Los Angeles, Nov 5 (IANS): Actor Charlie Sheen has labelled his former wife Brooke Mueller "chubby weirdo".

The "Anger Management" star has hit out at Mueller, mother of his four-year-old twin sons Bob and Max, following her failed attempt to secure a restraining order against him in court Monday.

"Oh, by the way, nice try this morning Brooke. You are a chubby weirdo who will lose at every turn trying to get between me and my boys (sic)," Sheen posted on Twitter Monday, reports contactmusic.com.

Mueller, who came out of rehabilitation centre after being treated for substance abuse last month, claimed in her petition for the restraining order that her ex-husband has threatened her life.

She also stated that she believes he is on a mission to sabotage her sobriety and could even plant drugs on her in his bid to keep her away from their sons, who are currently cared for by Sheen's former wife Denise Richards.

A follow-up hearing has been set for next month.
