According to the celebrity-driven website, Mueller’s abrupt relocation to Orange County has angered a Los Angeles County judge, who ordered the treatment as a condition for regaining custody of her children.

The San Juan Capistrano rehab was characterized in the article as “more upscale and less stringent,” Radar Online says. Meanwhile, the Rancho Mirage-based Betty Ford Center was described as “too hard.”
