Denise Richards is a good friend.

In Entertainment Weekly’s exclusive clip of her new Bravo reality show (out tonight), Denise Richards and Her Wild Things, the actress offers support to actress Tori Spelling that few others could give, because they’re not in the spotlight like the actresses are. The star of the the 1998 thriller Wild Things advises the former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress to shake off any worries about everyone else’s thoughts on the way she’s raising her family.

After Spelling laments a remark that her daughters are going to read something specific that’s been written about her, Richards quickly shuts down the negativity.

“You know what?” she tells Spelling in the exclusive clip below. “Your daughters have read other s—. Ya know, that’s the least of your worries. Just like me with my kids.”

Richards is mom to daughters Sami, 20, and Lola, 19, whom she shares with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and 13-year-old Eloise, who’s been adopted by Aaron Phypers, Richards’ husband since 2018. Spelling has five kids, ranging in age from 8 to 17, with husband Dean McDermott.

The former Bond Girl advises that when Spelling’s children are adults they will appreciate that their mother had to deal with being watched at every moment.

“When they’re older, older,” Richards says, “they’ll look back and, ‘Wow, my mom. she was her true, authentic self. And I really applaud her for that.'”

The Drop Dead Gorgeous star notes her experience with the media and her own children in an aside. “When we were in all the tabloids, the girls were too young to even read them, and I really wanted our home to be our sanctuary,” Richards tells the camera. “As they’re getting older, they’re like, ‘Why didn’t you tell me this, Mom?’ I said, ‘Well, what am I gonna say? You girls were young. What am I gonna say? The truth? No!'”

Known for movies including James Bond adventure The World Is Not Enough in 1999 and 1997’s Starship Troopers, Richards has done reality TV in the past. She was on Denise Richards: It’s Complicated, which also featured her family, in 2008. In the years since, she’s gone to appear in several seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and, most recently, the physically challenging Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. On the latter, she ruptured her breast implants by jumping off a bridge.

In her latest series, audiences will see a life “more complicated and unpredictable” than they have before. “Richards is trying to balance it all as she navigates being an actress, wife and mother in the public eye,” a news release teases. “When her daughters Sami and Lola can’t see eye-to-eye, Denise works hard to keep her family together. Along the way, Denise gets together with her famous friends and ex-husband Charlie Sheen for a series of wild and offbeat adventures in Hollywood.”

Denise Richards and Her Wild Things premieres with back-to-back episodes Tuesday, March 4, at 10:30 p.m. on Bravo.
