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.

Any woman that marries Sheen KNOWS she will be making out like a bandit when she decides to have children (unprotected sex) with him too if he doesnt kill her first!!

The true idiots are people who would pay a nickel to Charlie Sheen for anything at all. He has zero value. It's amazing that many people have nothing better to do with their time or their money than support Charlie Sheen.

Maybe Charkie will go out in a big blazing ball of Warlock Napalm.

I hope that She went somewhere else. Somewhere where Charlie can't find her. Why would the press ANNOUNCE where she and her girls are? Do they WANT Charlie to find them? Are they LOOKING for headlines? Not very smart...

I think Rob Shuter, the "journalist" who wrote this piece, needs some geography lessons. The Bahamas are hardly a "far away" destination. Australia, the Far East? You bet, but certainly not the Bahamas. Besides, if Charlie wants to chase her down he has plenty of money to do so. Shuter also seems to have a problem sticking with the main intent of the article which, if one believes the title, was to report on the activities of Denise Richards. However, more print space was given to Charlie than Denise. Another case of poor reporting by the "journalists" whose reports appear on AOL.

when do the men in white coats actually intervene here? He really does need help. We may all get a good laugh at this but he really does need help.

Charlie is hell bent on destroying himself. Where are his parents? If they are unable to help him, he will be dead soon and at his own hands! He has everything a person could want, yet he is headed for distruction!!

Sheen is a LOSER. Nothing else to say.

charlie shim is very dangerous and he should be behind bars indefinately. He is an absolute danger to anyone that might be in his presense(although I can't see why anyone would be). Law enforcement seems to turn its back on shim for some reason or another and when he finally hurts someone or morelikely someone breaks his skinny neck I hope they will be held responible for not acting on shim when he ransacked the NY hotel room with a suitcase full of cocaine. Last I heard cocaine was illegal. Not for charlie shim it isn't.

By Duke

Regardless if was planned or not, Denise doesn't deserve the treatment " Mr. LOOSING " is giving her. Hey Charlie, Can You Say " BAKED "

By John

The real losers are anyone who has to deal with this idiot.
