Denise Richards revealed that early in her career, she was sexually harassed and warned against speaking out. In an interview with People, the Wild Things star shared that she once considered filing a lawsuit but was told she would be “blacklisted” if she did.
“I felt so vulnerable,” Richards recalled. “To be told you’d never work in the industry you love—it’s a hard thing.” While she didn’t disclose details, she expressed gratitude for the progress made since the #MeToo movement, saying, “There definitely needed to be a change.”
