Denise Richards decided to join OnlyFans after her daughter Sami Sheen because she thought everyone posts “pictures of ourselves in bathing suits”.
The “Drop Dead Gorgeous” star explained in a new interview that she signed up for the typically risqué platform because it gives the account holder the rights to their content, so she accepted 18-year-old Sami’s decision.
“My daughter received a lot of criticism for opening the account. I had heard of OnlyFans, but I wasn’t educated about what OnlyFans was, and once I started learning about it, I really think the site’s creators really took the best of every social media platform and rolled it into one site,” Richards, 51, explained to KTLA.
“You own your content. The other sites may sell your content. We all post pictures of ourselves wearing bathing suits on Instagram and on some other sites that there is no difference except you own the content,” she added.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum also shared that her daughter’s response to her joining the platform has been “positive,” albeit a little skeptical.
“I thought, ‘Is that a little strange?'” Richards wondered. “Then she said, ‘We’re both on Instagram,’ and I said, ‘You’re right!'”
While this mother-daughter duo support each other as part of OnlyFans, Sami’s father, Charlie Sheen, is anything but.
“She is now 18 years old and lives with her mother. This didn’t happen under my roof,” the former “Two and a Half Men” star, 56, told Vidak For Congress in June.
“I don’t condone this, but since I can’t prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy and creative and not sacrifice her integrity.”
Richards and Charlie were married from 2002 to 2006 and also share 17-year-old daughter Lola.
