The drama that is Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen exploded on Matt Lauer Wednesday morning on the Today show. Denise was on the morning talk show to promote her new reality show Denise Richards: It’s Complicated that premieres on E! this Memorial Day but ended up talking about an email request for sperm. Charlie Sheen’s girlfriend Brooke Mueller claims she received an email from Denise with the strange request.
“That e-mail is not legitimate. It’s a doctored e-mail. I would never send an e-mail to his … girlfriend, and, at the time of that e-mail, I was with Richie [Sambora]. If I wanted anybody’s sperm, I’d have asked for Richie’s.”
The email purportedly included Richards telling Mueller: “Charlie and I have very beautiful healthy children together. I was strictly looking for a sperm donor if it’s any of your business.”
Charlie of course says the email is real and that Denise did send it. Matt read his statement on air too; “”claims that her e-mail has been fabricated or altered in any way to create this story are absurd. The mere fact the she continues to publicly discuss and harass both Brooke and me three years after our separation which, for the record is longer than the actual length of the marriage, is beyond desperate and speaks volumes.”
Denise at least had the good grace to say that having the sordid details of her nasty dragged out in pubic is “embarrassing and humiliating.”
