Denise Richards opens up about Charlie Sheen HIV news

Denise Richards found herself needing to have a tough chat with her daughters Sami and Lola following Charlie Sheen’s disclosure of his HIV status on the Today show approximately ten years ago, in 2015. More recently, the actress shared details of that surprising revelation during an episode of the Whine Down podcast, stating that she wasn’t aware of Sheen’s intentions to make his diagnosis public.

Due to the swift spread of the news, Richard felt it necessary to be the one to inform her children about it. She expressed, “I believe I took them home from school earlier that day so that children at school wouldn’t be the ones to tell them.” Richard confessed that she was annoyed with Sheen for not giving her a heads up beforehand. “I wish he had warned me in advance, something like, ‘Hey, I’ll be doing it today,'” she continued.

Richard’s chat with her daughters was difficult due to their youth at the time. Over the years, she has worked hard to protect them from her husband’s public disputes, saying, “There have been some topics I needed to discuss with them, but generally, I tried my best to shield them from much of it.

Richardson and Shen, who were married from 2002 to 2006, have kept a friendly bond since then. Nevertheless, Shen expressed a desire for their connection to be stronger. Richardson stated, “I wish we were friends, able to chat frequently, and there for each other, especially with our daughters. But the relationship we have now isn’t like that.
