Denise Richards has shared her thoughts on her daughter’s OnlyFans career and where they set boundaries.
Richards, 54, is known for her roles in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, as a Bond girl, and even her own OnlyFans account.
She joined the platform in June 2022 after seeing her 20-year-old daughter, Sami Sheen, succeed on it.
Sami, the daughter of Richards and actor Charlie Sheen, started on OnlyFans at 18 years old. In an interview with PEOPLE, she explained she wanted to afford an apartment and realized that working at a candy shop wouldn’t be enough.
“So I went to the next best thing and made an OnlyFans,” she said.
Two years later, Sami says her online work has helped her in many ways.
“It has opened so many doors,” she shared, adding that she enjoys being her own boss, choosing her hours, and doing what she loves.
She also learns from other models by talking to them or watching their content.
However, not everyone supports her career. Sami has faced backlash, which has upset Richards.
“It bothered me that Sami was getting criticism just for owning her sexuality and making her own choices,” Richards said, drawing from her own experiences.
Richards has since joined OnlyFans herself, a move Sami fully supports.
“I think it’s great,” Sami said, though she wished her mother had waited a bit before starting.
Despite both being on the platform, they follow one important rule—they do not look at each other’s content.
When asked if they had ever checked each other’s pages, Sami replied, “No, that would be weird.”
Richards agreed: “Yes, we draw a line there.”
Sami’s younger sister, Lola, 19, also shared her opinion on their mother’s decision to join the platform.
“Whatever makes her happy,” she said.
This interview comes before Richards’ new Bravo show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, premiering March 2.
The show will feature her husband Aaron Phyphers, as well as Sami, Lola, and their younger sister, Eloise Richards.
