Denise Richards Yapping Again About Her Stupid Reality Show
Yes, she’s at it again…Denise Richards is once again flapping her yapper about her new reality show and defending her decision to whore out her kids in it:
“If I have my kids on my show, I’m exploiting them,” she tells Redbook. Yep. “If I don’t, people will think I’m not a hands-on mom.” Not so much, actually. But “that’s why it’s very important to me that the girls are part of it.” Also, who really cares about Denise Richards by herself anyway?
No joke. I feel about this woman like Dawn feels about the Church of Scientology.
Here’s her non-answer to a question about her children and their role in her reality show:
Do you think that Charlie and the people who say you’re exploiting your children are just trying to protect them?
If Charlie and I had decided together to keep our kids away from the media, I would understand where he’s coming from now. But we made the decision as a couple not to shield our children.
And her classy answer about the father of her daughters:
What’s Charlie’s involvement with the kids now?
He has visitation rights, but I’m raising them. This is their home. Charlie and I are so conflicted, I know it has to confuse the girls. I threw a birthday party for Sam a few weeks ago and sent their dad an invitation, and he didn’t show up. Then at the last minute, he decided to throw her a birthday party the day before at his house. I emailed him asking if he wanted me to help get a list of her friends together, but he didn’t invite one of them, just kids of people he knows.
Don’t get me wrong…I think Charlie Sheen is a bit of a jerk himself, and he definitely has problems and issues of his own. This guy is no saint…but at least he doesn’t have a reality show. Frankly, both Charlie and Denise need to shut up talking aout this stuff in public. For both of them to be discussing these issues about their daughters…well, one day these girls will be old enough to Google. All these two parents are doing is ensuring their daughters’ future…may as well rename them Lindsay and Paris now and save time.
Like I’ve said over and over, her decision to whore out her children for the sake of her own pocketbook has to be one of the nastiest, skankiest decisions I’ve seen in entertainment for a while now. I’m of the opinion that if one absolutely must have a reality show, then keep kids out of it. Maybe if they are teenagers and old enough to understand the way a reality show can warp and screw with their lives…but that’s a huge maybe. I’d say anyone under eighteen has no business on reality TV, and definitely not toddlers who absolutely under no circumstances can make any sort of informed decision about the matter.
I’m still calling for a boycott of her show and of E! network for airing it:
E! Entertainment Television
5750 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036Phone: 323-954-2400
Fax: 323-954-2661
Be respectful, literate, and decent, but let them know in no uncertain terms that a reality show with toddlers crosses the line.

You might as well boycott TLC, Bravo, Style, VH1 and countless others who have shows that have toddlers. You think Denise is the first one to put her kids on a show? Give me a break. I’m not the biggest fan of Denise and I’m probably not going to watch the show either way. I just think the argument that she’s a terrible person for putting her kids on a tv show is stupid when you consider how many other shows have kids.

TLC: Rarely watch it.
Bravo: Haven’t watched since QE went off.
Style: Sounds boring. Never watched it.
VH1: Haven’t watched it since they stopped being an alternative to MTV (back when both stations actually played videos).
No, I don’t watch reality shows with toddlers. In fact, I hate to see baby or child actors. I have seen the occasional reality show with older children but I do not agree with it at all. Children should be free to be children, not worry about cameras recording their every move for mass consumption. I occasionally watch a television show or movie with child actors, but not toddlers, and usually it’s when I know the child has already grown up.
But feel free to make the argument that because many other reality shows feature children, it must be okay. Because, by golly, if enough people do it then that makes it right.
