Denise Richards Flees U.S. to Avoid Charlie Sheen's Rage

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 4th 2011 09:50AM

After a disastrous start to his 'Violent Torpedo Of Truth, Defeat Is Not An Option' tour in Detroit and a slightly improved performance in Chicago, Charlie Sheen is looking to lash out and blame someone for his failure. This time it won't be ex-wife Denise Richards.

"Denise doesn't want to get dragged into any of this and has taken herself and her girls far away to the Bahamas on vacation," a friend of Charlie's tells me. "Whenever things go bad for Charlie he always lashes out at Denise. This time she took no chances and fled the country before he even stepped foot on stage."

At Sheen's first performance, on Saturday evening, the crowd was already restless, booing the opening comic off stage before Charlie appeared. Once the former 'Two and a Half Men' star appeared, his standing ovation quickly gave way to boos and attendees walking out and demanding refunds.

The new biggest fear for Team Sheen is that bad word of mouth will affect the already tepid ticket sales in the following cities.

"What will most likely happen is discounts will be offered to Ticketmaster's email list and bulk sales groups like Groupon," an A-list tour promoter tells me. "Groupon does mass email to their buyers in specific zip codes, offering deep discounts and taking a hefty percentage for providing the service. On most of these services, you don't know about it unless you previously bought something and are on their mass email list. In other words, you probably just couldn't go to the Ticketmaster website and find the discounted tickets."

But it's not just ticket sales that are a concern. Friends of Charlie's warn that the actor's ego will not tolerate half-empty houses and bad audience reaction for long.

"Charlie has a hard time when confronted with reality," a friend of the actor tells me. "He would rather cancel the whole tour and blame it on bad promoters than admit he's not winning."

Which means Denise might be able to cut her getaway short, too. She might want to stick in the Bahamas a bit longer, though -- if Charlie is anything, it's unpredictable.

IS EVERYONE WAITING FOR CHARLIE SHEEN TO DOING SOMETHING BAD TO THESE WOMEN BEFORE HE GOES TO JAIL. WHY ARNT THEY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT HIM, IF HES THREATENING THESE WOMEN. HE NEEDS A HOSPITAL. MENTAL ONE. SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG WITH HIM. DOESNT ANYONE SEE THAT.

He has been arrested numerous times...For attacking his latest wife...For illegal drug dealing by the Feds years ago and then the rat snitch cut a deal to testify against Heide Fliess for the prostitutes she supplied to him that he paid for by personal checks...He shot Kelly Preston, too...And finally, his ex-wife Denise took 2 dogs away from him because they were neglected by him and all those people under his roof, too...And what does he do, he threathens her with bodliy harm, travels to other states and gets to put on a show.

This guy is a walking time-bomb, just ripe for a HUGE mental breakdown. And when it happens, it's going to be spectacular.

By bozzy84

...sadly, the 'spectacle' IS what IS the "draw"....and there are too many who are willing to feed the frenzy ,encourage it,etc. who REALLY,REALLY don't give a REAL squat to his wellbeing or recovery and are just "enjoying" the showboating while likely thrilled they are NOT him and thensome !! Peverse and thensome but human nature to a small segment of the human collective !!
CS is just a REALITY show of someone breaking down and going out !

It's about time Denise stays away from him. She should've knew from the hotel situation a few months ago that things were bad with him and I know she was trying to let her kids see their dad but as long as he is acting crazy she and the kids are better off without him.

Charlie Sheen is an illegal drug dealing arrested wife beater who also threathened to cut off his latest wife head and then, threathened his ex-wife with bodily harm while displaying his knives. He shot Kelly Preston with a gun. He has physically abused other women. He was busted by the Feds years ago for illegal drug dealing and the rat snitch cut a deal to testify against Heidi Fliess for writing personal checks to her for prostitutes. Meanwhile he wouldnt even write a personal checks for one of his daughters co-pays for a doctors visit for a vaccination shot. This white washed Mexican version of OJ Simpson belongs in prison and not on the stage nor TV or the movies.

For now, she is one of this white washed Mexican verison of OJ Simpsons ex-wives who still has her head attached.

I have an ex that when things would go bad for him he would call me up and blast me for no reason. I understand how Denise feels. No one else put up with my ex but I guess because we were married and had a child together he thought he could still yell at me. It went on for years and years even when he was involved with other women. I didn't ask for it nor did I provoke it just out of the blue my phone would ring and bam the ranting would begin. I can only imagine if he were in the public like Charlie Sheen how it would have been. He too has an issue of saying I'm sorry I was wrong. It's not easy having children with exes that are this way. Charlie Sheen has to pay child support and I'm sure spousal support for cheating on Denise why shouldn't he. I just hope he can get the help he needs before he hurts himself or someone else. People need to stop enabling him and help him. I feel bad for all involved and I fear for those silly women with him. I also feel for their Mom's. I know that they have to be petrified that he will hurt one of them if he gets in an uncontrollable rage. Charlie please get help. I know you think you are a winner but even winners need help from time to time.

I agree with you. Stay as far away as you can Denise and keep those precious little girls away from the mess. I know he is their dad and loves them but right now he doesn't appear to be in the right frame of mind to be doing daddy duty. I'd be sure any visits with the kids are supervised until he gets his act collected.

yeah, the Great Warlock couldn't "magick" himself a decent show? What a pathetic loser, and the "goddesses" too for hanging out with such a waste. He had talent and family and blew it all off. Idiot.

By Larry

Now if we could only get the rest of Hollywood to do the same.

By Steely Dan-electro

I can just imagine the "goddess/Sheen" sexual re-inactment of "Little Jack Horner" ... ,"he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum ... no ... wait ... OMG! It's Gary Coleman's shrunken head!"

By DLCastillo

the show needs to be called "Two And A Half Teeth"!!

By Hank

She married him?

By Trey

Hey Anna,
I think you mean "tantamount" to a double negative, being that tantamount means "equal to." Just a little heads up.
