You know him from the CBS hit series Two and a Half Men and Platoon. You know her from Wild Things and Starship Troopers. Who would have thought that several sitcoms, movies and 2 kids later, Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards would be caught up in a legal battle so scandalous? So messy? So very much like Hollywood...
If you’ve been living under a rock, let me fill you in on the goss. Denise Richards recently filed for a divorce from hubby Charlie Sheen after 3 years of a somewhat unsteady marriage. Scandalous yes, but then again it seems that almost everyone in Hollywood gets a divorce at least once in their lifetime. But what makes the Richards-Sheen story stand out from the rest is that a temporary restraining order was issued against Sheen for reasons that will make you realise how unglamorous Hollywood can be.
In a 17-page declaration by Richards, it is alleged that she was pushed and shoved by Sheen several times, threatened with violence and made to fear for the safety of her parents. Of course, Sheen denies all the allegations.
The restraining order requires him to stay 90 metres away from Richards, her home and her car at all times. He must also stay away from their two children except during supervised visits which are to take place just once a week.
Anyone who has been through a split will know just how messy, time consuming and emotionally draining it can be. But imagine having it announced to the whole world. Divorce, restraining orders and a smorgasbord of legal issues are probably the last things anyone under the target of the paparazzi would want publicised. It’s bad enough as it is, could this story get any worse?
When Denise Richards recently decided to hook up with Richie Sambora, (YES, as in the Richie that was going out with Denise’s good friend, Heather Locklear) I think you could say that the story got a whole lot more complicated...
