Denise Richards (AP Photo)Actress Denise Richards fired her nanny because she spoke ill of her ex-husband in front of the couple���s young daughters. Despite the former Bond girl���s bitter divorce and custody battle with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, she insists no one in her employ speaks critically about her girls��� father when they���re in earshot.
Richards says, "I actually fired a nanny once, for bashing Charlie in front of the girls. ���Charlie is their dad, so if I insult their father it���s an insult to them. I don���t want them ever to feel torn between the two of us.���
Richards only regrets the former couple can no longer be friends. She tells a magazine, ���Charlie is truly a stranger to me, and that���s the really sad part. I know many people who have gotten divorced and remained good friends, and I envy that because it���s obviously much healthier for the kids than our situation.
But I���ve always tried to handle this respectfully. If you go back and try to dig up quotes about what I���ve said, there���s not a lot out there.���
