'RHOBH' alum Denise Richards slammed as she poses in Fourth of July photo draped in American flag: 'Complete disrespect'
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Denise Richards is known for looking amazing in a bikini, but this year on the Fourth of July, she surprised everyone by not wearing one. Instead, she was seen rolling in the grass, covered by a huge American flag, which made it seem like she wasn't wearing anything at all. She shared the photo on her Instagram handle.
Unfortunately, some fans disagreed with Denise's decision to use the American flag in this way. They accused her of disrespecting the flag because, according to the Flag Code, it should never touch the ground.
