According to Denise Richards, husband Charlie Sheen turned into the husband from hell when she told him she was pregnant with the couple's first child.
In legal documents presented to officials in Los Angeles last week, the actress claims Sheen asked her to get an abortion when he discovered she was pregnant in 2003 and became "furious" when he learned the child was a girl.
"He said he did not want to be a father," she wrote. "After fighting about it for a week, I threatened to leave the marriage. The Respondent (Sheen) then said he would accept the pregnancy. The Respondent was not excited about the baby. He told me that he was not attracted to me. The Respondent did come with me to the ultrasound appointment where we were going to find out the sex of the baby. The doctor wrote down the sex of the baby in an envelope and we took it home ... The Respondent was furious that the baby was a girl."
She also reported that Sheen was "wonderful" when his daughter Sam was born in March 2004 but he became irrational when he discovered his wife had stopped breastfeeding. "He was very angry that I stopped breast feeding the baby and switched to formula because he said that he 'heard' that by my stopping breast feeding, and giving our daughter formula, that the formula would cause our daughter to develop brain damage or would cause her to become mentally retarded," she reported.
Richards eventually left "paranoid" Sheen, she claims, with her daughter, after he allegedly threatened her life after she took their daughter to get her infant immunity injections. He feared the actress was "poisoning" their child. She continues, "Respondent told me that I was a bad mother. The day that I took Sam for her shots, the Respondent called me ... and threatened to kill me."
Sheen denies the allegations, insisting his estranged wife's latest legal attack is "a radical and transparent smear campaign" to "hurt and embarrass" him.
On Friday, a judge granted Denise's request for a restraining order so now Charlie must keep at least 300 feet away from her and their two daughters. She also claimed in court documents that throughout their 3-year marriage, Charlie abused prescription drugs, compulsively gambled, frequently visited prostitutes and was addicted to questionable internet porn sites.
Charlie says her statement was a "heinous document of fiction." You can read it for yourself at www.thesmokinggun.com.
