Denise Richards, one of Charlie Sheen’s ex-wives, has turned down an offer to appear on the first new episode of “Two and a Half Men” since Sheen was fired from the sitcom, according to a new report.
Sheen was fired in March after blasting the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, and network executives. He was replaced by former “That ’70s Show” star Ashton Kutcher.
Sources close to the show said producers offered Richards a guest role on Kutcher’s first episode — which opens with a funeral for Sheen’s character Charlie Harper, killed in a gruesome Paris subway accident — but she declined because “she would never hear the end of it from Charlie,” TMZ reported Monday.
Richards was married to Sheen from 2002 to 2006. They have two daughters together.
In a 2006 court declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Richards alleged that Sheen assaulted her and threatened her life during a December 2005 incident at her home.
