Denise Richards is chuckling away at a humorous mix-up concerning her OnlyFans photos and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Eloise. On the March 11th episode of "Denise Richards and Her Wild Things," the 54-year-old actress revealed, "Eloise has become quite adept with her phone and computer. We encountered a minor blunder involving an iPad."
Denise was seated beside Eloise during her confessional segment, reliving the cringe-worthy incident. "I hadn't realized that some of my OnlyFans photos had synchronized to her iPad," Denise said, bursting into laughter. When a producer inquired about Eloise's reaction upon seeing the photo, the teenager couldn't help but giggle along with her mother.
Denise adopted Eloise in 2011, when she was just a five-week-old bundle of joy. Eloise lives with a rare chromosomal condition known as Chromosome 8, Monosomy 8p, which causes delays in speech and development. (Denise is also the proud mother of Sami, 20, and Lola, 19, from her previous marriage to Charlie Sheen.)
The Tuesday episode also provided an intimate glimpse into Eloise's homeschooling journey.
In her heartfelt confessional, Denise shared, "Navigating the best path for parents with children who have special needs is a daunting challenge. Each child is a unique tapestry." She continued, "For Eloise, we ventured into the classroom setting, only to witness the harsh realities of peer cruelty. Her spirit began to dim, prompting us to opt for personalized tutoring. The transformation in Eloise has been nothing short of miraculous."
Denise elaborated that Eloise, "though primarily nonverbal, possesses a small vocabulary that she treasures." She further remarked, "Eloise has an extraordinary ability to bring out the best in Sami and Lola. Their eyes light up whenever she's around."
In their individual confessionals, Sami and Lola provided deeper insights into their bond with Eloise. Sami reflected, "In all honesty, she sometimes offers me gems of wisdom. When discussing a new acquaintance, I'll ask, 'Is he cute?' She'll give me a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. A thumbs-down means it's time to move on." He added, "Her honesty is invaluable, and I deeply respect her perspective."
On the other hand, Lola often seeks Eloise's fashion advice. "If I present her with an outfit and she laughs, I know it's a disaster," Lola said with a chuckle. "Her laughter is my fashion critique."
Denise harbors a lingering hope that Eloise will one day find her voice. "Eloise embarked on swimming lessons, initially grasping the instructor's guidance. Yet, the next day, it was as if she'd never touched water. But, in Hawaii, one magical day, she just started swimming. Some things click instantly. I yearn for the day when she bursts out with sentences, when her voice is unleashed," she said with longing.
