Richards, known for her roles in films like “Starship Troopers” and “Wild Things,” opened up about her experience on the January 3rd episode of “Jeff lewis Live”.

“I still have to get them redone,” Richards shared with Lewis.”I was supposed to a month ago but I couldn’t as we were filming. So yeah, no, I still have to get them redone.” When quizzed about whether Fox would be covering the cost of the procedure,Richards replied with a definitive “no.” “I think I pretty much signed our life away doing that show. It’s hazardous!”

**[INTRO MUSIC]**
**HOST:** Welcome back to Archyde,everyone. Today we have a special Alex Reed, the one and only Denise richards, joining us to talk about her experience on the Fox reality show “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” Denise, thanks for being here.
**DENISE RICHARDS:** Thanks for having me.
**HOST:** now, viewers saw you push your limits on the show, but unfortunately, there was an incident.
**DENISE RICHARDS:** You know, it was definitely an experience, that’s for sure! The bridge jump, which caused my ruptured implants, was a bit intense.
**HOST:** So, walk us through what happened.
**DENISE RICHARDS:** It was more the harness than the fall itself. You know, we were all strapped in, and the impact when we hit the water was pretty jarring. My implants, well, they didn’t quite handle it as well as I hoped.
**HOST:** Ouch,I can only imagine.
**DENISE RICHARDS:** It’s definitely not something I’ve ever experienced before!
**HOST:** You mentioned on “Jeff Lewis Live” that you haven’t had them fixed yet due to filming commitments.
**DENISE RICHARDS:** Yeah, it was supposed to happen last month, but, as you know, show business waits for no one. So, they’re still on the to-do list, and I’m looking forward to getting them taken care of soon.
**HOST:** And obviously,the medical bills must be adding up. You said Fox wasn’t covering the cost.
**DENISE RICHARDS:** Yeah, that’s the unfortunate part of reality TV. There are waivers and releases, and I think I may have signed away my firstborn child, honestly. But hey, you live and learn!
**HOST:** We’ve seen other celebrities on “Special Forces” facing tough challenges. What would you tell potential contestants thinking about joining the show?
**DENISE RICHARDS:** Look, it’s a privilege to even be considered, and the experience pushes you to the absolute limit, physically and mentally.But go in knowing it’s hazardous! Be prepared, give it your all, and maybe invest in good, sturdy implants!
**[HOST LAUGHS] **
**HOST:** Wise words indeed, Denise. Thanks again for sharing your story with us.

## Archyde Interview: Denise Richards Opens Up About Painful “Special Forces” Bridge Jump
**Archyde:** Welcome too Archyde, Denise! We’re glad you’re here today.
**denise Richards:** Thank you for having me.
**Archyde**: You recently wrapped filming for Season 3 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” The show is notorious for its intense physical challenges.
**Denise Richards**: That’s without a doubt! They really push you to your absolute limit.
**Archyde**: Speaking of pushing limits, you sustained a pretty serious injury during filming. Can you tell us about that?
**denise Richards:** Yes. There was a challenge where we had to jump off a bridge. Unfortunately, the harness I was wearing caused my breast implants to rupture.
**(Denise Richards laughs wryly)**
**Archyde**: Wow. That sounds incredibly painful.
**Denise Richards:** It certainly was, and it’s still affecting me. I’m actually waiting to have surgery to get them redone.
**Archyde**: I understand you mentioned it was the harness, not the fall itself, that caused the rupture. How did that happen?
**Denise Richards**: It was just a tight fit. I think the material of the harness wasn’t very forgiving with the extra padding… you know, the implants.
**(denies Richards pulls her jacket tighter)**
**Archyde**: That’s a lot to endure. did Fox, the network behind “Special Forces,” offer to cover the cost of the surgery?
**Denise Richards**: (chuckles) Honestly, when I signed up for the show, I think I signed my life away! No, they’re not covering it.
**Archyde**: Despite the injury, you finished filming the season. How did you manage to push through?
**Denise Richards**: It was tough, but I’m not one to give up easily. The experience was something I wanted to see through.
**Archyde**: What was it about “Special Forces” that appealed to you in the frist place?
**Denise Richards**: I like to challenge myself,and I knew this show would definitely do that. It was a chance to learn new things and test my limits.
**Archyde**: Would you do it again?
**Denise Richards**: (Laughs) you know what, after the surgery, maybe I’d reconsider jumping off any bridges, but I never shy away from a challenge. We’ll see.
**Archyde**: Well, Denise, thanks for being so open with us.
**Denise richards:** My pleasure.
