The 'Two and a Half Men' actor's pals are furious with Denise's claims she has no money and had to star in her own reality TV show - with the couple's two daughters, Sam, four, and two-year-old Lola - to make a living.
One friend told the New York Post newspaper: "Denise gets US$52,000 a month tax-free in child support. Most people in America can figure out how to live on that, but Denise can't?"
As well as child support, Denise also receives US$60,000 a month for two years in alimony as well as a cut from Charlie's hugely popular US TV show 'Two and a Half Men'.
Charlie said through his representative: "The mere fact that she continues to publicly discuss and harass me three years after our separation, which for the record is longer than the actual length of the marriage, is beyond desperate and speaks volumes."
Meanwhile, Denise claims an email alleged to be from her to Charlie's fiancee Brooke Mueller asking for a sperm donation from him is "not legitimate".
Speaking about the email, which was revealed during her divorce battle with Charlie, on US TV show 'The Today Show', Denise said: "It's a doctored email. I would never send an email to her and, at the time of that email, I was with Richie Sambora. If I wanted anybody's sperm, I'd have asked for Richie's."
