It’s been rumored for the last couple months that Denise Richards’ beyond-craptastic reality show Denise Richards: It’s Complicated was going to be summarily dismissed. And just like Denise herself, the show has been kicked to the curb. Viewers seemed to find a lot of Richards’ behavior offensive: her constant (severe) cursing – including around her young daughters, the keeping of far too many pets in her home, and her accusing ex-husband Charlie Sheen of molesting their daughters, a charge that was seen as a last-ditch attempt at television ratings.
Such terrible character attributes would make you think that E! canceled the show because they shouldn’t indulge such a bad person like Denise/exploit the people who are stuck with her. But it seems that it’s just about ratings.
It was complicated, and now it’s over: E! has reportedly canceled Denise Richards’ reality show after low ratings.
“The numbers started out pretty good – just over 1.5 million tuned in for the premiere episode,” a source told The Insider yesterday. “But the audience has dropped off. ”
Denise also received flack from viewers over her potty-mouthed ways around her children on It’s Complicated. Sam and Lola’s appearances on the show were hotly contested by ex-husband Charlie Sheen in court last year.
“Viewers were disgusted that a mother of two young girls would use such foul language,” the source adds. Along with her long-running custody battles with Charlie, other bad showings included Denise confronting an editor over her tabloid image and having a seemingly forced fun girls’ nighs [sic] out.

A little while ago Denise bitched about how her young daughters were in therapy. Which is actually one of the few things I’ll give her credit for. We’ve often noted how the poor kids always look completely miserable – not little kid cranky, but utterly despondent – in every single photo we’ve ever seen of the two. Maybe now Denise can dial down the crazy a few notches. And spend a bit more time in family therapy and a bit less time in the courtroom.
Here’s Denise taking a stroll with her dad in Malibu on June 22nd. Fame notes that she’s “looking a bit heavier that usual.†Images thanks to Fame.
