Richie Sambora is speaking out — and the rocker is blasting rumors that he cheated on wife Heather Locklear.

“I remained faithful during my marriage,” Sambora tells the upcoming issue of Us Magazine. “And I defy anyone to refute that.”

Sambora — who is rumored to have dallied with Denise Richards, the estranged wife of Charlie Sheen as well as his wife’s ex-best friend — is clearly miffed about all the headlines surrounding the modern-day Peyton Place drama. “I will do anything to enable all of us to move past all of this,” the Bon Jovi guitarist told Us. “I pride myself on my privacy, and I will continue to value that.”

“He can’t believe he’s accused of wrongdoing, since Heather ended the marriage, tried to break their ironclad prenup and has now started dating David Spade,” an “insider” told the mag, adding that Richards “would love to spend [some] time” with Sambora and is “thinking” about joining him on the European leg of Bon Jovi’s Have a Nice Day tour. “Richie feels he’s entitled to date, too, and he’s developed strong feelings for Denise.”

You Said

I hate to point it out to him, but he's not divorced yet, so he was still married (and thus unfaithful) when fooling around with Denise.
