Denise Richards' Shocking Injury on 'Special Forces'

In an unexpected turn of events, actress Denise Richards revealed she suffered a heartbreaking injury while filming the intense reality series 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.' The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star, aged 53, recently shared the shocking details of her ordeal on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live.

During the show's taping, Richards jumped off a bridge, an act she recalls with discomfort. 'That’s when I ruptured my implants,' she confessed, explaining how the harness she wore contributed to the injury. In a candid moment, she disclosed, 'I still have to get them redone. I was supposed to a month ago but couldn’t because we were filming.'

Despite her predicament, insurance complications mean she’ll have to bear the costs of the surgery herself. 'I think we pretty much signed our life away doing that show,' she lamented, indicating the inherent risks involved in the extreme challenges the contestants face.

Richards competed in this grueling season alongside other notable celebrities such as Trista Sutter and Brody Jenner, tackling various dangerous tasks set against the rugged backdrop of Wales, known for its challenging landscape and connection to British Special Forces. The cast faced perilous tasks, including hostage rescues and daunting height challenges like a treacherous ladder crossing from cliff to cliff nearly 100 feet above the ocean.

Adding to the emotional mix, Richards shared that her three daughters—Sami, 20, Lola, 19, and Eloise, 13—were not pleased about her participation. 'They were very upset with me,' she revealed. 'They were afraid I was going to get hurt or get killed, and they were actually really angry.'

Despite their concerns and her self-acknowledged lack of athleticism, Richards chose to embrace the challenge. 'I thought, ‘This is the most challenging thing I’ll ever do, and why not do it?’ she expressed bravely. Once committed, Richards found herself immersed in the demanding environment with a mix of trepidation and determination.

The new season of 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' is set to air on Wednesday, January 8, at 8 p.m. ET on Fox, promising viewers a heart-pounding look at the extreme lengths the celebrity contestants go to. Will Denise manage to recover both physically and emotionally from this shocking incident? Stay tuned for what could be another incredible season filled with trials, tribulations, and the quest for self-discovery!
