Sex Crimes, Mortelle St Valentin, Starship Troopers…
She has made few films but many notable roles punctuate her career in Hollywood. She is one of the most iconic young actresses of her decade, the 90s. Alongside Neve Campbell, Katie Holmes, Rose McGowan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Tara Reid…
This is Denise Richards.
Some will forever associate it with the sultry lesbian kiss, the “pool scene” (no, not the one at the Loft) and the even hotter menage a trois that made history (for better and the worst) the twist thriller Sex Crimes, or Wild Things in the language of Shakespeare. This film is the absolute symbol of an era where the male gaze (the male gaze) was a little too king. Even if the women take their revenge through twists and turns.
Moreover, in this article we share with you a deleted (censored?) scene from this cult film.
But what happened to Denise Richards, sex symbol of the Dawson years?
While the celebrity media this week relayed photos of the glamorous icon at the Hollywood Christmas Parade at the end of the year, the public rightly marked their reunion with the star… By insulting him profusely on the networks social. Yes yes, it’s sad.
But why then?
“Creepy smile”, “Smile 3”, “It looks like the Joker”: the icon of the 90s insulted by Internet users
Indeed, Denise Richards was present at the Hollywood Christmas Parade. And this did not escape the cameras of the photographers, who came to properly greet the super glam model and actress. A former James Bond girl, let’s not forget!
But despite the brilliance of a career punctuated by emblematic works, the public does not spare him. And virulently comments on his face in 2024: “She’s auditioning for the horror movie Smile 3?”, “Is that the Joker?”, “What’s that creepy smile?”, “Disturbing”, “What did she do to her beautiful face ?”, “Too much Botox there”, “Is she smiling or not?”, “It’s her wax doll, isn’t it?“, we can read between two eloquent emojis.
Subtle.
A relentlessness that abandons gallantry in favor of a surge of sexist insanity. Here we spot a well-known phenomenon: botox shaming, or massive attack on personalities (women, most of the time, you will note) who have resorted, supposedly or not, to cosmetic surgery.
Audrey Fleurot can testify to this specific wave of hatred: she speaks about it openly here. At Terrafemina, we went into more detail about this nauseating recurrence in this mood post.
And this botox shaming also affects Demi Moore, another victim of male gaze – this is what this lunar sequence from 1995 retrieved by us demonstrates where the star does a strip tease live on TV – which in recent weeks has been at the heart of some of the most problematic comments: we tell you about it in this rant.
We wish Denise Richards more kind looks.
