Denise Richards Discusses Ex-Husband Charlie Sheen's Addiction Struggles, Encouraged Him to Take 'Two and a Half Men' Role
Richards recalls urging Sheen to accept the role on 'Two and Half Men,' which she believes eventually led to his relapse, revealing details of their tumultuous relationship and public split amid the actor's addiction issues.
- Denise Richards advocates that ex-husband Charlie Sheen's role in the TV show 'Two and a Half Men' was a substantial factor behind his relapse into addiction, as the series' success and the acquired wealth led him astray from sobriety.
- Richards, while being pregnant with their second daughter, Lola, filed for divorce from Sheen, because he was no longer the person she had married and was no longer sober.
- When Richards and Sheen met, he had been four years sober, leading her to neglect the possibility of a relapse, as she was unacquainted with the concept of addiction at the time.
- Despite public feuds and legal challenges during their divorce, Richards insists she has no regrets about marrying Sheen and believes that they were meant to be together in order to have their daughters.
- Sheen and show co-creator, Chuck Lorre, who Sheen insulted during a series of controversial allegations that led to his firing from 'Two and a Half Men', have recently reconciled ahead of their upcoming series, 'How to Be a Bookie'.
