Denise Richards is admitting her Special Forces stint came at a price.
The actress, who competed on season 3 of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, revealed she ended up rupturing her breast implants during one of the grueling tasks.
“I jumped off a bridge, too — and that’s when I ruptured my [breast] implants — off of that thing,” Richards, 53, revealed on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” on Friday, January 3, while discussing the physical challenges she faced while taking part in the reality series.
Richards blamed a harness she was wearing during the activity for causing the rupture and shared that she is still yet to fix the issue affecting both her breast implants.

“I still have to get them redone,” Richards added. “I was supposed to a month ago but couldn’t because we were filming, so yeah, no, I still have to get them redone.”
She explained that she believes she would also have to bear the financial cost herself to repair the ruptures.
“I have to pay,” she said. “I think we pretty much signed our life away doing that show… It’s dangerous.”
In November, news broke that Richards was cast alongside 15 other recruits — including Kayla Nicole, Brody Jenner, Cam Newton, Stephen Baldwin, Carey Hart and more — for Special Forces’ season 3, which premieres on Fox on Wednesday, January 8.
During the show’s five-week run, fans will watch the celebrities attempt the “harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process” while training in Wales, England, per Fox. There are no votes or eliminations on the series.
Speaking exclusively to Us Weekly in December, Richards opened up about just how diffiicult the challenges were in her experience.
“It was the most challenging thing I’ve ever done, ever, ever,” she told Us, before adding, “I’m glad I did it, but I would never do it again.”
