Denise Richards sat down this month and talked with Shape Magazine. She wanted to set the record straight about a few things.
On the reality show with her daughters:
“I’ve been criticized for putting my daughters on the show. But my daughters are my life. How could I do a show about my life without them? I want the show to be real. There’s been so much stuff written about me. I want people to make their own judgments and their own decisions.”
On being a husband stealer
“I can’t tell you how hurtful it was to read this in the press. I would never steal another woman’s husband. Period. And I will say this: If Heather and I really were friends, I would never have gotten together with Richie. She was not my best friend. And we were not friends when I started dating him.”
On her divorce from Charlie Sheen:
“I filed court papers that then became public. I called Charlie and asked him, ‘Why do you have to air our dirty laundry? Why did you have to bash me? Why can’t you just say it’s a private matter?’ In the end, it’s the girls who suffer. I just want them to have a good relationship with their dad.”
I know Denise has come under a lot of heat in the public lately….especially for the whole reality thing. Does hearing about it from her perspective change anything for you, or do you still think it’s a horrible idea?
