"Heather knows why and when her marriage ended with Richie and she knows why my marriage ended with Charlie (Sheen)," Richards said when TMZ caught up with her on Tuesday.

Richards says comments by Locklear and David Spade, who suggested Richards had back-stabbed Locklear, were a "betrayal."

"It is a betrayal because a lot of it isn't true and they know that and that's what's hard," Richards said. "I have to try and just stay focused on my kids and forget that part of it as difficult as it is."

Richards also tells TMZ that she stands by the allegations she has made against Sheen in their divorce. "I stand by it and it's sad that it's gotten to this," she says. "My focus is just getting my girls through this because it's very, very difficult and very sad."

Could she possibly try any harder to look like a battered wife in that photo? Denise, eat a sammich or something, would you?

It's clearly posted in the rules of friendship...Never Ever cozy up to your best friends man, never, for any reason, ever. Even if they're divorced for a hundred years and the friend is dead. Just NEVER!

You're right, she's looking very gaunt, and yes even if what she says is true, it must have been very difficult for Heather to see pictures of them cosying up on that balcony. If Heather was indeed such a good friend of Denise, why didn't she go to her?

Who cares about her, jelaous as hell!

**Tenaj** · May 18th, 2006, 04:44 AM

Not that I really care about her. Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

**ourmaninBusan** · May 18th, 2006, 06:31 AM

I was going to listen to her comments, but it's over three minutes,
and there's no way I want to hear 3 minutes of her speaking.

Didn't I see this before or is she flapping her big fish lips again?

Oh shut the fuck up!!!

EXACTLY, she must have lost her friendship handbook. I wish one of my friends would even think about dating one of my ex-boyfriends - without my express written permission which they will receive when my will is read! Discretion is a word this woman has never heard of - which is weird because I thought that was in the Heidiho Handbook for Hookers??

I agree everyone might have felt sorry for her, I know I did, before she and Ritchie started their fling. I still feel sorry for her, after all she had to sleep w/ Charlie Sheen, who is IMO, Coyote Ugly, for over three years and he is also IMO, a huge waste of human skin. HOWEVER, in the court of public opinion, is is a huge crime to sleep w/ one of your good friend's not yet, ex-husbands. Huge crime.
