Okay everyone buckle up because Denise Richards is back in the spotlight but this time it is not all sunshine and roses. Her new reality show "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things" is dropping and guess what? It is serving up some serious family drama. We are talking daughter feuds complicated relationships with ex Charlie Sheen and Denise getting super honest about it all. Let's dive in!
Sister Showdown! Denise Richards Reveals Daughters Sami and Lola Are in a Major Feud
Get ready for some family friction. Denise Richards spilled the tea on her new show that daughters Sami and Lola are currently not speaking. Yes you heard that right. Apparently things are tense between the Sheen sisters and it sounds pretty intense.
Denise explained that Lola even skipped their annual family vacation because of the fight with Sami. The reason for the sisterly strife? A classic case of ex-boyfriend drama and some "girl code" violations it seems. Lola remained friends with Sami’s ex-boyfriend and well that did not go over well.
Both Sami and Lola shared their sides of the story in confessionals on the show. Lola thinks Sami always suspected she liked her boyfriend. Lola says she even introduced them! She felt Sami expected her to ditch her friend completely just because he was Sami's ex. Sami on the other hand feels betrayed claiming Lola and the ex-boyfriend were talking about her behind her back. She said that is a major "girl code" break especially between sisters.
Family BBQ Fail! Tensions Explode as Denise Tries to Mediate Daughter Drama
Being the mom Denise tried to play peacemaker. She hosted a family barbecue hoping to get Sami and Lola to patch things up. Spoiler alert it did not go smoothly. Denise was hoping they could just move past it but Sami was not having it. When they all sat down to talk Sami immediately quipped that reconciliation would "only be successful if someone here was capable of holding themselves accountable." Ouch.
Lola fired back saying Sami needed to be respectful and "not cuss me out." Then things really escalated. Sami straight up called Lola a "bitch" saying Lola had "disrespected me one too many times." Yep it got real ugly real fast. Both sisters stormed off leaving Denise wondering where she went wrong. She even questioned "Do I worry that my parenting has f---ed my kids? Of course I do.” It's raw honest and sounds like a lot of relatable family stress.
Beyond Boyfriends Religion Enters the Sister Feud and Makes Things Even More Complicated
The drama does not stop with boyfriend issues. Religion has also become a factor in the Sami and Lola rift. Lola says she became "a woman of God" after turning 18 and that this played a role in their issues. Lola feels Sami just can't understand her perspective without "the Lord" in her heart. Both sisters admit they feel they have "nothing" in common anymore except being related. Sami even feels like Lola is judging her lifestyle and beliefs.
In a later attempt to talk things out with their cousin mediating things went from bad to worse when old grudges resurfaced. Lola brought up that Sami had dated her ex-boyfriend's best friend. Sami claimed Lola was fine with it at the time but Lola admitted she actually did have a problem and had told Sami so but Sami "didn't care." Then Sami accused Lola of being "touchy" and "flirty" with her ex-boyfriend further fueling the fire.
Despite all the yelling and accusations there was a tiny glimmer of hope. Lola apologized for hurting Sami and acknowledged her feelings. Sami surprisingly apologized too for saying hurtful things. They even exchanged "I love yous" which Lola noted was a big deal for Sami. Lola is hopeful time will heal things but for now it is definitely complicated sister territory.
Co-Parenting Chaos and "Complicated" Charlie Sheen Relationship
Speaking of complicated family dynamics Denise also opened up about her daughters' relationship with their dad Charlie Sheen. She described it as "complicated" and "up and down from day one." Despite the ups and downs Denise says they always "get through it." She believes viewers will find their family relatable because divorce and blended families are never easy no matter the circumstances.
Lola chimed in saying she prefers having a relationship with Charlie because not talking creates unpleasant feelings for her. She admitted they have "ups and downs" but overall their relationship is "good" now. Interestingly Lola shared that Charlie has actually helped her with her mental health. She said his "blunt personality" and non-emotional approach were helpful for her anxiety especially when she was struggling with hypochondria. Charlie Sheen being the calm supportive parent? That is a bit of a surprise.
Sami on the other hand remained more tight-lipped about her relationship with Charlie saying that is "what the show is for" hinting that it will be explored on "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things." Charlie Sheen himself will even make an appearance on the reality show. Denise said it "took some convincing" but he eventually agreed and is "so happy for the girls" being on the show. It seems despite the "complicated" history Charlie is supportive of his daughters and is still "part of the family."
