Denise Richards is once again stepping into the world of reality television . However this time it is not with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Richards is set to star in a new Bravo series titled Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. This new show promises to offer viewers a closer look at her life as a mother wife and actress. Even before its premiere the buzz around the show is building with Richards herself sharing interesting details about her past experiences on reality TV and her current family life.
Recently Richards participated in Bravo's Hot Mic podcast. During this podcast appearance she revealed some behind-the-scenes stories from her time on RHOBH . These stories and other insights are creating anticipation for what her new show might bring. From hilarious revelations about craft services on RHOBH to deeper looks at her family dynamics including her relationship with ex-husband Charlie Sheen the upcoming series seems to have a lot in store for viewers interested in Denise Richards' world.
Denise Richards Shares Hilarious Craft Service Revelation from Her Time on RHOBH
The Lack of Craft Services on Reality TV Surprised Richards
One of the most amusing anecdotes Richards shared on the Hot Mic podcast revolved around her expectations versus the reality of filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Coming from a scripted acting background Richards was used to certain on-set norms. One of these norms is the presence of craft services which provide food and drinks throughout filming days. However Richards quickly learned that reality TV operates a bit differently.
According to Richards when she started filming RHOBH and went on the cast trip to The Bahamas she was in for a surprise. She was looking for craft services a staple on movie sets and was met with blank stares. Fellow housewife Lisa Rinna had to break it to her that unlimited food and drink provisions are not standard in reality TV productions like RHOBH. Richards admitted she thought Rinna was joking at first finding it hard to believe there would be no craft services on set.
This revelation was quite funny. It underscored the contrast between Richards' scripted world and the unscripted realm of reality television. It also highlighted a funny moment from her early days on RHOBH a moment she now recounts with laughter.
The Unscripted World of Reality TV Was a Big Change For Denise Richards
Adjusting from Scripted Roles to Reality Show Dynamics
Richards explained that transitioning to reality TV from her usual scripted roles in movies and television was an adjustment. She mentioned that she even told her then-boyfriend now-husband Aaron Phypers that she needed to approach RHOBH filming as if she were going on location for a movie shoot. This mindset suggests she was preparing for a different kind of work environment one that was less controlled and more unpredictable than what she was used to.
The Lack of Craft Services was just one small example of these differences. More broadly Richards had to get accustomed to the unscripted nature of the show. She was used to following scripts and playing characters. In RHOBH she was expected to be herself in real-life situations which was a new challenge. Despite knowing some of her castmates beforehand like Kyle Richards Camille Grammer and Lisa Rinna filming a reality show was a different experience altogether. She likened the "iconic" series to an "unscripted" version of classic soap operas. This comparison acknowledges the dramatic and interpersonal dynamics inherent in shows like RHOBH but from a totally unscripted angle.
Her initial surprise about the absence of craft services and her overall approach to filming RHOBH highlight the learning curve Richards faced entering the reality TV sphere. It is clear that despite her Hollywood background reality television presented its own unique set of rules and expectations.

Adding to the anticipation for Denise Richards & Her Wild Things are recent social media posts and trailers that give glimpses into Richards' family life.

These images showed a warm family setting with Denise Sami and sister Lola Sheen along with their pets. Sami's caption referred to Denise as her "beautiful mom" expressing her love. This public display of family affection offers a contrast to any potential drama teased in the show trailers.
Trailers for Denise Richards & Her Wild Things suggest the show will not shy away from family challenges. Richards acknowledges the difficulties of parenting in Hollywood particularly with famous parents like herself and Charlie Sheen . In one trailer scene she humorously refers to herself and Sheen as "f----- up parents" and her daughters as "f----- up kids" before clarifying she was joking. She also confesses that keeping the family together is hard and parenting older children presents its own unique set of challenges. These trailer snippets combined with Sami’s birthday post paint a picture of a family that is both loving and navigating real-life complexities. The show seems set to explore both the heartwarming and challenging aspects of the Richards-Phypers family dynamic.
Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen Will Have a Reunion on Her New Reality Series
Ex-Spouses Reunite On-Screen After Divorce
Perhaps one of the most intriguing reveals about Denise Richards & Her Wild Things is the inclusion of Charlie Sheen. Denise Richards herself confirmed that her ex-husband Charlie Sheen will appear in her new reality show . This is particularly noteworthy because Richards stated that viewers will see them "sitting in a room talking" for the first time on camera since their divorce. Given their past tumultuous relationship and very public divorce this on-screen reunion is anticipated to be a significant moment.
Richards hinted that the scene between her and Sheen is not necessarily dramatic but rather "riveting." She emphasized that despite their past "turmoil" they have developed a co-parenting relationship where they can joke together and share a sense of humor. This suggests a level of reconciliation and maturity in their current dynamic. She explained that over the years despite tabloid coverage of their conflicts they have always prioritized their family unit for their daughters Sami and Lola. This effort to maintain a family unit even after divorce will likely be a central theme explored in their on-screen conversation.
Charlie Sheen's initial reaction to Denise Richards doing another reality show was reportedly one of concern. However he has since become supportive even sending Richards a "wonderful sweet positive text" after seeing the show's trailer. This evolution in Sheen's perspective and his willingness to appear on the show indicate a positive shift in their relationship making their on-screen reunion even more compelling for audiences.
Denise Richards & Her Wild Things is poised to be an interesting watch. From funny behind-the-scenes glimpses of Richards' reality TV journey on RHOBH to intimate looks at her family life and even a reunion with Charlie Sheen the show appears to offer a comprehensive view of Denise Richards' world. As viewers eagerly anticipate the premiere it is clear that Richards' return to reality TV is set to be anything but calm promising a blend of humor heart and perhaps a few "wild things" along the way.
