Denise Richards has opened up about the profound challenges she faced following her 2006 divorce from actor Charlie Sheen, describing a period where she felt she had "hit rock bottom" and became a "shell" of her former self.
In a recent interview, Richards reflected on the tumultuous end of their marriage, which was marked by Sheen's struggles with substance abuse.
She recalled filing for divorce while six months pregnant with their second daughter, Lola, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
Richards admitted that during this time, her public image suffered, and her career faced setbacks.
She also dealt with personal loss, including the death of her mother from cancer.
Despite these hardships, Richards focused on providing a stable and loving environment for their daughters, Sami and Lola.
She acknowledged that the behind-the-scenes challenges were even more severe than what the public perceived, leading her to question whether she would want her daughters to be in a similar situation.
This introspection reinforced her decision to end the marriage, labeling it as "toxic."
Today, Richards and Sheen maintain a civil relationship, both supporting their daughters and respecting each other's roles in their lives.
Richards expressed her commitment to always being there for Sheen, hoping he continues to be the best father possible for their children.
