"Charlie's been our neighbor and our friend for quite some time," Maloof tells USA TODAY's Cindy Clark. "Yes, it's a little disturbing some of the things that he says, and I don't really know Charlie to be that way. I give him my support and love. He's really actually a wonderful person and I just don't understand this other side to him, and hopefully he works though this."
Maloof, who showed up this morning for the National Education Association's Read Across America Day at the Library of Congress, found herself unwillingly involved in Sheen's antics when her husband
Dr. Paul Nassif called 911 in January to report that Sheen was intoxicated and in pain.
Nassif, a physician, also appears with his businesswoman and philanthropist wife on the Bravo reality TV show, which may be back for a second season. There's no official word yet, "but it's probably going to happen sooner than later with our ratings," says Maloof, who says she will be back on the show. "I'm not really supposed to say, but more than likely yes," she says with a smile.
"Hopefully all the girls will come back, it's a great cast. It'd be crazy for Camille not to come back … she's got a whole other side to her," says Maloof of co-star Camille Grammer, who stirred up some drama last season. "We're all pretty busy, but I do run into them," says Maloof of her off-season relationships with her co-stars. "They're lovely girls. We have our differences, but let me tell you, when you get six women together, you're going to have drama," adding that "it's very real. There's very minimal editing."
