Charlie Sheen Approved Teen Daughter's OnlyFans After Seeing Her Huge Earnings
Charlie Sheen no longer opposes his teen daughter Sami's OnlyFans after seeing how much she was earning from it, according to the actor's ex-wife, Denise Richards.
During an interview on Bethenny Frankel's "Just B" podcast Tuesday, Richards claimed that while he was initially unhappy about their daughter joining OnlyFans, Sheen "changed his tune" when Sami "bought a Mercedes and moved into a house" with the money she earned from posting adult content for the subscription-based website.
The 52-year-old actress went on to share that Sami "did not appreciate" how "public" her father had been about his disapproval when she joined the site in June last year, just three months after turning 18.
Richards' comments came days after the "Two and a Half Men" alum said in an interview with Bustle that he eventually came around about his daughter's OnlyFans account after what he described as a "knee-jerk reaction."
"I was just like, 'Oh, this can only go bad,'" Sheen said, explaining that he initially disapproved due to the "reputation" of the website.
However, Sheen said he realized having his support would help Sami have "a much more successful and pleasant experience."
"I have to have confidence and just know in my heart that all of her virtues and all the wonderfulness that makes her, her, come with her. I believe her to be incorruptible," he added.
When Sami revealed that she joined OnlyFans last year, Richards immediately showed her support to her daughter, writing under the teen's announcement post on Instagram: "Sami, I will always support you [and] always have your back. I love you."
Sheen, on the other hand, released a statement through his publicist, Jeff Ballard, slamming his daughter's decision and seemingly blaming his ex-wife for it.
"She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof," the actor said in the statement obtained by Entertainment Tonight at the time. "I do not condone this, but since I'm unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity."
Richards quickly hit back at Sheen, telling ET: "Sami is 18, and this decision wasn't based on whose house she lives in. All I can do as a parent is guide her and trust her judgment, but she makes her own choices."
Shortly after, the "Wild Things" star announced via Instagram that she had followed in her daughter's footsteps and joined the platform.
Richards later explained on SiriusXM's "Jeff Lewis Live" that she signed on to help alleviate some of the backlash Sami was facing for joining the site first.
Meanwhile, Sami, who has not posted any fully nude content on OnlyFans, appears to be having a blast in her adult business venture.
She recently told Bustle that she has "never felt more confident" in her body.
Richards and Sheen, who were married from 2002 to 2006, also share 18-year-old Lola.
Richards is also a mother to 10-year-old daughter Eloise.
