In a statement released to OK!, Charlie Sheen defends himself against allegations made by ex-wife Denise Richards, who is attempting to gain full custody of their children.

“I will not dignify the majority of these allegations set forth by Denise Richards with any measure of response. On its best day it remains laughable and inane.
For the record, as well as for the scales of morality, the following must be clarified:

Two years ago, when this circus first arrived, I chose a high road position and remained quiet and dignified. Yet, based on the resurfacing of certain specific claims, made in a severe and grievous manner, illustrating Ms. Richards poor judgment on every possible front, I must counter with these FACTS.

The FBI was aware of these issues. I provided them with every computer I owned. The computers were returned two weeks later. Haven’t heard from them since. Period. The end.

During the 18 months before my request to select my own child care provider, not a single complaint was made or received regarding the welfare of the children while under the care of myself and/or Brooke. I repeat — NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT by either Ms. Richards herself, or her representatives and nanny.

All of this, keep in mind, is because I asked the court to grant me the legal and God-given freedom of choice to hire my own child care provider. I have asked that the Court eliminate Ms. Richards ability to abuse and harass us any longer. One can only imagine what we’ve withstood thus far.

Brooke and I remain committed to the task at hand. These unlawful and diabolical accusations will not distract us from the focus of our resolve. Shortly before unleashing her attack Ms. Richards asked for another baby via a sperm donation, after her divisive attempts at a reconciliation behind Brooke’s back failed. She was flat out rejected.

I am making every possible effort to assure that the courts focus on my children and their welfare. My refusal to dignify garbage needs to be understood in the context of the history of this case and Denise’s need and desire to make it about issues that do not involve anything other than her emotions.”

Brooke Mueller is denouncing Denise Richards’s claims against her ex-husband Charlie Sheen in their heated custody battle – claims that now include accusations about the way he handled his engagement.

Richards, 36, says that her and Sheen’s two children, Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, didn’t learn of their father’s engagement to Mueller, 30, until it was announced on a TV show. “That is one hundred percent untrue,” Mueller tells PEOPLE. “Denise begged us on a few different occasions not to tell the girls we were engaged.”

In a court filing obtained by Access Hollywood, Richards claims Sheen, 41, and Mueller told her they purposely got engaged for “the press … he wanted to get the cover of PEOPLE and Us magazine.”

Mueller, who Sheen proposed to in July with a $500,000 diamond ring during a Costa Rican vacation, says the claim is so absurd she “won’t dignify it with a response.”

Also, in her complaint, Richards filed e-mails from Mueller where she allegedly apologizes for Sheen’s past tirades against his wife. Mueller believes Richards edited a version of her e-mails to bolster her custody battle with Sheen.

“It’s a shame that Denise conveniently edited my e-mail correspondence to serve her own interests,” Mueller said. “She would be both mortified and embarrassed if I released any one of her 40 e-mails to me. But she knows my character and humanity and knows that I would never do such a thing.”

Mueller further denounces Richards’ claims of Sheen’s “inappropriate behavior … and conduct”, including “his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts.”

“Denise’s claims are laughable at best,” says Mueller. “How would she know? She hasn’t lived with Charlie for over two years. But this is a battle we will fight in court, not in the press.”

Richards filed for divorce from Sheen in March, 2005, while she was six months pregnant with Lola. Although they were legally divorced in November 2006, a final division of assets and custody rights are still being debated.

Charlie Sheen isn’t keeping quiet about his anger toward ex Denise Richards, who filed papers Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking to terminate Sheen’s overnight privileges with the couple’s two daughters. In papers obtained by Access Hollywood, Richards accuses the Two and A Half Men star of “inappropriate behavior… and conduct” in front of their children, ages 2 and 3.

Sheen fired back in a statement to Star saying, “Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls. She behaves as though she OWNS our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching. The truth will prevail. It always does.”

Sheen’s lawyer also address the court filings. “Virtually all of these allegations were previously raised and were denied by Mr. Sheen,” attorney Lance Spiegel tells Star. “The parties have been operating under a existing custody agreement for more than a year, and during that period of time there was no attempt to resurrect any these allegations until Mr. Sheen requested the right to select his own child care provider.”

After a brief period of relative silence on the Charlie Sheen vs Denise Richards child custody front, the former couple have resumed their feud via opposing statements.

Sheen, who is trying to change the terms of their current custody agreement so he can be responsible for his own child care decisions, told Usmagazine.com on Aug. 28:

“Until I’m granted the ability to hire my own nanny, [Denise Richards] is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she felt her ‘assistant’ was a suitable replacement. If it’s unfortunate that I’m speaking, it’s ‘unfortunate’ that an incredibly loving and responsible father and his terrifically capable fiancé are being subjected to these transparent and unnecessary sanctions, that have nothing to do with responsible co-parenting and everything to do with punishment and control. As long as I am forced to live under these conditions with my children, people are going to hear about it.”

For her part, Richards continues to ask that Sheen keep their family issues between them. She tells Us:

“I was disappointed to learn of my ex-husband Charlie Sheen’s current statement regarding our personal affairs. this was and should still be a private matter that we as responsible parents settled privately. I stand by that agreement and I will continue to do what is best for our children while attempting to keep this family situation a private matter.”

Sheen and Richards have two children together, daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2. They were married in 2002 and divorced 4 years later. Sheen recently became engaged to girlfriend Brooke Mueller.

A court-ordered observer “sullied” Charlie Sheen’s family weekend with his daughters, Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, and fiancée Brooke Mueller when ex-wife Denise Richards sent her assistant instead of a nanny to supervise the day. A court order stipulates a nanny must be present during Charlie’s time with their girls. Charlie, who has likened the assistant to a “spy,” has released a new statement on the matter.

“Until I’m granted the ability to hire my own nanny, she is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she felt her ‘assistant’ was a suitable replacement. If it’s unfortunate that I’m speaking, it’s ‘unfortunate’ that an incredibly loving and responsible father and his terrifically capable fiancée are being subjected to these transparent and unnecessary sanctions, that have nothing to do with responsible co-parenting and everything to do with punishment and control. As long as I am forced to live under these conditions with my children, people are going to hear about it.”

On Monday, disappointed in her ex’s decision to reveal the matter to the press, Denise defended herself, saying she was and will “continue to act in the best interests of her children and to take all reasonable steps to protect them.”

The Emmy nominee is currently locked in a heated custody battle with Denise over visitation rights.

The cease fire between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards is over.

The exes, who endured a famously nasty divorce in 2006, have recently been photographed together enjoying family outings with their daughters, Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, and even Sheen’s fiancée Brooke Mueller.

However, according to the New York Post’s Page Six, those days are done.

A friend close to Sheen, 41, tells Page Six that, while the Two and a Half Men star is trying to haul Richards into L.A. Family Court to get looser visitation rights that won’t require him to be supervised, Richards is opposed to the plan.

“She’s doing everything she can to keep his visits supervised by her nanny, because her nanny spies for her,” says the source.

Another Sheen pal denies reports that Richards recently went shopping with Mueller, 29.

“Denise set it up,” says the friend. “Brooke did get a call from Denise saying, ‘It’s an emergency, come meet me now.’ When Brooke met her, there were four paparazzi waiting to take their picture. After the pictures were done, Denise told Brooke, ‘It’s been taken care of.’ ”

Richards, 36, denies the sources’ claims. “This is disgusting,” she told Page Six. “He is doing this now because he’s not happy with me and the custody arrangement.”

She shot down rumors that she’s withholding the couple’s children from their father.

“My mom is going through chemotherapy and I asked Charlie if my mom could see the kids before she got really sick. That’s a valid request. He doesn’t stick to the schedule he has with the kids - that’s not my fault.”

She continued: “I did ask both Charlie and Brooke to lunch to see the kids - he hadn’t seen them in two weeks - but only Brooke took me up on it. The paparazzi were already following me, as they do every day, and took a picture.”
