Denise Richardsis showing support for her daughterSami Sheen’s career move.
TheWild Thingsstar, 51, recalled her own risqué past and commended the 18-year-old’s “confidence” as she spoke up in her daughter’s defense Friday on Instagramafter Sami joined OnlyFans, a subscription-based social platform popular for its adult content.
“And to be able to ignore the negativity at her age? It took me many years & I still sometimes struggle. I’m in awe of her ability to be able to shut out the noise. Because it can destroy you,” Richards added.
She also offered an argument in favor of the OnlyFans platform, noting that pornstars are also on Instagram and Twitter, and those social networks already make money from the content their users' post.

“Is it so bad to control it & monetize it too? I’m sorry, but s— if I can get paid and at my age? To see me in a bikini?!? God bless you. Perhaps I should open my own account..” she wrote.
Richards shares Sami with ex-husbandCharlie Sheen, who previouslyvoiced his disapproval, tellingE! Newsthis week that he does “not condone” his daughter being on the website.
“But since I’m unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity,” Sheen, 56, said. “She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof.”
TheReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsalumtold PEOPLEin a response that Sami’s decision “wasn’t based on whose house she lives in,” adding: “All I can do as a parent is guide her and trust her judgment, but she makes her own choices.”
