Denise Richards Claims Ex Charlie Sheen 'Changed His Tune' About Daughter Sami's OnlyFans Career When She Bought a Mercedes
Charlie Sheen started supporting daughter Sami's OnlyFans career after she started raking in the cash — at least, that's what ex-wife Denise Richards implied.
The Wild Things actress spoke about the subject with The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel on her "Just B" podcast that aired on Tuesday, November 7.
"He changed his tune when she bought a Mercedes and moved into a house," Denise told the Bravo star. "When she first did OnlyFans, he was not happy."
Sami, 19, promoted her OnlyFans on her Instagram in June and has built a significant presence on the adult content website since then. It's been reported that earlier this year, she was making at least $80,000 per month from subscriptions alone.
As OK! previously reported, the Two and a Half Men actor publicly denied having any involvement in his daughter's controversial career choice.
"She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof," he said in a statement 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.”

However, Denise defended her daughter's personal choices from the beginning.
"Lots of negative comments on my social this past week. I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18 yr old daughter has. And I also can't be judgmental of her choices," she said. "Quite frankly her father shouldn't be either. And to be able to ignore the negativity at her age? It took me many years and I still sometimes struggle."
"I'm in awe of her ability to be able to shut out the noise," she continued. "Because it can destroy you."
Charlie later admitted that he finally came around after realizing that providing his daughter with love and support would be healthier for her.
"I had a knee-jerk reaction to it because of the reputation that preceded it. I was just like, ‘Oh, this can only go bad,’" he explained. "She’s doing this and it can only be a much more successful and pleasant experience with the support of myself, her mom, and others."
"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," he added. "I believe her to be incorruptible."
