Denise Richards Opens Up About Joining RHOBH And The Bold And The Beautiful!

Denise Richards is opening about joining the soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful. “I’ve never done a daytime soap before and I thought it would be a fun challenge,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told Us Weekly.

“A friend of mine Darin Brooks, who I had done Blue Mountain State with, is on it, and I was looking forward to working with him again.”

Richards also teased what fans of the soap can expect from her character — and what she’s hiding.

“Shauna lives in Las Vegas! She has a wild past, but a good heart,” she told Us Weekly. “She was concerned about her daughter, so she’s gone out to L.A. to check on her … and some secrets are revealed.”

Richards also reveals how her life is been since she joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “It’s been good so far, and the feedback I’ve gotten from fans has been really touching,” she explained. When it comes to the Sheen talk, the mother of three notes, “I’m used to it, it doesn’t bother me. I understand people are very curious about my relationship with Charlie.” Richards shares two daughters, ages 15 and 13, with Sheen and adopted another daughter, Eloise, as a single parent in 2011.

When it comes to filming, nothing is off limits: “When I made the decision to do the show, I wanted to keep it real and be my true authentic self,” she told Us Weekly.

Richards made her Bold and the Beautiful debut on the Thursday, April 8, which airs at 1:30pm on CBS.
