I also suspect that she didn’t only quit acting because of the trauma, but also because she knew and accepted that she wasn’t going to get work again after standing up for herself.
My heart bleeds for Denise. Her ex-husband dated her best friend of 14 years behind her back, and she still survived that betrayal. Then he took her children away from her and cut off all communication, knowing exactly how deeply that would break a mother. Some people destroy others emotionally and still sleep peacefully at night. We love you, Denise. You remain in our prayers, and we truly hope that one day you will be reunited with your beautiful girls. I just hope life eventually became softer for her after everything she endured. ❤️
