Denise was a bit of a surprise as a new cast member when she joined in 2019 because she was the only one who had a real Hollywood career.
She had been in the blockbusters like 1997’s Starship Troopers and 1999’s The World Is Not Enough.
Denise had also experienced a high-profile marriage to Charlie Sheen from 2002 to 2006.

She did it: ‘She’s answering her truth,’ said Cohen. ‘She has a family and kids. Whatever happened or didn’t happen, I would imagine that it’s something that maybe she didn’t really care to discuss on a television show’
The other cast members did not support her but rather turned on the Wild Things actress.
‘She’s answering her truth,’ said Cohen. ‘She has a family and kids. Whatever happened or didn’t happen, I would imagine that it’s something that maybe she didn’t really care to discuss on a television show.’
A source told People that Denise wants to spend time with her family.
She has been wed to Aaron Phypers for two years.
Richards has three daughters – Lola, 15, and Sam, 16, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen and adopted Eloise, aged nine.
‘Denise is excited to be home from Spain with her husband and children. Filming [Glow And Darkness] in Spain has been wonderful as the only pot being stirred is their incredible Spanish food,’ the source said.
