The Wild Things actor famously broke up with Sheen in 2005 while six months pregnant with their second daughter, Lola, according to E! Online . Their divorce led to endless gossip and tabloid rumors.

The behind-the-scenes stuff was way worse than what was out there, Richards told Divorced Not Dead podcast host Caroline Stanbury in an episode posted Wednesday. It was really bad.

Richards married the Two and a Half Men actor in 2002 and gave birth to their first daughter, Sami, in 2004, according to Us Weekly . She took a recurring role on the show, joined him at red carpet events and posed for pictures but told Stanbury this required putting on a facade.
