Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.comJust when it seemed like Denise Richards' divorce from Charlie Sheen couldn't get any more contentious...enter Ryan Seacrest.
The E! News anchor and executive producer of Denise Richards: It's Complicated spoke with the actress on his KIIS-FM radio show this morning, getting the future reality star to openly—perhaps too openly—discuss the status of her relationship, or lack thereof, with Sheen.
Spoiler alert: It ain't good.
"He just cut me off of child support last week," Richards said. "He doesn't want my kids to have vaccines and shots, but that's a whole other issue. So whatever." (Listen to MP3 of the entire interview.)
Sheen declined to address Richards' statements, releasing a statement saying: "I will not dignify the majority of these allegations set forth by Denise Richards with any measure of response. On its best day it remains laughable and inane."
This is the latest bit of acrimony to rear its ugly head in the even uglier split, though for those following the finer points of the former couple's rapidly downward trajectory, it hardly comes as a surprise.
"We don't speak—at all," she said of her contact with Sheen, adding that she has suggested they "see a mediator and just put our stuff aside."
"It's sad for our kids, if nothing else. It's a very conflicted divorce. It's not healthy for the children...Charlie and I don't agree on much these days."
Their lawyers, however, are on very good speaking terms, communicating regularly on the topic of their two daughters, Sam and Lola Rose, appearing in her E! reality show, something a judge gave the legal OK to earlier this year. (E! Online is a division of E! Entertainment Television.)
Richards defended her decision to include her children in the show, saying, "I want it to be a reality show, and the reality is, I'm a single mom to two beautiful girls."
As for Sheen's adamant opposition to the idea...
"That's a hard thing to talk about, except for the fact that I was confused about his reasons because we never made a decision to shield our girls from the media. We were on the cover of People magazine as soon as Sam was born.
"And also, Sam was on Two and a Half Men during sweeps when she was just 8 months old...So I didn't understand. If we had made the decision as a couple—You know what? We're just gonna keep them out of the press and all that—then I'd understand. But this, I didn't. It was inconsistent."
Less inconsistent and more incomprehensible, at least to Richards, was Sheen's lack of support during the recent death of her mother, an event which left the actress devastated.
"The god's honest truth was, he said, 'I hope you die with her.' It was awful, awful. And to not be there for the memorial...forget me, but the kids. That's their Nana. My mom was the closest person to my girls after myself and Charlie. So no, we don't speak at all."
Despite all the negatives to come from their ill-fated marriage, and there are numerous negatives, Richards said her time with Sheen did teach her one thing for the better.
"I think sometimes we think men are not bad boys until bad stuff happens. I personally think I've learned my lesson."
