Denise Richards Talk about the difficulties she was confronted with at the start of her career, revealing that she was sexually harassed but forced to remain silent to avoid being on the black list of the entertainment industry.

In her recent interview, Denise Richards also opened on trauma spent during season three of “Special Forces: World’s Test Test of Fox.

In a frank interview with PEOPLEThe 54 -year -old Wild Things actress thought about the painful experience, explaining why she never continued legal action. “I was told that I would be on black list,” said Richards. “I felt so vulnerable. It was the career I wanted to make. So that I was told that you will never work in an industry that you are passionate about, it’s a difficult thing.”

With hindsight, Richards expressed his gratitude for the changes caused by the #MeToo movement.

“I am happy that women can have more voices and be more protected,” she said. “If it happened at this age, I would manage it differently, but I was so young and unknown and [just] Beginning. “”

Richards, now the mother of three daughters, Sami, 20, Lola, 19, and Eloise, 13, admired their confidence and their ability to defend themselves.

“I watch my daughters do our show and be so strong women,” she said. “If I had it, I think I could have managed it a little differently. I would like to have the confidence they have because I would never be able to defend myself as they do.”

She admitted that being a “pleasure of people” held her in her early years, which she saw her daughters manage differently.

“I love my daughters, at the start of their career, are able to [speak up]. Sometimes I say to myself, “You may want to attenuate it”, but for the most part, I am happy that they can say what you think. I would have liked to be able at the time. “”

During the episode, she discussed a sexual assault that she endured in adolescence and her desire to overcome fear. “I really want to learn not to be overwhelmed by fear,” she said. “I experienced traumatic situations that have been very terrifying for me. I want to learn to face these problems and be stronger.”

While trying an exercise in helicopter extraction, Richards had trouble, telling the staging staff (DS) that his reaction was not due to being “petrified” but rather “emotional”. She admitted that fear had often paralyzed her in critical moments. “I have been in situations where I freeze and I can’t work, I can’t even talk to protect myself,” she said.

She told a road rage incident in 2022 in Los Angeles, where she and her husband, Aaron Phypers, were slaughtered during driving. “He didn’t want me to go alone, thank God, and we were physical in his truck,” said Richards. “I sat on the ground and I was just literally. I was peeing. I was so afraid … I froze.”

Richards then shared the details of the horrible assault that she endured at the age of 15.

“The first time I experienced this, I was 15 and I noticed a man who followed me,” she said. “He came from behind me, put his hand around my mouth, caught my vagina and started dragging me, and I freeze. I couldn’t even shout for help. It is so scary to have this situation, to be this age and so vulnerable. “”

She stressed that her past experiences fed her determination to ensure that her daughters are never confronted with the same horrors. “I have three daughters, and I want them to never go through that. And also, if something, God preserves us, it happens, be strong enough to manage it.”

In a denominational segment, Richards recognized that his past trauma still weigh heavily on her.

“I think I did not approach much of what I experienced, and it is very terrifying,” she admitted. “I don’t know if I could overcome my past.”

The candid revelations of Richards highlight the lasting effects of the trauma and the resilience it takes to express themselves after years of silence.
