Denise Richards has faced renewed criticism for ‘enabling’ her daughter Sami’s controversial career as a ‘sex worker’ on OnlyFans, insiders have claimed, with Charlie Sheen believed to be angry at their daughter’s job title.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise, 53, has been the biggest defender of Sami’s foray into adult entertainment – and even joined the X-rated subscription platform herself when she saw how much money her 20-year-old daughter was making.
However, Denise’s decision to ‘support’ Sami’s new path as a self-styled ‘sex worker’ has been criticized by some close to her who fear it will ‘damage’ her daughter’s reputation.
‘Denise is enabling her daughter to continue her OnlyFans, knowing it is damaging her reputation and upsetting her family,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
Denise Richards has been criticized for ‘enabling’ her daughter Sami’s controversial OnlyFans career, insiders have claimed
Sami’s father Charlie Sheen is reportedly less than impressed with Denise for supporting their daughter’s career as a ‘sex worker’, but knows it’s ‘ultimately Sami’s decision’
The insider explained that some of Denise’s other Bravo co-stars aren’t impressed with the example the actress is setting.
‘Sami described herself as a sex worker recently and Denise’s cast find it disgusting that she is setting this kind of example for her fans.
“But they also said that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree and that Denise not only approves of this, but enables it.”
Elsewhere, Sami’s father Charlie Sheen is said to be less than impressed with Denise’s support for their daughter’s new career, but knows it is ‘ultimately Sami’s decision.’
The source added: ‘Charlie isn’t happy at all but he knows that at the end of the day it’s Sami’s decision to live the way she wants to live. She makes an insane amount of money from this and that’s what drives her.’
In fact, Charlie was initially opposed to his daughter’s online gig, but later told Us Weekly: ‘Denise has highlighted a number of salient points that I, in my haste, overlooked and dismissed.
“Now more than ever, it’s important that Sami has a united parenting front to rely on as she embarks on this new adventure. From this moment on, she will have it in abundance.’
Sharon Osbourne is among those who have criticized Sami’s decision to make a living from the X-rated website, with the former X Factor judge accusing her of setting a ‘bad example’.

But Denise has continued to praise and support her daughter, recently sharing a gushing public tribute on Sami’s birthday, just days before the young model released her first ‘boy/girl collaboration’ with new boyfriend Aiden David on OnlyFans.
‘Happy 20th birthday my beautiful Sami girl,’ Denise wrote alongside pictures of herself and Sami posing with a horse.
‘I love you so much and I’m so proud of you. You are just as beautiful inside and have been a wise soul since the day you were born,’ she continued.
‘I love you so much and I am endlessly grateful and blessed to be your mother. I love you girl girl. And your Nana is always looking after you and always here with you and I know she is so proud of you too. Happy Birthday.’
Sami, who joined OnlyFans just three months after turning 18, announced his new X-rated collaboration with Aiden with a steamy photo of the pair kissing after taking a shower.
‘The collaboration you’ve been waiting for drops this Tuesday ;)’ she wrote on X.
She then posted another photo of herself with her shirtless boyfriend and wrote: ‘My first B/G collab is out today’.
Aiden is also an OnlyFans creator and offers X-rated content on his page that is too explicit to refer to.
Although it’s unclear exactly how explicit their collaboration will be, the young model is certainly not holding back on her own account.
In one post, Sami told her subscribers to tip her $45 if they want to watch her ‘lick my own nipples’.

Another post sees her on all fours in the sand under a pier with the caption: ‘Sex on the beach.’
Sami went under the knife to get breast implants last November after admitting she had always wanted ‘to have big breasts like my mum’.
Last October, Denise posted a glamorous photo of herself and Sami side by side with the caption: ‘Is my mini me @samisheen and I doing another collab?’
She was immediately slammed by fans and later retracted during an interview on The Viall Files.
“They’re so judgmental of me and people are like, ‘How can you do that? Your daughter,” she told host Nick Viall.
“I did not cooperate with my daughter,” she stressed. ‘Did I make a picture with my daughter’s face and I that was on social media? Yes. Did I collaborate with my daughter on a sexual OnlyFans shoot? Absolutely not. It’s not true.’
The young model has admitted that OnlyFans is now her ‘main source of income’
Sami promises that subscribers can see her ‘naughty side’ on the website
The reality TV personality insisted she hadn’t even seen her daughter’s OnlyFans post.
“I haven’t even been on my daughter’s side,” she explained.
Due to the fact that she took part in films such as Wild Things and posed for Playboy early in her career, Denise said she is able to relate to her daughter.
“I protected her as a young woman coming into this business (and) being judged,” she said. ‘Because it’s not fair that whether people agree or not and it’s easy to judge, how can I judge things with some of the things I’ve done in my career.
“Like when I was in Wild Things and I was doing Playboy, did I ever think, ‘Oh my God, one day when my kids are older…’ You don’t think about it because it seems so far away.
She continued: ‘Then the day comes and you think, “Well damn, I’ve got to deal with this.” It is hard.’
Sami’s father Charlie was initially against his daughter’s online concert, but later stated: ‘Denise has highlighted a number of salient points that I in my haste overlooked and dismissed.’
A few days later she teased: ‘Who’s excited for my shoot with @SamiSheen tomorrow! I am! Also a bit nervous. Send me some love!!! If I can get wifi I’ll try to go live from there tomorrow.’
Despite her claims, Denise has posted about Sami several times on her OnlyFans account.
In July 2022, the RHOBH star wrote: ‘After several requests I will be doing a photo shoot with my daughter Sami next week. We hope you enjoy the pictures.’
Denise and ex Charlie also share 18-year-old daughter Lola.
OnlyFans is used by sex workers who produce NSFW content, but it also hosts other content creators, such as physical fitness experts and musicians.
