Denise Richards sparks concern over return of ‘hot f*****g mess’ to RHOBH as star makes bizarre expressions and winks at castmates during raucous, weed-filled dinner

Denise Richards sparked concern among viewers when she returned to The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

The 52-year-old actress — who hit the red carpet with daughter Eloise, 12, on Sunday — appeared as a guest on Wednesday night’s season 13 episode of the hit Bravo series.

As she made bizarre expressions and even winked at castmates during a wild dinner in the episode, many took to social media to question her behavior.

Denise – who starred in seasons 9 and 10 of RHOBH, which aired from 2019 to 2020 – attended a cannabis-filled dinner party with fellow ex-housewife Camille Grammer.

She arrived at Kyle Richards’ house for the gathering and was asked by current cast member Erika Jayne if she would partake in the cannabis-infused food along with the rest of the group.

Denise replied, “I don’t want to eat that stuff. I’ve smoked weed twice in my life and I’m fine. I’m not going to say who I did that with.’

As she made the statement, she broke the fourth wall as she looked straight into the camera while winking and moving her smile up and down.

The women then sat down at the dinner table and the drama quickly unfolded, with Denise once again showing off her quirky facial expressions and winking, while also sharing her interesting thoughts and opinions.

At one point, Garcelle Beauvais asked where Kyle and Sutton Stracke were, as they were absent from the dinner table due to an argument they were having in private.

Denise quickly responded, “Did she have too many of the hors d’oeuvres?”

Erika laughed heartily at the Wild Things star’s comment as the actress continued, “Well, you know what I’m talking about.”

Then she nodded her head, winked and moved her lips to the side.

Kyle and Sutton later sat down at the table and brought the drama to the rest of the group.

It was a very awkward situation where the two stars got into a rather heated conversation while Denise remained silent, but her expressions were worth a thousand words as you could see her reacting very dramatically.

The Starship Troopers actress couldn’t help but express herself dramatically with her face as she wrinkled her nose, left her mouth open in shock, laughed, nodded slowly and even drank a glass of water.

Social media was full of comments about Denise’s behavior, as one X-user (formally Twitter) wrote: ‘Denise Richard’s was a HOT [fire emoji] F***ING MESS tonight. #RHOBH’

Another user wrote: ‘Denise seems a little more confused than usual…’

Some users even praised the former RHOBH castmate as one said: ‘I don’t care what y’all say but Denise Richards was, is and always will be great television #RHOBH’

One user even created custom art of her many facial expressions, saying, “Well, you know what I’m talking about.”

The artist added, “Denise Richards returned to #RHOBH and was a hot mess. Tomorrow and I are 1000% for it. Plus, #DrunkDrawn never misses.”

Denise was one of the main cast on seasons 9 and 10 of the show, but confirmed her departure in September 2020 following a highly controversial storyline surrounding Richards’ alleged affair with former co-star Brandi Glanville, 51.

Brandi, who left the reality series in 2015, claimed she “hooked up” with Denise when she visited her on a film set in April 2019.

Richards, who has been married to 51-year-old Aaron Phypers since 2018, has repeatedly denied allegations of an affair with Glanville.
