On Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, the ladies attempted to find resolution after years of tension and animosity.
Denise Richards is ready to clear out the "bad vibes" lingering between her and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika Jayne.
In Season 1, Episode 3 of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, Denise and Erika sat down for lunch in the hopes of burying the hatchet after years of tension. But Denise was struggling to find a way to move forward because she didn't know why there was tension to begin with.
"Erika and I, we were starting to become friends and then from there it went super sideways for some reason," she recalled in her confessional.
Denise then admitted to Erika, "I didn't know what I did."
Why were Denise Richards and Erika Jayne fighting?
But Erika said she felt the same way a few years back, during Season 10 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, when the cast joined Denise and her family for a backyard barbecue, where the conversation at the adults table turned raunchy. Though Denise's daughters Lola and Sami were seated separately from the adults, who were discussing other sexual topics, Denise didn't think it was an appropriate setting for that conversation. And while all of the cast were involved in the discussion, Erika felt like Denise singled her out after the fact.
"I felt very judged because we were all talking about sex, but I was the one that got taken to coffee; I was the one that got called out," Erika said. "You can see I'm totally embarrassed at the time, I'm like, 'Oh, my god.'"
Erika Jayne and Denise Richards agree to move forward and be friends
Denise clarified she was never "upset" about the topic matter, just that her kids were able to hear it.
"I was not mad," Denise said, adding that she was sorry for making her believe that she was angry.
Now, Erika understands that it was a misunderstanding and apologized for her role in their friendship falling apart.
"I'm really sorry about how I acted too because it wasn't fair," she said.
Having cleared the air, Erika and Denise agreed to let past disagreements stay in the past.
"I would much rather be here now, with you," Erika told Denise.
Prior to hashing out their problems, Denise sent Erika a "kind" text around Christmastime.
"I've always taken that to heart and I still have it, and I will never forget that. I want you to know that. And you also sent me a text when things were bad and I appreciate that as well," Erika shared as she held Denise's hand.
A watery-eyed Denise then became emotional, explaining that she's been "through a lot of f--ked up s--t" so she understands what Erika has experienced.
Denise recently revealed to The Daily Dish that since filming, she and Erika remain on good terms. "
I'm glad she met with me and we were able to see each other after, you know, quite a while and I'm happy about that," she said.
