Brooke Mueller reportedly called the cops on Denise Richards and accused her of multiple counts of child abuse, according to TMZ.

Police came to Richards' Los Angeles home on Tuesday night and told her they were investigating an abuse claim filed by Mueller, at which point the actress told them the claim was "ridiculous" and "vindictive."

Not only was Mueller reportedly filing an abuse claim about her 4-year-old twins with Charlie Sheen, Bob and Max, but she was ALSO accusing Richards of abusing the star's own daughters with Sheen.

Richards pointed out that she hasn't even seen Bob and Max for over two weeks, and Brooke has had no contact with Richards' two girls, so if she's lodging a false claim, this could be yet another mark against her in her bitter custody battle with Sheen.

Richards wrote a letter to the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services earlier this month stating that she no longer felt capable of caring for Bob and Max, and her brother Scott was granted temporary guardianship of the twins.
