Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen, seen in 2003, still talk but aren't 'in the best place right now.'

While Charlie Sheen has been blabbing about his life at every chance he gets, one person close to him has remained remarkably quiet: Denise Richards.

But the mother of two of his daughters ? 7-year-old Sam and 5-year-old Lola ? broke her months-long silence Thursday night on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live."

"We're not in the best place right now, to be honest with you," Richards told host Andy Cohen of her relationship with her ex-husband.

But the 40-year-old admitted she does "still communicate with him," even though he has repeatedly bashed her on-stage during his "Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" tour.

"I haven't heard the actual show but I've heard bits and pieces," she said. "I just think there's places you shouldn't go, but he chooses to and that's his choice."

And while Richards calls it "hurtful," she realizes "he can do what he wants in his show."

NASTIEST CELEBRITY DIVORCE BATTLES

The actress revealed she's met Sheen's "goddesses" ? Natalie Kenly and Rachel Oberlin, also known as Bree Olson ? but has managed to keep their kids away from the women.

"This is his lifestyle and I've accepted it," she said, adding the caveat that "there's things that I don't think are the most appropriate for two young impressionable daughters."

And probably not appropriate for Sheen's 2-year-old sons with soon-to-be ex-wife Brooke Mueller.

Richards confirmed reports that she has offered to care for the twins while both troubled parents try to work out their personal issues.

"I wasn't asking for custody or anything like that," she clarified. "But I definitely ? I've put it out there several times over the last couple years that if they need help, I'm here."

"I would love to have the boys to stay and be with the girls," she said. "Whatever help they needed, I was definitely offering."

PHOTOS: STARS IN REHAB

Richards seems to get along well enough with Mueller, though she said the two haven't spoken since Mueller went back to rehab earlier this week.

"I give Brooke a lot of credit that she's going to try and fix the issue," Richards said.

But one thing she can't offer much insight on is Sheen's sobriety.

"I'm not with him" she explained. "I don't know if he's sober or not."

"It makes me sad to see him on a very wonderful, well-written, hugely popular show to going down this path," she said.
