Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen: Bitter Feud?

By: Shannon Gossage

Reportedly things have gone "from bad to worse" for the couple in the past few weeks. The two are no longer speaking to one another after trying to reconcile and eventually deciding to proceed with the divorce. Said a source close to the Wild Things actress, "It’s gotten very ugly. They aren’t talking to each other at all." A friend of Sheen’s says there is no hope for reconciliation. The friend said of Sheen, "His only concern is for the kids."

The big battle now is trying to figure out custody arrangements for daughters, Sam, almost 2, and Lola, 8 months. Reportedly, Richards is seeking full custody and Sheen is fighting for joint custody. A source close to Richards said, "This has been really hard on Denise. But she’s staying strong for her daughters’ sake."

Richards filed for divorce last March while she was six months pregnant with the couple’s second daughter. In the past few of months the couple has reportedly been trying to piece their marriage back together. They even took a Caribbean vacation together last month, which may have been the deal breaker. It was reported that all they did was fight during their "romantic" getaway. Less than a month later an arbitrator took over their case. No official reason was ever given for the split. That led to lots of speculation by the media, especially where Sheen is concerned. It was alleged that he had been cheating on Richards, abusing drugs and alcohol, and gambling. Not so, says Sheen’s camp. Meanwhile, Richards isn’t talking.
