Denise Richards Reflects on Early Career Sexual Harassment and Industry Changes

The actress shares her experience of being silenced by threats of blacklisting and her perspective on the evolving entertainment industry post-#MeToo.

Denise Richards revealed she was sexually harassed early in her acting career but stayed silent due to fears of being blacklisted in Hollywood.
She expressed gratitude for the progress made in the entertainment industry since the #MeToo movement, noting that women now feel more empowered to speak out.
Richards highlighted how her daughters' confidence and ability to speak their minds inspire her, contrasting it with her struggles as a self-described 'people pleaser' early in her career.
The actress reflected on how she would have handled the situation differently if it had occurred later in her life, with more experience and confidence.
Richards is set to appear in a new Bravo reality series, 'Denise Richards & Her Wild Things,' premiering March 4, which will feature her family and provide a closer look into her life.
