was intoxication and what his rep says was an allergic reaction to medication.
Richards, who went to the hospital with Sheen, has been tight-lipped about the incident in an effort to protect their daughters Sam, 6, and Lola, 5, who were reportedly nearby when their father was taken to the hospital.
“We’re in an amazing place, we’ve been getting along great for the last year, year-and-a-half,” Richards, 39, said on The Joy Behar Show Tuesday. “We’re doing our best, so as far as that situation, I’m trying to protect the girls from it as much as possible.”
Richards says she knows what happened but details of the incident will have to come from Sheen himself.
“My daughters are five and six years old,” she explained. “And they’re at an age when they can start to understand, they have no idea what went on and a lot of … our stuff happened when they were much younger, which I’m so grateful for.”
After undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at the hospital, Sheen was released and headed back to Los Angeles.
His rep said in a brief statement, “Charlie Sheen has been discharged from a hospital in N.Y. and is returning to L.A. today. Everything else is speculation.”
And there has been plenty of speculation. Early reports claim that Sheen, who was passed out and half naked when police arrived, was doing cocaine with a prostitute in his room, and freaked out when he couldn’t find his wallet – read more HERE.
