DRICHARDS092607_01.jpgAmidst a bitter custody dispute that has gotten increasingly more contentious, Denise Richards stepped out in Beverly Hills with her daughters Sam and Lola, without her ever-present nanny (pictured below). Hmmm, wherever could the nanny be? Perhaps at a lawyer's office making another "declaration"?

Friends of Brooke and Charlie were befuddled and amazed but mostly outraged
by Denise's latest allegation. A source close to the situation tells X17:

“This child molestation stuff is beyond horrible," said a friend. "Denise is a very bitter, jealous woman. Charlie is one of the highest paid actors on
TV. He's got a great girlfriend and a great life. And the kids love Brooke.
Denise doesn't have anything close to what Charlie has. So she's using a
paid employee to come up with this nonsense. It's transparent on its face."
