Denise Richards’ reality show is facing the axe because of falling viewer figures, according to reports.

Denise Richards: It’s Complicated launched on E! earlier this year and was an instant hit, allowing viewers a sneak peak into the actress’ life with her two daughters with ex-husband Charlie Sheen.

But sources claim the way she handled her public battle with Sheen over custody of three year old Lola and Sam, two, has turned viewers off.

An insider tells Star magazine, “The numbers started out pretty good – just over 1.5 million tuned into the premiere episode. But the audience has dropped off. Denise has turned into an unappealing reality star.”

Richards’ bad language on the show has also angered the public.

The source adds, “Viewers were disgusted that a mother of two young girls would use such foul language.”
