Aaron Feifers
When you're Jeff Lewis, the drama never stops.
Jeff Lewis
I don't need therapy. I don't need a prayer service.
Aaron Feifers
I need the fucking facts.
Jeff Lewis
Get to the point. She shut me down.
Denise Richards
I know.
Aaron Feifers
She's like, I don't want this toxic man near me.
Denise Richards
See, you're a nice person.
Jeff Lewis
Don't tell anyone.
Denise Richards
Well, nobody thinks it, so it doesn't matter. Jeff Lewis has issues.
Aaron Feifers
Hey, it's Jeff Lewis and I have issues. In today's episode, Denise Richards and Aaron Feifers join the show. We talk about Denise's new reality show, sneaking out of the house and neck lifts. I normally would be very stressed out, but the fact that you guys just got into the studio and we're live, but I'm on cold medication, so I don't give a fuck.
Denise Richards
But you know what? I've never been late before, so I think I would be here.
Aaron Feifers
I knew you would be here on time. Well, I thought, you know, even if she shows up after the first break, I got this. We're okay.
Denise Richards
The traffic has been.
Aaron Feifers
It's so. It's crazy bad from where you guys live, which, first of all, I have to tell you, I love your new show.
Denise Richards
Oh, you do?
Unnamed Speaker 1
Great.
Aaron Feifers
Shane and I both like. I love the show because I went on Peacock. I went on Peacock. And so it's called Denise Richards and Her Wild Things and Wild Thing right here. And it's. So what's great is it's the whole family.
Denise Richards
Yes.
Aaron Feifers
It's Aaron. It's the girls. It's Brooke Mueller. It's Patrick Muldoon. It's Charlie Sheen. It's like, it's everybody but we. So I wanted. I was on Peacock, and I just kind of, like, was channel surfing, you know, and I saw it and it just kind of drew me in, and then I ended. I don't know what happened, but I've watched six in, like, one sitting. I'm so glad it goes by so fast.
Denise Richards
Thank you.
Aaron Feifers
I have to talk about your kids.
Denise Richards
It's.
Aaron Feifers
First of all, Lola is like Snow White.
Unnamed Speaker 1
She is.
Aaron Feifers
She is the sweetest, most seemingly innocent, like, soft spoken.
Denise Richards
She's a little fairy.
Aaron Feifers
It's insane. Like, I can't even believe she grew up here in Los Angeles.
Denise Richards
Thank you for saying that. Not that there's anything bad growing up in Los Angeles, but. Yes. No, she. From day one, she's. First of all, I'm sure you could tell my girls are opposite.
Aaron Feifers
Yes.
Denise Richards
And Eloise is like the mediator of the two, but. Yeah. No, Lola has always been like this little fairy, this little bird. She's just. She's always been super innocent. Right, Right.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah.
Aaron Feifers
She wears her heart on her sleeve.
Denise Richards
She does.
Jeff Lewis
It's.
Aaron Feifers
I mean, you just, like, I just want to protect. You know, she really is. And. And then you've got Sammy. But I understand Sammy because I've been, you know, I'm now six episodes in, so I get her. She's. She has her walls up. She's very strong, she's very confident, she's very driven. But there's. There, it's seemingly a lack of softness, you know, when you compare it to Lola. But I'll tell you where she got me with Eloise.
Unnamed Speaker 2
I was thinking the same way.
Aaron Feifers
The way she interacts with Eloise, I'm.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Like, I love it.
Aaron Feifers
I was like, okay, this is like, she's really a sweet girl.
Unnamed Speaker 1
She's got a big heart.
Aaron Feifers
She does. But you don't see it on the show until she interacts with Eloise.
Unnamed Speaker 2
Not for Lola.
Aaron Feifers
Not for Lola.
Denise Richards
She does, actually, Lola, when she. She said that she. Even though they will have their little fights and all that, at the end of the day, she said she's very protective of Lola. Yeah, Sammy is very strong and she's tough.
Aaron Feifers
She is tough.
Denise Richards
She is tough. From day one, she was tough. And there were times when she was like, yeah, when she was a tween. And I would cry to my dad, my dad goes, you're gonna be so thankful when she's older that she's this real strong woman. I go, I know, I will. But right now it's really hard.
Aaron Feifers
I imagine she's put you through it.
Denise Richards
Yeah, but. But it's okay. It's part of being a parent.
Aaron Feifers
She's gorgeous, by the way. She looks like you. She's gorgeous. Yeah. And I think she. I mean, what a beautiful apartment. She's. She got that herself. Yeah, she's very. So she's independent, self supporting and she's got a drive.
Denise Richards
I know. She's. She is, she's really. Lola. I won't let her leave because I'm like, okay, I already had one leave. I cannot have the other one.
Unnamed Speaker 1
She's so sweet and innocent though. Lola, I feel like she needs.
Aaron Feifers
You got to protect her. I think she's got to stay under your roof for a while.
Denise Richards
Lola's put us through some stuff too, in a different way because she is so innocent and doesn't realize things.
Unnamed Speaker 1
And you know, if you are mad, you can't help just like, yeah, okay.
Denise Richards
The first time I left her, Erin was in charge. I was in Vancouver and she had a sleepover with two other girls. And I get a text in the middle of the night with a video. They snuck out and they. It was August and there was hoodies. They built bodies in the bed.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah, I get this.
Denise Richards
Aaron checked on them because he heard something go off, like the alarm on camera outside.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Because I knew they were sneaking up.
Denise Richards
And he opened the door and he was like, oh, they're in there. And then he was like, wait a second. And he goes in. They're all faced the same way. There were hoodies.
Unnamed Speaker 1
A dead giveaway. They all have their hoodies. They're all face and they're perfect the same direction.
Denise Richards
So you didn't see the face of all the clothes that were stuck.
Unnamed Speaker 1
They even left their phones there.
Denise Richards
They left their phones plugged in so we couldn't track them.
Unnamed Speaker 1
So, yeah, so they, they left their, their phones there.
Denise Richards
This was a couple years ago. It was after our first season on Housewives.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah, but here's the thing. When they came back, so they were so stupid, the night vision on the, on the camera picked them up and it, it flashed. And then they're all standing there like.
Denise Richards
They'Re staring at the camera in the headlights.
Aaron Feifers
Yes.
Denise Richards
Yeah. And her friend goes, lola, I think there's a camera right there. Memory recorded.
Unnamed Speaker 1
It was, it was really funny.
Aaron Feifers
I have to. Okay, I've got to understand.
Denise Richards
Do you want to know where they went?
Aaron Feifers
Yes, IHOP. This is at 3:00 in the morning in the Morning.
Unnamed Speaker 1
In the morning.
Denise Richards
They called an Uber. They used their friends moms account. And I was really upset that they were at IHOP because nothing good could happen there at 3:00 in the morning.
Aaron Feifers
Agreed.
Denise Richards
Where they were, the location. And then they went to Rodeo Drive and took photos on Rodeo Drive at 3am 3am yeah, that's what they did when they snuck.
Aaron Feifers
How old were the girls then?
Denise Richards
Okay, so wait, they were in seventh grade.
Aaron Feifers
Oh, yeah, we'd have. I'd have a real problem.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah, we had a. We had an issue.
Denise Richards
Yeah, we did.
Unnamed Speaker 1
But then the, you know, the story now is kind of funny years later.
Denise Richards
But still it's like.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah, but.
Denise Richards
Yeah, so they both have put us through a lot in different ways.
Aaron Feifers
Explain to me the living situation. So I, I want to understand this. So I see this house in Malibu. Now you. Do you own that house in Malibu?
Denise Richards
We don't have a. There is no house in Malibu. So we have. So we rent a house in Calabasas. After the Woosley fires, we rented a place trying to still figure out a house or townhouse. A house in Calabasas. Okay then. Well, the in laws have been there for a bit, which is wonderful. They've been super helpful. No, they've been super helpful.
Unnamed Speaker 1
They've been super helpful. Take care of.
Denise Richards
But. So I rented a townhouse to do like glam and, you know, studio space. Yeah, exactly. And then Thin laws are still there. So then we rented another one in the same community. It's like Melrose Place. Yeah, we have three there. Which is stupid.
Unnamed Speaker 1
It is, but we used it to film because we weren't getting. We were getting pushed back to film at the other place.
Denise Richards
No, that's not true.
Unnamed Speaker 1
It's like I was told. Anyway, I stand corrected.
Denise Richards
Anyway, there we go. It gives us.
Aaron Feifers
So what do we do with the three? What are we doing with the. So you've got. So you have the one house in Calabasas.
Denise Richards
We're figuring all this out.
Aaron Feifers
Where the in laws live?
Denise Richards
Yeah, they're.
Unnamed Speaker 1
They're.
Denise Richards
It's a. It's a large house there. And so we crazily go back and forth, but for us to have privacy and peace, we'll stay at one of the other town.
Aaron Feifers
Well, I would put my in laws in one of the townhouses.
Denise Richards
That would be the smart thing.
Aaron Feifers
Right? And then you guys stay in the business.
Denise Richards
Exactly. Yeah, yeah, we're working all that out.
Unnamed Speaker 1
We have a couple large dogs over at the other place too. So it's not. You know, basically, she tries to Help out.
Aaron Feifers
But I want to understand why they're.
Denise Richards
You're gonna give us. Put us in therapy after.
Aaron Feifers
I just understand why there's three. So you've got the townhouse for work. Then you have the one that you're.
Denise Richards
Living because it wasn't enough room. Because then I moved like one's basically glam and then one turned into a closet and then one.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Her clothes. I mean, there's not enough storage anywhere on the planet.
Denise Richards
But I'm getting rid. We're getting rid of one. I think we can condense it, but yeah, no, we're working all this out.
Aaron Feifers
So do the girls live with you in the one townhouse?
Denise Richards
So we have one townhouse that's set up like a house.
Aaron Feifers
Okay.
Denise Richards
So we all left. We all left the house that we.
Aaron Feifers
Rent into the townhouse into one townhouse.
Denise Richards
That'S furnished and beautiful. And then we have a closet and then we have a studio office set.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Up like a studio. We've got a roll down backdrop and it's electronica built and.
Aaron Feifers
Yeah, I saw that. It's an amazing studio now. Okay, so in the big house, how many animals do we have in the big house?
Denise Richards
Well, sadly, we just lost my 18 year old. Our 18 year old dog.
Aaron Feifers
I'm sorry.
Denise Richards
Thank you. She passed away yesterday. And then, you know, we've had.
Aaron Feifers
You have a lot of animals.
Denise Richards
Yeah, not too many, but it's. Anyway.
Aaron Feifers
Okay, so just the right amount.
Denise Richards
You don't want to say because of.
Aaron Feifers
My suicide, but I.
Denise Richards
But I will say it was unexpected.
Aaron Feifers
I see. I've had the pleasure of getting to know you off camera, off radio, and I know who you are and what I like about this show, it is really a very true depiction of who you are as a person.
Denise Richards
Oh, thank you.
Aaron Feifers
And you're both extremely generous, extremely giving, extremely welcoming. And the fact that you take in all these animals and you take in people, you take in kids, you take in. I mean, it's like anybody that needs a place or needs money or needs. Yeah, I mean, you really do give back. And I think that it's for those of you that don't know the real Denise Richards, I think this really shows who you are.
Denise Richards
Thank you for saying that.
Aaron Feifers
And you're a great mom. You really are a great mom.
Unnamed Speaker 1
You are a great mom. You really care.
Denise Richards
Thank you. One of the things that I told the girls before, because we saw you right before the show started airing.
Aaron Feifers
Yes, Right.
Denise Richards
So when, you know, when Alex Baskin approached us about doing the show and everything and everyone was on board and all that. One of the things that I said to the girls especially is I wanted to make sure that they were themselves because I didn't. There was nothing off limits. I didn't want to put up boundaries. I. You know, we didn't have like a family meeting. Okay. This isn't what we're talking about. Or this. I just said, girl, I want you to. We wanted them to like, just be their authentic self. Yeah, they were. I. They are. And. And then I was like, oh, maybe we should ran it. I don't know.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Maybe we should have.
Denise Richards
Said let's do that to a certain extent. No, I'm joking. No. I'm glad, though, that they're themselves too.
Unnamed Speaker 1
And thank God for Brian, the editor on this. I mean, he really, you know, got the sense of who we are and it's so sweet.
Unnamed Speaker 2
Like, there's so much heart, like I thought. But it's also funny, but you can tell how much you love the girls and like, it's just, it's. It's really a perfect show.
Aaron Feifers
I'm also, I'm very curious about Eloise and I enjoy her storyline.
Denise Richards
Thank you.
Aaron Feifers
And it's weird to say storyline, but I thought it was interesting that you had pulled her out of school and then you have this like full time a tutor and she seemed to be working really well with her and I don't know, like, it was like a sweet moment where she's teaching her how to communicate and how she's texting and so what she can't say, she can now write. I mean, it's kind of amazing. Like, I, I really, I enjoyed that part of the show.
Denise Richards
Thank you so much.
Unnamed Speaker 1
She's such a. I love Eloise. She's just, you know, you're having a bad day, just go hang out with her and it's a great day.
Denise Richards
Happy all the time. And, um, actually a lot of people have reached out to me because a lot of people in the public aren't super open about certain situations with their children, which I understand and respect. Um, but it's been really wonderful to have people reach out that are in similar situations or they have friends that, you know, have similar situations. And so I'm. Eloise was the first one. You know, she loved watching the Housewives. She would just rewind the beginning holding the diamond she kept. She loved watching that. And then we would show the scenes that she was in on that show. And so we asked her. She was so excited about being on the show when we had them mic her every Single time. And they were so wonderful with her. You know, she's primarily nonverbal, so it made her feel special that she also got a mic and that she was one of us and that she was included and. Yeah. And she would laugh at the camera. Every time she would see the camera, she would wave to the camera guys and laugh and she just lights up in front of the camera. So it's also. It's really been wonderful for her to.
Aaron Feifers
I would imagine. I would imagine. And does she also get like a little glam like all the other girls? So she probably just loves it. But I do think that because my brother has a special needs daughter and I understand their need, they feel very protective and I understand that. But with you, by putting it out there, you do end up helping a lot of people. Right. Cause you find that people reach out to you with questions. And I think there's kind of a fine line of protecting her privacy. But then also, you know, you really are. You have this platform where you can help people with awareness and all of that.
Denise Richards
You know, I decided to be really open about her situation early on because, you know, there was a. When paparazzi would take photos of me carrying her when she was older, old enough to not be carried. And. And it was because if I let go over at that time, she would just walk in front of a car, you know, and it was a safety thing. Or sometimes if her hair is not brushed super properly or she loves to wear her shoes on the opposite feet and it's more comfortable for her. So people can be super judgmental. And so that's also part of why I really wanted to be open about it. So people know it's.
Aaron Feifers
It's not neglect.
Denise Richards
Yeah, absolutely.
Unnamed Speaker 1
It's might look at it as that it's not. She wants to do her thing and we try to encourage her.
Denise Richards
She's learning to brush her hair. So sometimes we're like, oh, my gosh, the hairstyle. But it's okay.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah, it looks like a rat's nest.
Denise Richards
But it's because people are judgmental, being like, why the hell didn't you brush her fucking hair? It's. She's learning to brush it, and we want her to feel good about doing certain things for herself too. So that's also a big reason why I, you know, I. I want people to. It's okay to. For us, we want to be open about her situation.
Aaron Feifers
Well, again, I just. I. Really enjoying the show. Thank you. I just started seven, and I know there's eight episodes.
Denise Richards
Yes.
Aaron Feifers
But I'm anxious because. Oh yeah. The season finale's tonight. Tonight on Bravo. I think it's at 9:00.
Denise Richards
Yes.
Aaron Feifers
And then you can get it on Peacock the next day. So I've been watching it on Peacock and just binging. Because they're so short, the episodes without commercials that it's such a binge able show. So I. I recommend waiting for a couple and then just watching a couple at a time. Is that how you did it?
Unnamed Speaker 2
Yeah. Well, for me it was such a good plane show because you can just watch them all back to back to back to back. And so they're all on Peacock now.
Aaron Feifers
That's why I didn't finish seven, because we landed. Otherwise I was like pissed because I started seven and it was. And I was looking forward to seven because that's Charlie.
Denise Richards
When Charlie, he was very excited that it was airing now.
Aaron Feifers
Were you. You. You did meant. Did you talk about that?
Unnamed Speaker 2
His sink, his neck.
Denise Richards
His neck?
Aaron Feifers
Yeah.
Denise Richards
Yeah.
Aaron Feifers
Okay. I didn't want to say anything.
Denise Richards
Oh, yeah, no, he's open. I wouldn't have.
Unnamed Speaker 2
You were more open about it than he was.
Denise Richards
Well, which was odd because he filmed it like it was all over Instagram. So that's why I said it. I wouldn't have said shit. But I was so curious to see the neck afterwards. But who did it?
Aaron Feifers
Mercedes just left. She just had her neck done two weeks ago.
Denise Richards
It's the guy that invented the V lift or whatever. You're awake during it.
Aaron Feifers
Oh, no, no, thanks.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Pull your skin away.
Denise Richards
I don't want to be working in la. But how does it look?
Aaron Feifers
How does it look?
Denise Richards
It looks good.
Aaron Feifers
Okay. You hesitated for a second.
Unnamed Speaker 1
You know, I picked up on that too.
Denise Richards
I was trying to. I hadn't. No, it looks good. It's subtle, which is good. It doesn't look done and I think that's good. He looks good work when it doesn't look done.
Aaron Feifers
Okay.
Denise Richards
I think that's.
Aaron Feifers
You were complaining about your neck on the show.
Denise Richards
Yeah.
Aaron Feifers
So did you do something?
Denise Richards
No, I didn't do anything, but it looks.
Aaron Feifers
It looks good today.
Denise Richards
I tried that and it. It went. And I was like, oh, one side went down. I've tried it though.
Aaron Feifers
Well, what are you doing? Because it looks really good.
Denise Richards
Oh, I am doing. It's mostly like internal. Like peptides. I've noticed a huge, huge difference doing that.
Aaron Feifers
Peptides.
Denise Richards
Peptides balancing hormones. I gotta talk to Aaron.
Aaron Feifers
Yeah, Aaron. So I'm. I haven't been. I got. I got sick in Hawaii. Like just a cold and But I've got to get better by the weekend. How do you feel about these mobile IV services? Because I got one yesterday.
Unnamed Speaker 1
How do you feel with doing it?
Aaron Feifers
Well, I mean, I feel the same.
Unnamed Speaker 1
What do they give you?
Aaron Feifers
All of it. Cb, glutathione, all that stuff.
Unnamed Speaker 1
I mean, it's great.
Aaron Feifers
You like them?
Denise Richards
I do.
Unnamed Speaker 1
She likes them. I mean, there's other ways. I'll send you some information on a little device that you can put on your wrist. And it's a laser and it cleans your blood.
Aaron Feifers
I need to clean my blood?
Unnamed Speaker 1
And it's non invasive.
Aaron Feifers
You know what I love is that you guys are so healthy and you're so fit, yet in the show, you're always ordering a tequila.
Denise Richards
Not always.
Aaron Feifers
Which I love.
Unnamed Speaker 2
Yes, always. That was my favorite part. It does not matter if it's a lunch, if it is a brunch, if it is a breakfast.
Denise Richards
She's like, oh, I won't do breakfast. No way.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah, those days are gone.
Denise Richards
Yeah, no, it's. I know, but you're seeing like, you know, out of the whole year, a few days.
Aaron Feifers
We want to know your skinny girl drink. Well, it's tequila on the rocks, isn't it?
Denise Richards
Or. Or just by itself. But it's not like you don't. Yeah, but it's. But we.
Unnamed Speaker 1
In a dirty glass.
Denise Richards
We eat super healthy, though. Not. But. But we also like junk food too. You know, it's all about. I love snacks, pretzels. But it's all about balance, I find. Okay, I don't do. Like, I'm not. I find, like, if you're super crazy. Well, not for me in particular.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Wait, wait, we are super crazy.
Denise Richards
Well, you mean like if I'm super. Like, if you say no. Diligent with this. And know this, know this, know this. I. I find everything in my mind. There's a balance.
Aaron Feifers
I actually do want to. I want. I want to say. I want to comment on the crazy. I actually don't think you guys are crazy at all. I think you've had. I think you've had crazy lives.
Denise Richards
Yes.
Aaron Feifers
And. But I think the way that you have handled it, grown, learned, evolved. Like, I think that's what I like about the show. Because you, when you watch it, you're like, these are real, down to earth grounded people that have really. Your priorities are completely in order. You know, I think you, you know, family, your relationship, the kids, all of that. So I actually don't think you're crazy at all.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Thank you.
Aaron Feifers
So I don't. I think that's mislabeling.
Denise Richards
Thank you for saying that.
Aaron Feifers
Sure. I mean it's, it's, it's the truth. Yeah. It's how I feel.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Slice of life, you know, just this is who we are.
Aaron Feifers
Now I do want to ask you. They end this was on the show. So I'm not. They said that they reported that OnlyFans that you are making somewhere around $2 million a month on OnlyFans.
Denise Richards
Who said that?
Jeff Lewis
The show said that?
Denise Richards
Our show. Did they like.
Unnamed Speaker 2
They like flashed the headline.
Denise Richards
Well, they flashed a headline.
Aaron Feifers
Yeah. So I don't know if that's true, but that's a lot of money.
Unnamed Speaker 1
That is a lot.
Aaron Feifers
Even if it was half that. Even if it was, we'd have the.
Denise Richards
Whole fans is super lucrative.
Aaron Feifers
Yes.
Denise Richards
And I'm grateful for it. And it's, you know, I post like I said, I've said this so many times on your guys show. I post what I want, I do what I want on it and I own the content and all of that.
Aaron Feifers
So what is the plan? Is the plan to just make as much money as possible, set yourself up for the rest of your life?
Denise Richards
OnlyFans?
Aaron Feifers
Yeah. Move.
Denise Richards
I don't know. You know my plan is, I have to say like one of the things is that engage. I would not have a job without fans for real. And it's not. And I started doing some comic cons. The cast of Starship Troopers did one last year and we were in the uk I think it was in Ireland or something and went and it was so wonderful to do that and meet people who have been a fan of my work or whatever and it's just nice to have that connection. And then I met quite a few people that are on my OnlyFans account but it's.
Unnamed Speaker 1
They bring in pictures.
Aaron Feifers
There's one right over there.
Denise Richards
I remember that perv kid. But it's nice to.
Unnamed Speaker 1
He vetted you.
Denise Richards
Well that's what it is. Just a nice way I know to connect with people whether it's on our Instagram or OnlyFans or doing a comic con or doing this. And you know it's part of why I've had career for as long as I have, you know. And I'm really grateful for it.
Aaron Feifers
So first of all, do you. Do you have like the demographic information? Aaron? So do you know that there's like 27 year old kids that are subscribing to your wife's only fans? I mean he's a pervert but I don't know. He loves milfs.
Unnamed Speaker 1
That's.
Aaron Feifers
I mean, does he make you uncomfortable because he does stare at you?
Denise Richards
Not at all.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Maybe the stare something just put the tongue back. The drool.
Denise Richards
That's. Are we embarrassing you?
Aaron Feifers
Did you go down to the elevator to get her? I know. So Denise, this is the funny part. We have two people that work here, right? So we have Annie and Kian. Now you have to go down to P4 to get you because you need a fob to get up, right? The only time he goes down there is when the hot girls are here. That's it. Otherwise he does not go down.
Denise Richards
So next time I'm here, if he's.
Aaron Feifers
Not, there's literally seven people he goes down to meet.
Denise Richards
Thank you so much. That means a lot.

Aaron Feifers
That's t h r I-v e market.com jeff thrivemarket.com jeff we're talking about Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, which is airing right now 9pm on Bravo every Tuesday. Tonight's the season finale. But then I suggest you just binge it on Peacock starting tomorrow. And it's quick, it's fun. 21 minute episodes, it's kind of light and funny. And I wanted to ask you, did you have control over the edit at all?
Denise Richards
They. No, they edited everything. And I was happy with how everything looked. I'm sure if I had a problem with something or an issue, I'm sure they would have tweaked something. But we were so happy how episodes. They did such a great job. And it's hard for me to watch myself. I don't like watching anything I do, but I had to do it for this. Alex Baskin made me. He goes, you're executive producer. You need to watch it. And I was actually so happy with how fun they, you know, they incorporated the lightness and the funness of it.
Aaron Feifers
And you guys seem like a very happy family.
Denise Richards
Thank you.
Aaron Feifers
And like I said, you've been through it, but you guys have kind of landed in the right place.
Denise Richards
Yeah, we have moments just like everyone.
Aaron Feifers
But I think it's kind of. It's, you know, with all these dramas and some of these reality shows are a bit dark and bit depressing and all the fighting and what's nice about this is that it's just. It's just kind of light and fun, and you laugh and you're smiling at the end.
Unnamed Speaker 2
You're not stressed and anxious.
Denise Richards
Like, a lot of those things should be an escape, you know, like, did you.
Aaron Feifers
So there was a couple cameos.
Denise Richards
Yes.
Aaron Feifers
We saw Kathy Hilton, who I think brings that kind of energy.
Denise Richards
She does.
Aaron Feifers
She's kind of, like, quirky and zany. I thought Erika Jayne was an interesting choice.
Denise Richards
Yeah. You know, I really liked. I love your laugh, Erica. I really liked when I did my first season of Housewives and then the second season, right away, I felt it just kind of went super sideways. And, you know, I just thought that there was some unresolved shit there. So I'm glad that we did get together and be able to talk about it.
Aaron Feifers
I don't know if it has anything to do with you. You know what I mean? So I feel like, you know, I've watched her for years. I am a fan, and I can't imagine, you know, what she's gone through. Like, her whole life.
Denise Richards
I couldn't either.
Aaron Feifers
Her whole life collapsed. Right. So. And, you know, I can't imagine how you really get through that. And as a result, as a. Just a viewer, I don't know her very well. She seems very, you know, angry. Angry and resentful. And, you know, I probably would be, too. I, you know, if I walked in her, you know, a mile in her shoes. But that's why I'm saying I'm. Now I pick up when I see her on camera this very kind of dark, angry.
Unnamed Speaker 1
She kind of wears it maybe on her sleeve or something a little bit.
Aaron Feifers
And it's just my. Maybe it's just my interpretation, but. And then I just. When I was watching the reunion, when she had said that. That thing about Garcelle, which you're just. Maybe you're just not interesting or very interesting, I just thought that really just. I did not like.
Denise Richards
I didn't like it either. You know what else I didn't like either? What she said was when she was almost. I'm sorry, Erica, for saying this. Almost forced to talk about what was going on because it was public, you know, prior to all this stuff being in the press about what was going on with her husband and everything, you didn't know a lot about Erica. And, you know, when she's asking Garcelle and Sutton to share their lives, you know, and she said, well, she shared her life. She didn't. The tabloids did.
Aaron Feifers
She had to.
Denise Richards
She had to. And even at that, there was times the women would question her about certain things and she didn't want to talk about it, which I think is like.
Unnamed Speaker 1
A no fly zone.
Denise Richards
Yeah. So I think sometimes some of the women on the show, it's okay for other women to be open and talk about their kids and all of this and their husbands and whatever, but then, you know, when it comes to their life, then. Mm. Mm.
Aaron Feifers
It just seems like after watching this season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she obviously did not feel supported by the girls at that time and is still caring that, you know, anger and resentment. And she does wear it on her sleeve. She wears it on her sleeve and, you know, it's. But then, you know, I get upset when I watch it, but then I have to remind myself, like, wow, imagine if you had gone through Jeff, what she has gone through.
Denise Richards
Yeah.
Aaron Feifers
When you think your life and your husband are one thing, and then all of a sudden, it just falls apart.
Unnamed Speaker 1
I couldn't imagine falling apart.
Denise Richards
Absolutely. And she's going through so much. She is, though even prior to that, she always seemed a bit guarded. Hard to get to know and really know who she really is. But I think underneath that, she is a fun, sweet woman. And that's what I connected with when I did my first season with her. But, you know, when you first meet her, it's. There's something a little intimidating about her and something a little guarded, but now, especially. And like you said, I can't imagine. You know, and the other thing that she and I did talk about on our show was, you know, I went through so much shit publicly, too. It's not easy, and there are so many people. Obviously, not to the level that she's going through legally and all of that, but still. It's still embarrassing. It's humiliating. It's. You're dealing with a lot of judgment and people saying things. It's not an easy thing to deal with when things are so public.
Aaron Feifers
Well, you know, I wouldn't discount what. Or minimize what you've been through, because you had one of the most public divorces, I think, of all time. And. And it didn't help when you. And it didn't. It didn't help when your husband was making all those comments about you publicly, because everybody was hanging on every word.
Denise Richards
That he was saying that he was saying.
Aaron Feifers
So in a way, you know. No, you didn't have the legal issues, but you certainly had the public scrutiny and negativity.
Denise Richards
Yeah, it was some fun.
Unnamed Speaker 1
It costs you a few.
Aaron Feifers
I thought it was interesting that you had said after the OnlyFans, you've actually had more opportunities.
Denise Richards
I did, and I.
Aaron Feifers
Less opportunities. Why do you think that is?
Denise Richards
Probably because there's a lot of producers and directors on OnlyFans. I don't know. I don't know. It's like, what happens? No, I don't know. I think maybe I just. As you get older, you start to not give so much of a shit, you know, And I wish I had this confidence when I was younger. Although, you know, the thing that I was worried about with Sammy is that she is starting out her career.
Aaron Feifers
Yes.
Denise Richards
I've, you know, done this for a while, and it's. I don't know how many more things I can go through publicly. But she's just starting out, so that's why I was concerned for her. But I don't know. I'm sure there are jobs or certain people that are like, you know what? We're gonna stay away from this because she is on OnlyFans. But I have. I did notice, though, that I was getting more opportunities, too.
Aaron Feifers
You notice that Sammy had. It's almost like she cuts things off before they even happen. Cause she's saying, I'm not a singer. I'm not an actress. I'm not. And I actually think she probably could be a good actress.
Denise Richards
And if she.
Aaron Feifers
But that's where she needs confidence.
Denise Richards
Right, Right. And she's also. She doesn't really realize this. She's a great singer. The girl.
Aaron Feifers
She's a great artist, and she's an amazing artist. She doesn't believe in herself.
Denise Richards
I know.
Unnamed Speaker 1
I've seen some of the stuff.
Denise Richards
I don't know why, like, she can sing. The kids used to do this, go to this singing. It was. It was almost like a. The Jack Black, that movie, School of Rock. It was kind of like that. And it was so cool. And the girls used to do it. And I would just listen to Sammy sing. She can sing. Sing, but she doesn't believe she can sing.
Aaron Feifers
She's putting a lot of emphasis. No, she's a gorgeous girl. Like I said before, she's putting a lot of emphasis on her physical appearance, and she needs to focus on her talents, which I think she probably could act.
Denise Richards
Absolutely.
Aaron Feifers
I mean, she's got to have it in the. In the bloodline here.
Denise Richards
I think she can act.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah, she can.
Denise Richards
Definitely.
Unnamed Speaker 1
I think it's. But you know what? You got to let her develop it.
Aaron Feifers
Figure it out.
Unnamed Speaker 1
Figure it out. Because if you say anything that's like.
Denise Richards
Yeah. And also, I didn't grow up with parents who acted. I didn't grow up in a Hollywood family. So that's gotta be a little. Yeah, I think so too. That's gotta be hard too. You know, the expectations. Yeah, the expectations of her, you know, I think would be high, unfortunately. And that's the thing when everyone's like Nepo babies and all this. There's also the downside of that too, with. There's a lot of expectations put on kids growing up with families that are in. Yeah. And having to, like, you know, live up to whatever it's. I'm sure that's not easy either.
Aaron Feifers
Well, I did pick this up. What'd you pick up? You know, she is this gorgeous girl, but she compares herself to you.
Denise Richards
I know.
Aaron Feifers
And she thinks she's. I mean, she's never gonna be as good looking as her mother, but she. She is. She's a gorgeous girl.
Denise Richards
Thank you.
Aaron Feifers
But I noticed that in the, in the show that she doesn't think she's as attractive. And she's. She is holding her.
Unnamed Speaker 1
She just needs to be her. She shines, she's beautiful. She can do anything she wants to do. But that's the thing of being growing up with famous parents.
Denise Richards
Her whole life she was told that she looks like her dad. And Charlie is a handsome man.
Aaron Feifers
Yes.
Denise Richards
You know, and I'm like, your dad's very good looking and you're a mix of Both of us, the best of both worlds.
Aaron Feifers
I think she has really pretty eyes.
Denise Richards
She's gorgeous.
Aaron Feifers
I want to take line to Linda in Texas.
Unnamed Speaker 2
It'll come to the headphones.
Aaron Feifers
She has a question for you. Denise. I'm sorry, I didn't realize your headphones were not. Hey.
Denise Richards
Oh, I can hear now. Shout out, Shane.
Unnamed Speaker 2
Shout out, Linda.
Denise Richards
Hi, Linda.
Linda
Denise, I just want to say spot on with your assessment of Erica. I actually think that right now she's looking, like, really bad with her weight loss and stuff like that. But my question for you was, do you think that. Well, what were your thoughts on Garcelle leaving the show? Are you guys friends and two, have you been invited maybe to fill that role and would you come back?
Denise Richards
Garcelle and I are friends and I did talk to her. She. Of course she's gonna be missed on the show. I will miss watching her on the show, but, you know, she has to do what's best for her right now. Would I go back? I would. Have I been asked to fill her role? I have not. I'm, you know, still. My show's still airing. Although tonight's the last night and tomorrow. But make sure you watch it. Make sure you watch it, Linda. But yeah, no, it's. And as far as Erica, you know, I. I think she looks gorgeous. She always does.
Aaron Feifers
She does, always. She is a good looking.
Denise Richards
Yeah. I don't know what she's doing. She looks good.
Aaron Feifers
Yeah.
Denise Richards
I want to know who her facialist and all that is. But no, she looks. She's always gorgeous. Yeah. Okay.
Aaron Feifers
But, Denise, would it make sense to you even go to go to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when you have your own show and if there's a potential season two, does it make. Or do you just pop in here and there?
Denise Richards
Yeah, I could pop. I mean, I'm friends with a lot of the women still on the show, so, yeah, if they asked me to come on do something, I would absolutely do that. And I liked being on the show. And I like a lot of the women. Not all of them, but I like a lot of them.
Aaron Feifers
When you say not all of them is one or two names that you didn't love working with on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?
Denise Richards
Well, I think it's obvious.
Aaron Feifers
Well, let's just say it then.
Denise Richards
Well, everyone knows. Well, she's not on anymore, I think. Who's left? Yeah, I'm good.
Aaron Feifers
Yeah. Yeah, you're good with everyone there.
Denise Richards
Yeah.
Aaron Feifers
I mean, it would be fun to have you back, I always say.
Denise Richards
I love bows. I can't. I would. She is. That'd be an amazing housewife.
Aaron Feifers
I like Sutton.
Denise Richards
Sutton's incredible. I know. You guys have. You guys are.
Aaron Feifers
We love Sutton.
Denise Richards
I know. No, you guys are close to her. She's on here quite often.
Aaron Feifers
Yes, well, you have a great rapport.
Denise Richards
It's so funny watching your interviews.
Aaron Feifers
She is. What about Dorit?
Jeff Lewis
Did you get along with Jiret?
Denise Richards
I haven't talked to Jiret in a while. I did get along with her when I did. You know, I think Dorit's also gone through a lot too, and going through a lot, which, you know, I can relate to that with them too, and Kyle's. Obviously, they might want to rename this show. They need to rename it the Ex Wives of Beverly Hills or some shit. No one's married.
Aaron Feifers
I always thought it was funny how that, you know, they all dress to the nines and to impress one, you know, the other, and you just show up in shorts.
Denise Richards
Oh, thank you.
Jeff Lewis
Thanks for listening.
Aaron Feifers
