Denise Richards is opening up about her daughter Sami’s OnlyFans page and her relationship with ex-husband Charlie Sheen. In a new interview on Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast, the actress shared her thoughts on the adjustments she’s had to make as her daughters grow older. Richards revealed that Sami, now 20, started an OnlyFans page when she turned 18.
“I really wanted to get an apartment, and I knew that working at the candy shop I was working at wasn’t going to cut it,” Sami said. “So I moved to the next best thing and made an OnlyFans.”
The actress admitted that she initially didn’t understand what OnlyFans was. “When I saw that she was getting backlash for owning her sexuality and doing what she wanted to do, it upset me as a mom and also as a woman in business,” Richards said.
Sami’s bravery even inspired Richards to create her own OnlyFans page, which she notes has been “quite lucrative.”
As for her relationship with Sheen, whom she divorced in 2006, Richards shared that they have maintained a supportive dynamic, especially for their children’s sake. “He’s been supportive from day one,” she said. Sheen was even supportive of their new reality series, “Denise Richards and Her Wild Things,” which will feature Richards, her daughters, and her husband, Aaron Phypers.

The show will follow the blended family as they navigate life in Hollywood. Sheen, who has been sober since 2017, will make an appearance.
“He saw the trailer and sent me such a wonderful, sweet, positive text,” Richards said. “I was actually really surprised. It meant a lot to me.”
Richards teased Sheen’s cameo on the show.
“Nobody has ever seen Charlie and I after our divorce sitting in a room talking,” she revealed. “We still joke around with each other and we can have a sense of humor about all the s–t we went through. It’s so bad that we have to laugh.”
The actress acknowledged that some people might question how she maintains a good relationship with Sheen, given their tumultuous past.
“The media only presents one side of the story,” Richards explained. “It was always important to us to keep a family unit when we could, for the girls.”
“Denise Richards and Her Wild Things” premieres Tuesday, March 4, on Bravo, featuring two back-to-back half-hour episodes starting at 9 p.m. ET.
