Tensions are coming to a head between Denise Richards' eldest daughters Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen at a family barbecue on the series premiere of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
In a preview for Episode 1 of Denise's family show (the first two episodes will air back-to-back on March 4 starting at 9/8c on Bravo), Lola and Sami attempt to repair their fractured relationship with their mother as a witness — but not without hurling some insults at each other first.
"I think we need to work through this," Denise tells her daughters at a picnic table, which you can check out by watching the video at the top of this post.
"I think it would only be successful if someone here was capable of holding themselves accountable, so," Sami says, not-so-subtly referring to her younger sister.
"Um," Lola responds. "I think also if she could just not cuss me out and actually be respectful, that would be nice."
Denise asks her eldest if she can abide by Lola's request.
"Can you stop hanging with my ex?" Sami wonders.
Lola shakes her head before answering, "The way that you speak to me is so rude."
Sami says that she only speaks to Lola like that because she thinks she's a "bitch, dude."
Denise takes umbrage with what Sami just said.
"Don't call her dude, she's your sister," The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum interjects. "I want you guys to repair your relationship."
Sami admits that she doesn't want to do that "right now," because it feels "force[d]."
In an interview on the episode, Lola expresses that she feels like Denise takes Sami's side. In her own confessional, Sami says that she thinks Lola gets away with more because she's the "little sister."
The tension is soon cut when Denise realizes that the chain of her designer bag has gotten stuck in the slats of the picnic table. She starts using a fork to try to free the bag. Meanwhile, Sami and Lola continue to go at it.
"I think you genuinely need to work on how to talk to someone, Sami," Lola continues.
"I'm a very nice person to the people I want to be nice to," Sami retorts. "You have disrespected me one too many times."
"All you do is belittle me!" Lola exclaims. "And call me names."
Denise, meanwhile, is too focused on getting the bag out.
"What the f--k are you doing?" Sami asks her mom, while Lola tells that Denise she's done with the conversation because Sami is being "mean."
"I know, that's why I was trying to stop it," Denise says as she decides to give up on getting her purse out. "Let's stop."
Why don't Sami Sheen and Lola Sheen get along?
The official announcement for Denise Richards & Her Wild Things confirms that Sami and Lola "can’t see eye-to-eye" on the debut season.
Viewers will have to tune in to find out what exactly is coming between the sisters — besides Lola's apparent friendship with Sami's ex — but their differing lifestyles could be partly to blame.
Sami has a lucrative OnlyFans account, where she posts "mature content," while Lola "could not be more different from her famous family" and got baptized in January 2025.
"I chose to get baptized at the beginning of this year because I made it through this year only by the strength of Jesus," Lola shared on Instagram on January 22. "And I am so happy to go into this next year after publicly declaring Jesus as my savior."
