Denise Richards Sounds Off on Erika Girardi's 'Unbelievable' Dig About Daughter Sami Sheen's OnlyFans

"God forbid you talk about her son," said 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum of her spat with the "XXPEN$IVE" singer

Denise Richards still harbors feelings about the comments Erika Girardi made about her and Charlie Sheen’s daughter Sami

On Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 53, opened up about briefly returning to the show this past season and how she still finds it “unbelievable” that her former costar, 52, would bring up her 19-year-old daughter’s OnlyFans

Richards first explained that she was telling Girardi to “watch the show” because she felt like “her and a couple of the other women kept coming at me over and over” the past season. “So I was like, ‘How do you not know this?’” she said.

Once she was asked by host Andy Cohen what was going through her head when the singer brought up Sami’s OnlyFans account, she responded, “That’s part of what I was saying: ‘Watch the show.’” 

The Wild Things star continued, “Some of the stuff you’ve said about my kids and Garcelle [Beauvais'] kids, I didn't understand. But God forbid you talk about her son. It's just unbelievable to me that she wouldn't even understand why I'd be upset.”

She also further emphasized why she sees the mention of her daughter as more drastic than someone bringing up Erika’s son Tommy Zizzo, whose profession as a police officer has been asked about by other Housewives. "Her son is a grown man, and Sami was a minor,” she added, referring to her daughter’s age at the time of the conversation.

In January, the “XXPEN$IVE” singer appeared on Watch What Happens Live and defended her comments. “I wouldn’t have brought up Denise's daughter had she not pushed so hard,” Erika said. “That's really the truth, and that’s the answer: I did not want to do this. I did not want to go there, and I really meant that. But if you want it, you can get it.”

She also said that her behavior was “not really” hypocritical, even though she had previously grown angry at Eileen Davidson for bringing up her 32-year-old son’s job as a cop. The pop musician added, “But I will say this: I have much better control emotionally over my son’s profession than I did then. I think if you were to say it to me today, I’d be like, 'Yeah.'"

RHOBH viewers were clued-in on Richards' issues with Girardi this past season. Their feud all came to a head at a party when the model admitted she was still angry at the “Pretty Mess” singer for talking about threesomes in front of her children at a 2019 party, which Girardi noted she had apologized for. When neither backed down, Girardi made a jab at Sami’s OnlyFans.

Girardi recently opened up to PEOPLE about her feud with Richards and specifically shared her thoughts on the remark she made accusing her of lip-syncing in a performance at at Kyle Richards' annual white party.

The Broadway star said she wasn’t bothered and added, “But I feel bad for Denise because she's clearly grasping for something there.”

"It's like, leave it alone, girl. Just leave it alone,” she continued. 

Girardi also mentioned that she later received "a very nice text" from her former costar, which made things all the more confusing. "It's all over the place. All over the place," she shared, noting that she's learned to just "embrace the chaos that is Denise."
