Denise is a movie star, tv star and model. I always thought the housewives were soooooo jealous of her! She didn't have to dress up to look better than all the cast! She could show up in jeans and a t shirt and look so much better than the other women. You can not buy star power and Denise has it!!!

[@garrettcarter888]

100%

They were jealous of her

[@blieggi]

@@gailward1400 looks aren’t everything , maybe they are jealous of how real she is and she doesn’t act like what is expected of her but who she really is and her husband actually loves her , FOR WHO SHE IS

I would never look at her on the exterior and think that she has everything. That’s not the image I get from her at all.

[@mrssolomon3127]

​@@HH-gv8mxback in the day I remember thinking things must be BAD for her to leave Charlie Sheen while pregnant with her 2nd daughter. Then when Charlie got with his next wife, they bad named Denise so badly until that ex fell off and plunged into drug/alcohol addiction and Charlie had his "tigers blood" period. Saint Denise took their kids so the 1/2 sibs could grow up with SOME family.

Denise is the only truly famous name ever signed to BH (with the possible exceptions of Kim and Kathy). Allowing her to be bullied off the show was the worst production failure imaginable.

[@mariaskinnider115]

It was a disgrace the way they treated Denise especially Rinna 🤮

[@user-me6ew1gg1w]

I mean Erika Jayne is pretty famous 😂 she’s a literal pop star. Definitely more famous in Japan/ China/ Asia, But still a pretty big fan base here in the states.

[@StilettoCutsQuick.]

@JosieTurner - I agree. Bravo blew it by the way they let her go and the way she was treated. The way she handled divorcing Charlie and helping him for the sake of their kids is awesome. I have never cared for CS. I remember interviews with him before 2.5 men and he was so arrogant. A typical Hollywood brat which is odd because Martin Sheen seems like a great guy and a good Father. She really dodged a bullet by leaving CS when she did.

[@victoriawejko]

Love this interview. It's so clear that Denise has a great head on her shoulders and very grounded. Also I think her ability to take the high road and not bash her ex speaks so much about her character.

[@yayitsmiles]

I think Denise is so big that she can come in and just be herself and be accepted for who she is without having to turn tricks, that it doesn't phase her to come back. She has the status and the money and the fame already. The other women (some of them) need to turn tricks to make themselves interesting and to make "good tv". Denise is genuine and doesn't have to tear anyone down to get attention. She isn't desperate for attention or validation.

[@TxPinkRosie]

I hope your girls realize how awesome you are to not bash their fathers. It takes a really confident woman to put the best interest of their kids first.

[@Ruth78620]

I love that. Whenever friends of mine decide to have a screaming argument infront of their children I just take the kids put for an ice cream and rip them a new one later and remind them that they loved each other enough to bring 2 other lives into the world and their focus should be making them happy and put their petty adult shxt aside because they love their kids. I never bashed my sons father even though he left me when I was pregnant at 17, never paid a penny in child support and has never met his son but that's his loss.

[@Trenchant468]

I never “got” Denise Richard’s. But learning that she educates her daughters to trust their instincts as her main priority, dated and married a sober Charlie Sheen, stumbled into Bond without a real clue, and filed for divorce asap while pregnant to protect her kids. She really does have good boundaries, despite appearances.

[@innaw2309]

Denise is genuinely such a nice person. Listened and watched to her for years, she’s is so authentic and original! RHOBH dropped the ball with her BIG TIME for allowing other cast members treat her the way she was! And look at Kyle and her situation now. The fact that Mauricio is cheating on her, and has been for years, is everywhere on the news, but she would not allow anyone to go there to discuss it. But with Denise she didn’t hesitate to stick her long nose into Denise’s business and make a spectacle out of it. Denise is such a star, no wonder the cast was so threatened by her. She was probably highest paid as well. Denise is a class act.

When we had birthday parties or graduations, his dads whole family and my whole family would all be together. My parents are actually best friends with his parents. When I got pregnant with my daughter when my son was 15, his dad's mom (Grandma B) hosted my baby shower. My son just got his PhD. in Bioengineering from U-Penn. We went there for a week, his dad and step-mom came for 2 nights and we all hung out together and had a great time. I am proud that we were able to give our son these memories with both of his parents together, even though we were never together as a couple. I love that for all the big moments, his whole family has been under one roof, loving and supporting him without any drama or tension. No, everything wasn't always perfect, but we were friends before I got pregnant, so why wouldn't we be friends after? For us to have been together in the first place, there must be things we like about each other. So, just focus on those things and remember what you liked about your ex in the first place. Then, you can give your child the greatest gift, which is memories of good times spent with both parents and step-parents at the same time.

I watched this because I didn't know a lot about Denise. I came away very impressed by her intelligence, kindness, integrity, and loyalty. She's so much better than most of those stupid, shallow and mean housewives.

[@bethennyfrankel]

Thanks for watching!

This is the best interview you have done! It was interesting! God bless Denise she is based in real life reality! ❤❤

[@evelynanderson3587]

This was a great interview. One of the best I have watched. Thank you both.

[@RB-sy1vp]

Bethany, it's so great that you're doing your own podcasts, on your own terms. This was an amazing interview, I've never seen Denise so comfortable, it was like two girlfriends catching up. Can't wait to see what's next❤

[@bethennyfrankel]

❤❤❤

[@bunnycat195]

Absolutely loved Denise and her father's sweet, caring relationship in her reality show. Her humbleness reflects her middle-class, mid-western upbringing. Her love of animals touches everybody hearts, as well. Thank you for this excellent interview.💜

[@bethennyfrankel]

Thanks for watching ❤

I remember Denise having her own reality show when her daughters were very young. It was right after her mother passed away and her dad moved in with her for awhile. I think it was on E. So Denise should have been familiar with reality TV when she joined the Housewives.

[@anhingasnakebird9947]

I remember that show, too but being on a reality show centered on herself and her family of which she was an exec producer is a lot different from being on an ensemble reality show over which she had no producing control. Plus that show was 15 years ago or so and reality was a lot different.

[@nrginther]

@@anhingasnakebird9947 that's true. Reality shows are nothing like they were in the beginning.

[@jewelzbtully4934]

Love Denise. She seems so very down to earth & laid back in contrast to her fame. Seems as though she has always taken the high road despite being shit on. Great interview! ❤

[@tinasmith7630]

She went off with her friends husband and had an affair. Not the most moral gal, in mor ways than 1. But seems a strong character n down 2 earth tho.

[@justinakavanagh3058]

Great interview, Bethany. Denise comes across as very genuine, down to earth. Wish her nothing but the best.

[@berryblueboo]

Great interview, Denise is so down to earth ❤ it was real interesting to listen to you both

[@roselacerda7080]

IAM PROUD OF DENISE SHE DIDN'T LET BETHENNY FRANKEL CONTROL THE INTERVIEW AND TWISTED...👏👏👏

[@lizdahl847]

Not easy though when Bethenny is flying the plane😮

[@lukehartman9386]

Bethenny did a fantastic job with this interview. Denise and Bethenny meshed well. It had zero to do with Denise not letting Bethenny control the interview, which by the way the way is her job, she’s the interviewer.

[@jeffsilvestri4336]

Denise is such a class act. she is so likeable and down to earth. loved her on rhobh and hope she comes back to the show so we can see more of her. so interested to hear bethennys impression of aaron when they met..

[@leontineanderson919]

I'm interested, too. I couldn't help but think, why was he there?! Yeah, I know they're married but she can handle interviews on her own, thank you very much.

[@molliegarza9224]

[@matthewramsey5239]

Gawd I hope she lets Denise talk because she never stops. Nene interview etc was maddening

[@lukehartman9386]

Next time you should watch the interview before you leave a comment.

[@melb2258]

I’ve always thought Denise was drop dead gorgeous!! What I really like about her is that she is way famous yet she’s way down to earth. I feel for her, bc I see the jealousy from the other ladies on past shows. It’s not her fault she’s beautiful!

[@rickysencion4609]

Bethenny ... I adore you, your vibes, your work ethic and all your humanitarian work. I love watching interviews in all forms from everybody and anyone. One thing my eyes usually catches is when peeps cross their arms. In this interview, I saw you had them crossed for a bit. You then uncrossed them, but when Denise brought something about her dad, you crossed them again. it was around minute 53.54. At a young age, I became aware to never cross my arms not matter what, unless I'm freezing cold. I found that it's a way of me closing off or not listening fully. Not judging you at all, just planting a seed for thought. Keep doing all the amazingness that ewe do. RICKY

[@DebJ887]

Love this interview! Bethenny is there anything you can’t do?! You really are incredible at this! And love Denise, she’s so real and interesting🥰 Awesome ladies!

[@staciasenkel8913]

Denise is a good kindhearted decent person and a great mother. She deserves so much more than BH.

[@Kiwiwanderer]

Denise is such an intelligent, wise, calm and insightful woman. Very very honest and likeable. They clearly are comfortable with each other - Bethenny brings out the best Denise …I never saw this on the show. She’s a really decent women and human.

[@Jami-Frankie]

I always thought Denise was one of the prettiest actresses from my Gen X age group! 🤩

[@mirella8733]

Love Denise, she has a very calming voice ♥️
