<p>American actress and television personality Denise Richards took some time to consider her divorce from ex-husband Charlie Sheen on this week’s Dear Media&nbsp;podcast ‘Divorced Not Dead’. Sheen and Richards divorced in 2006 when she was six months pregnant with their second daughter, Lola. She told interviewer Caroline Stanbury, "I said to myself: ‘Would I want my daughters to be married to this man?'"&nbsp;</p>

<p>"No offense to him but I think he would take that and understand what I’m saying, and that’s when I was like, ‘Well, why am I accepting this?'", she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sheen has a history of substance abuse and has also been accused of numerous sexual abuse and assault allegations, Entertainment Tonight reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Richards, 51, revealed having a tough time accepting her separation from Charlie and said that she "felt guilty for splitting up the family unit." "I struggled with that for years."</p>

<p>The ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ alum further added, "It was not a good situation."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Richards revealed that she and Sheen reconciled after the birth of Lola but split soon after, terming&nbsp;their marriage "very toxic." She then requested full custody of their two girls and a restraining order against Sheen shortly after they got divorced. But Richards said&nbsp;that she always made an effort to allow the girls to see their father, even though she has maintained legal custody of them ever since.</p>

<p>"There is a lot that the public doesn't know, and you never know what goes on behind closed doors," said the ‘Wild Things’ star.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The times where he was in a good space and able to, I wanted the girls to get to know their dad for him and not what he struggles with. I wanted them to know their dad for them and not what they may or may not read about him," she said.&nbsp;</p>

Charlie Sheen does ‘not condone’ his daughter Sami Sheen’s OnlyFans career

<p>'Two And A Half Men' star Charlie Sheen will no longer have to pay his actress ex-wife Denise Richards any child support, reports claim.</p>

<p>The actor's request to stop paying his ex-wife child support for their two daughters--Sami, 17, and Lola, 16--has reportedly been granted. Richards, on the other hand, did not file any documents challenging the ruling.</p>

<p>"Denise didn’t have a falling out with her daughters and she cares about them deeply... &nbsp;(Sami lives with Sheen) and Lola doesn’t live there permanently. She goes back and forth. Lola lives with Denise. When Denise is filming, Lola stays with her dad and sister," a source was quoted as saying by an international news website.</p>

<p>The source then went on to add, "Denise wasn’t at court because she is working out of state, which Charlie was well aware of. The source shares that Sheen filed the paperwork two years ago and "kept pushing the court date. Denise was never served this court date."</p>

<p>According to the same source, Charlie Sheen has allegedly not been paying Richards any child support for at least four years.</p>

<p>Sheen and Richards were married between 2002 to 2006. The actor was also married to Brooke Mueller and the former couple share twin boys Bob and Max together. Sheen also has a daughter Cassandra with Paula Profit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This latest development comes just a few weeks after Sami had alleged that Richards' home owing to it being an 'abusive household' in a TikTok video. A source had told the same global news website at the time that Sami's accusations had left the actress 'heartbroken'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video has now been switched to private mode. In it, could be seen fighting back tears, whle writing, "1 year ago today: trapped in an abusive household, hated myself, would go days without eating or sleeping, insanely depressed, hated school, etc…"</p>
