The Wall Street actor Charlie Sheen and his ex-wife, Denise Richards, have had a quite hectic relationship. People reported that to protect their daughters, the Wild Things actress took her (now ex) husband to court in 2005 because of “irreconcilable differences.”
Things didn’t work out between Sheen and Richards. That being a reason the couple divorced — to take better care of their daughters. Richards then found happiness in her relationship with Aaron Phypers and started happily living after that.
While Sheen is now gearing up for a recurring role in Chuck Lorre’s upcoming comedy, How to Be a Bookie. But there was a time when the heat between these two wasn’t taking a stop. Take a look at one of those moments.
The Time When Charlie Sheen Explicitly Insulted Denise Richards by Calling Her “Terrorist”
In 2015 — eight years after the divorce, Charlie Sheen celebrated Father’s Day by sharing harsh words about Richards in a now-deleted Twitter thread. He issued a series of messages referencing ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller (per The Hollywood Reporter):
“Brooke M is a sexy [rock] star whom I adore; D Richards is a heretic washed up piglet Shame pile,” wrote Sheen. “Happy Father’s Day!!!”
A couple of hours later, Sheen followed up with a different post, in which he wrote an ‘open letter to the media’ where he bashed Richards by calling her the “shakedown piece of shit [douche face] & worst mom alive!” His explicit and lengthy rant included numerous insults about the James Bond actress. He also wrote:
“See u in court you evil terrorist sack of landfill [trash]. b—ch couldn’t act hot in a fire or wet in a pool.”
After this heated social media argument, now everything seems settled between them. In 2020, the actress told US Weekly addressing Sheen that “Communication’s great with him.”
