Everyone says I'm exploiting the kids, but they haven't even seen one episode. - Denise Richards

As a mom, I can't imagine how hard it would be to hear hurtful, untrue things being said about my daughters.

I didn't go into this marriage with the idea of just trying it out. I fell in love and wanted to make a new life with him. A lot of people said to me, "How could you go out with someone with his past?" But I've always believed that everyone deserves a second chance. I fell in love with who he was when I met him: a strong man who could admit his weaknesses and work through them.
