The actress reportedly joined the platform ‘right after’ her daughter did
Denise Richards has revealed how she really feels about her daughter’s OnlyFans career, remarking exactly where the pair ‘draw the line’.
You may know Richards from her role as a fan favourite on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, her portrayal of Bond girl Christmas Jones, or even be a subscriber to her OnlyFans account.
The 54-year-old debuted on the platform back in June 2022 after seeing the success her 20-year-old daughter Sami Sheen was having.
Sami – the eldest daughter of Richards and her ex-husband Charlie Sheen – announced her foray into the adult industry when she was 18.
At the time of the announcement, her mother left a supportive message on her Instagram profile.
“Sami I will always support you & always have your back,” the World Is Not Enough alumna typed,” as per Metro. “I love you”.
According to a new interview with PEOPLE, the 20-year-old revealed she’d joined the platform to purchase an apartment after realising ‘working at a candy shop’ wasn’t going to cut it.
“So I went to the next best thing and made an OnlyFans,” she confessed.
Two years later, and Sami claims her online work has opened ‘so many doors’ for her, adding she’s also met some ‘really cool’ people.
“It’s been really rewarding being my own boss and making my own hours and being able to do the things I’ve always wanted to do.”
Sami also claims she talks to other OnlyFans models or watches videos to get different ideas.
Unfortunately, Sami has reportedly received backlash for posting on the content, which has made her mum ‘upset’ by reminding her of the actress’ own grapple with the media.
Drawing on her own experiences as a ‘sex symbol’, Richards told the publication: “It bothered me that Sami was getting backlash for owning her own sexuality and her being a woman and doing what she wanted to.”

Following in her daughter’s footsteps, the reality TV star now also produces content for OnlyFans, a move Sami says she thinks is ‘great’.
“I always just tell her I wish she waited a little bit because she started it right after I did,” she confessed. “But yeah, it doesn’t bother me at all.
Sami also claimed there was a boundary in place when it comes to the mother-daughter duo pursuing their own online careers.
The rule? Don’t look at what the other is posting on their platform.
When asked if they had checked out each other’s pages, Sami told People: “No, that would be weird.”
The Scary Movie 3 actor echoed: “Yes, we draw a line there.”
Sami’s younger sister Lola, 19, – whose father is also Two and a Half Men’s Sheen – has also revealed her opinion on her mother doing OnlyFans.
“Whatever makes her happy,” she claimed.
The tell-all interview comes ahead of Richards’ new Bravo series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, which is set to debut on March 2.
The programme will document the Illinois native’s life with her husband Aaron Phyphers, and is set to feature appearances from Sami and Lola, as well as their younger sister Eloise Richards.
Richards added that the family will be just ‘trying to be themselves’ through the show, which has ‘always been her approach’.
