She said he used death threats against her.
Divorce from Charlie Sheen
Denise Richards claimed in her filing for divorce that her husband was physically and verbally abusive and threatened repeatedly to kill her or have her killed. Richards also said that Sheen had become increasingly paranoid and obsessive. Among his issues were 9/11 conspiracy theories, a belief that baby formula could caused brain damage, and a “morbid fascination” with Nicole Simpson’s death (the deceased wife of O.J. Simpson).
Denise Richards in addition claimed that Sheen visited hookers and was addicted to gambling, prescription drugs (purchased through the Internet), and porno. This served the basis for her filing for a restraining order against Sheen.[6] Charlie Sheen denied the allegations.

After noticing some paparazzi taking her picture from a nearby balcony, she try to confront them, grabbed one of their laptops and tossed it over the balcony.
