Amid all the intense drama on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', we learned some interesting trivia about Denise Richards' hit film 'Wild Things'. When the movie came out in the '90s, it made quite the stir due to a threesome scene. The steamy scene featured Denise and her co-star Neve Campbell kissing and it sent everybody's heart racing. Since threesomes seem to be the hot topic of conversation on 'RHOBH', Lisa Rinna got straight to the point and asked Denise what it was like to shoot a threesome.

The 'Wild Things' actress reflected on the question for a moment before declaring it as "uncomfortable". Meanwhile, the other housewives were smirking waiting for Denise's response, when Dorit Kemsley asked Denise how many takes she had to do. The actress admitted that she had to do a lot of takes before getting it right. Denise then explains how filming those scenes in front of the whole crew can be rather uncomfortable. She said, "It’s weird but you just have to commit. I will say this, when it was just her (Neve Campbell) and I, it was easier because you just feel like you’ll protect each other and you know different things you don’t want, that kind of thing. But the other part of it that wasn’t easier with that scene was knowing that people on the crew were, 'Oh, two girls are kissing'."

Erika Jayne, who seems to be going after Denise this season, asks how her father felt when he saw his daughter perform such scenes on the big screen. The housewife calmly responded by explaining how she told her mother all about it before they went to watch the movie. So, right when the scene was about to come up, her mother and father left the theatre. She added that her parents wouldn't want to watch the scene anyway. Later, in her green room interview, Denise explained how it was difficult for her to film 'Wild Things' because she was raised as a conservative Catholic girl.

But luckily, Denise wasn't caught off-guard about these steamy scenes in the movie. She revealed how she was aware of it during the time of booking the film. The actress then shared how originally she was supposed to show just one nipple in the scene, but ended up showing both. After watching the whole exchange between the ladies and Denise, we couldn't help but admire what a sport Denise is. Although the other housewives asked these questions with an ulterior motive of shaming and putting down the actress, she handled the situation with such grace and calm, that she has left us impressed.
