Denise Richards denies cashing Charlie Sheen’s million-dollar check

Denise Richards denied cashing a million-dollar check from ex-husband Charlie Sheen.

The actress showed proof to her Instagram followers, sharing a photo of the uncashed check, tagging Sheen and adding the song “Money” by Pink Floyd.

The reality star wrote in her Instagram story, “Found this during my recent move. I never cashed it, @CharlieSheen. Is it still good?!”

The check was dated Dec. 24, 2011, five years after their divorce was finalized.

She posted it days after Sheen said he wrote her a check for a million dollars, claiming she cashed it one month after he gave it to her, much to his surprise and shock, while appearing on the “KFC Radio” podcast.

Sheen did not clarify when he wrote her the check, noting he forgot if it was during their marriage or after their divorce.

The “Two and a Half Men” star said it was more of a symbolic gift to her, noting it was most likely for her birthday, but he couldn’t exactly recall.

Richards’ birthday is Feb. 17, and the check she shared was dated December.

“I mean, I don’t think she’ll be too mad,” he said on his podcast, referring to Richards being upset that he told the story.

“I wrote a check to Denise once for a million dollars on her birthday kind of as a joke, and she kept it not as a joke,” Sheen, who has been sober nearly eight years, explained.

“And then, like a month later, f—— cashed it,” he added. “Which makes it sting more.”
