Denise Richards' Bloodshot Eyes At The RHOBH Reunion Explained

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion is in full swing, with the usual cast of romance-related gossip, double-crossing, and social-media related backstabbing that we all love to hate on (via Women's Health). Are you all caught up? The latest scandal that had all of us talking wasn't whether or not Brandi actually had an affair with Denise in Season 10 (we'll leave that one up to your imagination), but why Denise Richards was spotted on camera with bloodshot eyes. You can track the drama on Comments By Bravo, although, the health of Denise's eyes has since become a mini-internet sensation, picking up articles in PeopleToday, and many more.

Just a week past the collective detective work we all did trying to figure out why Donald Trump Jr.'s eyes were watery during his RNC convention speech, we've put our Sherlock Holmes hats back on. Is Denise Richards taking illicit drugs? That's what some RHOBH Instagram fans speculate. But Denise, never one to skip a beat, had an explanation on hand. 

Why Denise Richards says she had red eyes

So, fellow sleuths, why did Denise Richards have bloodshot eyes at the RHOBH Reunion?  "I am allergic to powder, I've tried so many. I hate it. As soon as it's used on my face, my eyes get bright red immediately," Denise wrote in reply to an Instagrammer's question. Not only her eyes, but her nose also starts running, apparently. (We didn't see any runny noses caught on tape, for what it's worth.)

"At first drops help, but as the day goes on, nothing does," Denise continued, "On this production in Spain they even had to switch to cream shadows and blotting paper. Any make up  artist that has worked with me & still works with me knows this about me & we would love any input on this."  Does her explanation satisfy your curiosity? Other Instagrammers, quick to shout "Team Denise," have affirmed that red eyes due to make up allergies are "100 percent a real thing."
