This post deals with alleged domestic violence and might be triggering for some readers.
In 2019 in a segment on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Denise Richards said to her best friend Patrick Muldoon: "My ex-husband’s aged me terribly I think."
That ex-husband, of course, is Charlie Sheen.
In the segment, Richards recalled an unusual Thanksgiving dinner she shared with Sheen and a sex worker he brought along to the occasion.
"Charlie came over for Thanksgiving for dinner a few years ago, and he had a hooker in the car in the driveway," she said. "He was afraid to tell me. 'Uh, you know, well, she's in the driveway. Is it OK if she's in the driveway?' I said, 'Ugh, I'll set a f**king plate'."
At the time of the admission and its worldwide broadcast, Sheen was reportedly furious Richards brought it up. However, she later spoke further about the bizarre family meal on the popular Daddy Issues podcast.
During the episode, she discussed how her she reacted to the stranger joining them for the festivities.
"He (Sheen) told me, 'Hey, I want you to know so and so's here, don't worry she's going to be in the car in the driveway while we eat dinner'," Richards recalled. "I'm like, 'I cannot have her sitting in the driveway'."
The story is ultimately one small example of the tumultuous relationship that Sheen and Richards have shared over the years.
