Denise Richards Calls Out Bravo For Pulling Shady Move On Her

Denise Richards was one of the hottest stars in the industry during her prime years. She set pulses racing whenever she came on screen. The actress had a short stint at Bravo’s hit reality show franchise, Real Housewives.

During the Feb. 11 episode of Sirius XM’s “Jeff Lewis Live,” Denise opened up about her two-year stint on the Bravo reality show and she had some head turning claims. She said Bravo pulled a fast one on her when she was a cast member on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

The mom of three also addressed the famous scene during which she shouted “Bravo, Bravo, f***ing Bravo!,” presumably as a way to get cameras to stop rolling while she was being questioned by her co-stars regarding an affair rumor about her and Brandi Glanville. However, during her interview with Lewis, Richards claimed that’s not exactly how things went down.

The audience saw Richards scream the “Bravo, Bravo, f***Ing Bravo” phrase after Teddi Mellencamp confronted her about the affair rumors while the cast was out to dinner in Rome. However, Richards claimed she actually said it earlier in the evening when her co-stars came at her during a different conversation. Richards added that Bravo’s decision to make it appear she said the line after Mellencamp confronted her was “shady.”

Richards said on Lewis’ podcast, “When I sat down to that dinner, I was dealing with some stuff with my children,” She added, “So at that dinner, I said something about my family.” She further revealed, she regretted what she said and used the “Bravo” phrase to alert producers that she didn’t want the comment about her family to make it to TV.

“This is before what I heard Teddi said about Brandi, So I blurted out what I was dealing with and I said the ‘Bravo, Bravo, f***ing Bravo,’ because I was told to do that from Kyle [Richards] and [Lisa] Rinna— whether they want to admit it or not, that’s the truth. [They told me] if you say something about your kids or say the name of a school, to do that and Bravo won’t air it.”

Meanwhile, the “Bold and the Beautiful“ star is a mom to daughters Sami, 17, Lola, 16, and Eloise, 10. Denise recently talked about the struggles about raising her daughter while opening up about her strained relationship with Sami.
