'No Charlie bashing allowed'

Los Angeles - Denise Richards once fired her nanny after she criticised her children's father.
Despite her bitter divorce and custody battle with Charlie Sheen, Denise insists that no one is allowed to speak critically of him when their two daughters, Sam, three, and two-year-old Lola are around.
She said: "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."
The actress - who recently won a court battle with Charlie to allow their daughters to be allowed to appear on her upcoming reality TV show - says she is in a "no win" situation regarding her summer series.
She added to US Weekly magazine: "If I have my kids on my show, I'm exploiting them. If I don't, people will think I'm not a hands-on mom. That's why it's very important to me that the girls are part of it."
Charlie and Denise split up in 2006 after four years of marriage. They have been involved in an ongoing custody battle since their separation. - Bang Showbiz.com
