Denise Richards has emotional recollection of traumatizing life event on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test
During the debut of season three on Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, Denise Richards openly discussed an incident of sexual assault she experienced in her teenage years.
The 53-year-old actress-reality star discusses a distressing life event that she attributes to an activity on the show known as a ‘helicopter extraction.’ This technique is commonly employed by the U.S. Army’s Special Forces.
Richards expressed a desire to master coping strategies, as he has faced deeply frightening and traumatic experiences. His goal is to tackle these challenges head-on and build resilience in the process.
The former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills found herself struggling with the given task, confessing to the show’s production team that she was “totally outside her usual realm” when trying it. She wasn’t frightened, but rather experienced strong emotions.
Originating from Downers Grove, Illinois, this individual expressed on the show, ‘I’ve encountered harrowing ordeals that were extremely frightening to me. I aim to understand how to cope with these problems and become more resilient.’
The DS team expressed that Richard’s colleague appeared startled, like a deer caught in headlights, and seemed unable to move due to her exertion.
In a natural and easy-to-read manner, the actress known for her role in “The Wild Things” (who has three daughters: Sami, 20, Lola, 19, and Eloise, 13) expressed, ‘Yes, I get anxious in certain fearful scenarios, and I’m eager to discover techniques to remain composed and act accordingly.’
One motivation for me taking this course is that I’ve encountered instances where I become paralyzed with fear, unable to respond or defend myself.
Richard cited an occurrence of road rage from November 2022 in Los Angeles, where a Ford F-150 Shelby truck that Richard’s husband Aaron Phypers, aged 52, was driving, was targeted with gunfire while Richard was a passenger.
In “The World Is Not Enough,” it was stated that the actress was being driven to work by Phypers when the event took place. Overwhelmed by fear, she found herself unable to control her bladder and accidentally wet herself.
She expressed that he was grateful he hadn’t let her go by herself, as they encountered a harrowing situation involving gunfire in his vehicle. In this tense moment, she recounted how she found herself sitting on the floor, literally terrified and unable to move, even wetting herself out of fear.
The actress from Starship Troopers later tearfully recounted her experience with sexual assault, revealing that it occurred when she was a teenager.
The first instance I recall of feeling scared was when I was 15 years old. At that time, I noticed a man trailing behind me. Suddenly, he approached from behind, covered my mouth with his hand, groped me inappropriately, and began pulling me forcefully. In shock, I couldn’t utter a sound for help.
“That situation at that age is truly terrifying, leaving one in a state of great vulnerability. As a father of three girls, I yearn for their safety and wish they’d never have to experience such ordeals. Additionally, I hope I am prepared enough should any unfortunate event occur.
Richards made further remarks about the past incident in a confessional segment on the show.
In my personal experience, I’ve found that I’ve left many aspects of my journey untouched, and it’s quite daunting to confront. To be honest, I’m unsure if I can fully overcome my past.
Previously, it came to light that Richard’s breast implants were torn during filming, an event that took place in Wales.
On Jeff Lewis Live on Sirius XM, Richard mentioned last Friday that he injured his implants by jumping from a bridge. He needs to replace them soon as they were supposed to be replaced a month back, but the filming schedule prevented it.
Alongside Richards, other well-known figures vying for spots on the Fox series are Brody Jenner, Stephen Baldwin, Kayla Nicole, Jordyn Wieber, Christy Carlson Romano, Carey Hart, Golden Tate, Cam Newton, Alana Blanchard, Landon Donovan, Marion Jones, Nathan Adrian, Kyla Pratt, Ali Fedotowsky, and Trista Sutter. Each of them is a contender in their own right.
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test airs on Fox Wednesday at 8/7c.
