9. Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards (2002-2006)
Lesson: You can’t fix crazy
Charlie Sheen’s divorce from actor Denise Richards was just the beginning of a years-long rampage of publicity stunts and substance abuse. Sheen and Richards married in 2002 and had two daughters, Sam and Lola, before Richards filed for divorce in 2005 citing Sheen’s alcoholism, drug abuse, and violent tendencies.
Despite a few rocky years, Richards and Sheen were on good terms as of 2013. Richards gained temporary custody of Sheen’s two sons from his marriage to Brooke Mueller in 2013. Then in June 2015 Sheen sent her a lovely text message on Father’s Day that read: “Brooke M is a sexy rok star whom I adore D Richards a heretic washed up piglet Shame pile Happy Father’s Day!!!”
Richards replied: “Happy Dad’s Day! @CharlieSheen have a great trip in Mexico!” she tweeted. “Kids were disappointed u weren’t here for it—Hey we’ll celebrate when u r back!” And that is what we refer to as taking the high road.
