Charlie Sheen and his ex-wife Denise Richards reunited on the red carpet Thursday for the Los Angeles premiere of his Netflix docuseries, "Aka Charlie Sheen." The pair posed together at the event as Richards continues to navigate a public separation from her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers.
Richards, 54, drew attention in a shimmering black crop top and silk black pants, wearing her blonde hair pressed straight and parted to the side. Sheen attended the premiere to promote the series that chronicles his life and career.
The appearance marked another moment of public civility between the two actors, who were married in 2002 and divorced in 2006. They share two daughters, Sam and Lola. During their highly publicized split in 2005, Richards accused Sheen of making death threats, physically shoving her and endangering their children; those allegations were part of the couple's contentious divorce filings at the time.
In the years since their divorce, the pair have shown moments of cooperation and cordiality. Sheen later made a guest appearance on Richards' reality series, "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things," and both have occasionally attended industry events where they were photographed together.
Notorious Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, 59, who has been publicly associated with Sheen in the past, also attended the premiere. Her presence at the event underscored the wide range of guests who came to the debut as Sheen promoted the Netflix project.
Representatives for Sheen and Richards did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Court filings and public statements related to Richards' ongoing divorce from Phypers have been reported elsewhere; details of that proceeding were not discussed at the premiere.
Sheen's documentary series has generated media attention for its candid portrayal of his life, and the premiere provided an opportunity for former partners and acquaintances to appear together amid evolving personal circumstances. The appearance offered a public snapshot of their current relationship nearly two decades after their split, while also drawing attention to Richards' separate, ongoing legal and personal matters.
