Charlie Sheen is not amused that his 18-year-old daughter Sami joined the site OnlyFans, and he’s criticizing his ex-wife Denise Richards.
The 56-year-old actor told Fox News Digital his feelings on the new development. “She is 18 years [old] now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof,” he told the publication.
“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,” he continued.
OnlyFans is a subscription-based platform that allows users to share and monetize their content. As a result, many have made a lot of money, especially by sharing explicit sexual content. Celebrities including Carmen Electra, Bella Thorne, Shanna Moakler, and Cardi B are just some examples of stars who joined OnlyFans.
Sam “Sami” Sheen made the announcement Monday that she was joining OnlyFans. She posted a photo of herself in a string bikini to her Instagram page, where she has 55.7K followers. “Click the link in my bio if u wanna see more,” she wrote in the caption along with the kiss emoji.

The teen’s OnlyFans bio says, “hey subscribe to see exclusive content,” along with winking and kiss emojis. She also promised to “upload new content 2-3 times a week” and said fans were welcome to send her DMs.
“My messages are open so come talk to me!!” she wrote, per Page Six.
“Sami I will always support you & always have your back. I love you,” her mom wrote in the comments on the post.
Richards also defended her daughter’s choice to the publication. “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.”
OnlyFans announced it had 130 million users and 2 million creators who together have earned $5 billion, according to Fox News. The site made headlines in August of last year when it announced plans to censor and remove sexually explicit content, which was met with extreme opposition by sex workers. The company eventually reversed course and kept the erotic material on the site.
Meanwhile, Sami recently had a public battle with Richards. In a now-deleted TikTok video from last fall, the teen claimed she was “trapped” in an “abusive home” with her mom. The pair has since reconciled.
“It’s very difficult,” Richards said of the falling out. “I know we’ll get back to where we were eventually, but right now, it is strained.”
“Obviously I would love for her to live with me,” the actress continued after her daughter moved in with Sheen.
“She lived with me all these years. But I think it’s very difficult raising teenagers now and especially in Los Angeles when there’s access to everything. We didn’t grow up with Postmates and Uber, where you have everything that you want. There are certain rules and I enforce them. And there’s different rules at that [Sheen’s] house and that’s OK.”
