Denise RichardsAfter a few months of civility, it looks like Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards‘ divorce and custody battle is set to turn nasty again.

A friend of Charlie’s has told the New York Post that the actor is bitter that he cannot see his daughters Lola and Sam without supervision and will take Denise to court to turn around the ruling: “[Denise]’s doing everything she can to keep his visits supervised by her nanny, because her nanny spies for her.”

The source added that Denise is also “very jealous” of Charlie’s relationship with now-fiancee Brooke Mueller and the Starship Troopers star “craves the spotlight”, so has been using Charlie’s engagement for her own devices.

Denise is said to have sent flowers to the couple on hearing about Charlie’s proposal and was snapped meeting Brooke for lunch but the source said: “Denise set it up. Brooke never got the flowers, but she did get a call from Denise saying, ‘It’s an emergency, come meet me now.’ When Brooke met her, there were four paparazzi waiting to take their picture. After the pictures were done, Denise told Brooke, ‘It’s been taken care of’.”

Denise denied the claims, saying: “He is doing this now because he’s not happy with me and the custody arrangement.”

“I did ask both Charlie and Brooke to lunch to see the kids - he hadn’t seen them in two weeks - but only Brooke took me up on it. The paparazzi were already following me, as they do every day, and took a picture - and I have the bill for the flowers I sent from Mark’s Garden. Brooke even showed my nanny the flowers.”
