Denise Richards’ Most Candid Interview About Charlie Sheen Revisited

Us Weekly scored one of its most extreme interviews back in August 2011 when Denise Richards graced the cover.

At 53, Richards opened up about a myriad of topics, from plastic surgery to drugs and even sex workers, making it one of the magazine’s most raw and candid interviews. This no-holds-barred conversation occurred before she made headlines on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills by wearing her pink jacket upside down.

Richards also provided insight into her tumultuous relationship with Charlie Sheen, revealing that she filed for divorce while she was six months pregnant. The couple was married from 2002 to 2006 and have two daughters, Sami, 20, and Lola, 19. Richards described what she called Sheen’s “craziest night ever” and discussed how much their children knew about the tumultuous ups and downs of their past relationship.

Richards has since found happiness with husband Aaron Phypers, who has made quite an impression on viewers of The Real Housewives. The pair recently celebrated their union and are gearing up for Richards’ return to TV with a new reality show on NBCU, set to premiere next year. The network hints that the show will be “chaotic” and full of surprises.

Meanwhile, in 2011, Jennifer Lopez was navigating her own public relationship changes. She was seen partying shortly after announcing her divorce from Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max. Their divorce was finalized in 2014. Since then, Lopez has married Ben Affleck, yet recent speculations about their relationship’s status have Us observers wondering if history might repeat itself. Lopez, who just turned 55, celebrated her birthday in the Hamptons without Affleck, stirring more gossip.

Ye Olde Us balanced heart-wrenching headlines, such as a tragic report on Amy Winehouse, with lighter fare. One notable instance was a scoop on Bachelorette, featuring Ashley Hebert and what looked like a spoiler for the finale. Fans of Bachelor Nation would go on to learn that Hebert chose J.P. Rosenbaum. However, their story did not have a fairy-tale ending. The couple, who share two children, ended their marriage in October 2020. A year later, Us broke the news that their divorce was finalized.

Life has moved forward for Hebert, who has since found love again with her boyfriend, Yanni Georgoulakis. These glimpses into the past show the ever-evolving nature of celebrity lives, marked by ups and downs, triumphs, and setbacks.
