AceShowbiz - Denise Richards stopped by "Daddy Issues" podcast on Wednesday, August 7 when she detailed one of her eventful holiday moments. "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star recalled the awkward moment when her ex-husband Charlie Sheen brought a prostitute to a Thanksgiving dinner which was also attended by her father.
Telling co-host Dean McDermott, Denise said, "I didn't care... I'm not not romantically-involved," of Charlie. "He just told me, 'Hey, I want you to know so and so is here, but don't worry, she's going to be in the car in the driveway while we eat dinner.' "
Denise, however, felt that it was so wrong to let her wait in the car when they had enough space for her. "And I'm like, 'Oh my God, I cannot have her just sitting in the driveway,' " Denise said, adding that she "had a long table" for the meal and the hooker eventually joined them and sat "at the other end" of it.
The Bravo personality, who shares daughters Lola Rose (14) and Sam (15) with Charlie and later adopted Eloise (7), continued, "And we just told the kids that it was his other friend that was with him that it was his assistant."
Their kids were not the only ones who were oblivious about the woman. Denise's father Irv Richards, who was seated nearby the woman, apparently thought she was Charlie's friend and tried to make a conversation with her to no avail. He then came up to Denise with his concern.
"My dad was seated next to her sort of-ish and he came up to me while we were all talking and stuff and he goes, 'I think there's something not right with that woman,' " recalled Denise. "I go, 'Oh, okay. Why do you say that?' He goes, 'Well, I keep trying to talk to her and she just doesn't say anything and I'm just being friendly, making conversation.' "
When she told her dad that "she's a hooker," her dad was allegedly surprised. Denise continued telling the story with a laugh, "He's like, 'She's a hooker?' And I said, 'Yeah, what do you think? They don't always dress in fishnets and lingerie, dad.' And then he was just like, 'That Charlie.' And then he goes, 'Well, that was nice of you to invite her in for dinner.' "
That moment was apparently featured in one episode of "RHOBH" a few years ago. In the episode, Denise could be seen saying in a confessional, "Even a hooker deserves to have Thanksgiving dinner."
