Denise Richards Sets OnlyFans Boundary With Daughter

Denise Richards & Daughter Sami Sheen’s OnlyFans Rule – A Family Affair, But With Boundaries

Dear reader, celebrity news rarely lacks spice, but Denise Richards and her daughter Sami Sheen have served up a particularly steamy conversation starter. When Richards, the actress, former Real Housewife, and eternal '90s crush, joined OnlyFans in 2022 following her daughter’s success on the platform, the move turned heads faster than a wardrobe malfunction on live TV.

But for all the eyebrows raised, Richards and Sheen are comfortable with their decisions—so long as they stick to one fundamental rule: neither of them views the other's content. Yep, in the grand scheme of maternal-daughter relationships, this is where they draw the line. Honestly? Fair enough.

Like Mother, Like Daughter—But Not Too Much

Sami, now 20, joined OnlyFans at 18 for an incredibly relatable reason: she needed rent money. It turns out that working at a candy shop wasn’t cutting it, so she turned to the subscriber-based platform to make a living. And judging by her recent comments, it’s working out well for her. She told PEOPLE:

“It opened so many doors for me. And I've met really cool people doing it, and it's been really rewarding being my own boss and making my own hours and being able to do the things I've always wanted to do.”

If you had told past-me that therapist-fodder-extraordinaire Charlie Sheen would have a daughter making a solid career move in the adult content industry, I might have raised an eyebrow. But here we are. She’s thriving, making money, and seemingly unbothered by the critics. Her mom, however, was very bothered by the backlash her daughter received, a reaction that ultimately led to her own OnlyFans debut.

Why Denise Richards Joined OnlyFans

Richards didn’t join OnlyFans merely to cash in on her timeless allure—though she jokingly admitted, “I’m grateful if someone wants to see my boobies.” (Honestly, iconic energy.) Instead, she was frustrated by the public criticism of her daughter’s choice. Richards explained:

"It bothered me that Sami was getting backlash for owning her own sexuality and her being a woman and doing what she wanted to."

Given her history with provocative roles—hello, Wild Things—and the scrutiny she's faced as a sex symbol throughout her career, Richards saw the hypocrisy in how people judged her daughter. So, rather than just defending Sami from the sidelines, she decided to take action by signing up herself.

With the tagline, If you can’t beat them, join them, Richards set up shop on OnlyFans, where she—and, apparently, her husband Aaron Phypers, who helps with filming—produces high-fashion, sexy-but-classy content. "I shot it more like a high-fashion Vogue," Phypers explained, adding, "So not crazy but sexy." Props to the man for providing directorial support because sometimes, dear reader, lighting really does make all the difference.

The One Big Rule: No Peeking

Now, seeing as they both have accounts within the same risqué ecosystem, people naturally wondered: Do they check out each other’s content? Sami shut that down immediately. "No, that would be weird," she told PEOPLE. Richards echoed: "Yes, we draw a line there."

And honestly, this might be the most relatable part of the story. Everyone has their personal no-go zones for family, and for this duo, their OnlyFans careers are firmly in “let’s never discuss this in detail” territory. Respectable boundaries? Absolutely. Sami also admitted she wished her mom had waited a bit longer before hopping on the platform herself, but ultimately, she doesn’t have an issue with it. Her younger sister, Lola Sheen, 19, shared similar sentiments, giving the most Gen Z statement ever: "Whatever makes her happy."

The Celeb OnlyFans Trend—Is It Really That Shocking?

Denise Richards is far from the first (or last) celebrity to join OnlyFans. The platform, which was once largely associated with small-scale independent creators, now boasts plenty of high-profile users—Cardi B, Bella Thorne, Tyga, and even other former screen sirens like Carmen Electra have all taken the plunge.

The appeal? Beyond the obvious financial benefits, OnlyFans provides public figures with an unusual sense of control. They decide what they post, what they reveal, and how they engage with their audience. Compared to the often relentless invasion of privacy they face in mainstream media, OF is a ‘choose-your-own-boundaries’ setup.

For Richards, whose career has been shaped (sometimes unwillingly) by perceptions of sex appeal, this move makes some sense. It’s on her terms; she sets her limits, and no tabloids get to exploit her. For Sami, it’s a straightforward business move. Why wouldn't she take that path if it funds her independence, gives her agency, and opens doors?

Denise Richards and Sami Sheen’s OnlyFans careers may raise eyebrows, but at the end of the day, they’ve established the most crucial boundary: They respect each other’s choices and don’t creep on each other’s content. And really, isn’t that the foundation of all healthy adult relationships: mutual support, independence, and strongly enforced privacy settings?

So, dear reader, if you’re scandalized, intrigued, or just here for the drama, remember: the world of online content is ever-evolving, and so are its players. Whether it’s Bond girls-turned-social media entrepreneurs or Gen Z creators turning side hustles into careers, this is the new normal.

And as long as moms and daughters aren’t snooping on each other’s accounts? Well, that might just be the industry’s real golden standard.
