Denise Richards Reflects on Early Career Harassment and Hollywood’s Changing Culture

The actress reveals she was pressured to stay silent about sexual harassment to avoid being blacklisted, highlighting progress in the industry since then.

Denise Richards disclosed that early in her career, she faced sexual harassment but was warned that speaking out could lead to being blacklisted in Hollywood.
The actress shared that the fear of losing her career left her feeling vulnerable and unable to take action at the time.
Richards expressed gratitude for the progress made in the entertainment industry, particularly through the #MeToo movement, which has empowered women to speak up.
She credits her three daughters for inspiring her with their confidence and ability to stand up for themselves, traits she wishes she had at their age.
Richards' reflections come as she launches her new reality show, 'Denise Richards & Her Wild Things,' premiering March 4 on Bravo.
