The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Denise Richards is reportedly shocked by the Charlie Sheen child support verdict. Viewers may remember from Denise's last season of the show when she was having trouble settling her child support issues with her ex. However, her child support became less of an issue as Denise was accused of having an affair with former cast member Brandi Glanville. The women began to question her as they felt like she wasn't being honest and was instead skirting around the issue.
Denise tried a few times to clear her name on RHOBH, but it seemed like none of the ladies wanted to listen to her. After two seasons on the Bravo series, Denise announced that she'd be departing RHOBH. In a statement, Denise revealed that she was leaving the show to focus on other career endeavors and on her family. Overall, it seems like Denise did need the time away from the show to give more attention to her family.
A source close to the 50-year-old told People that she was completely "blindsided" by this latest court date and ruling involving Charlie. The judge announced on Monday that Charlie's child support to Denise will be adjusted to "zero dollars per month" starting from August 1, 2018. A rep for the actress revealed that the 54-year-old had filed the notion two years ago and "kept pushing the court date." Therefore, Denise, who will not be getting child support, was reportedly surprised when she heard "it happened [on Monday] while she is out of town filming." Alas, the source further alleged that Charlie is now "manipulating the situation." The source then added that their youngest daughter, Lola, who Charlie claims lives with him, only lives there when Denise is out of town.
Denise is very disappointed in the situation and believes Charlie is trying to pit their daughters against her. However, another insider revealed that the former reality star actually knew about this court date months in advance. The verdict comes weeks after their eldest daughter Sami posted a TikTok video claiming she was trapped in an "abusive" home but is now living a healthier life in her new situation. Denise claims she set boundaries in her home for Sami, but she is a rebellious teen and didn't want to follow the rules. When the girls are at Charlie's house, he doesn't have any rules for them, hence why Denise believes Sami wanted to move out. Charlie has a different way of parenting that Sami prefers to Denise's. Charlie is more easygoing, while Denise is strict.
All in all, Denise was surprised Charlie would do this to her. He clearly knows how much she loves her daughters and is shocked he would make her out to be the bad guy. In the end, Denise, who is saddened by her daughter moving, wants to fix her relationship with Sami at some point in time.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
