One of the most explosive dramas in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 was between Denise Richards and Erika Jayne. In episode 9, which aired in December 2023, the XXPEN$IVE performer hit a "low blow" after asking the Wild Things actress about her OnlyFans "profitability" compared to her daughter Sami Sheen – whose father Charlie Sheen previously expressed concerns about her risqué career.
Despite being called out by a Hollywood director for filming a revealing scene, Denise joined OnlyFans, thinking: "Being a woman in this business, who has also done sexy roles, I thought, 'I am going to do it too. I don't care.'" She said it was "important as a woman to do and not make decisions on being judged on what other people may think or say." Here's everything she's said about joining the platform in solidarity with her daughter.
Denise Richards Makes More Money Than Her Daughter Sami Sheen On OnlyFans
Denise reportedly makes more than Sami on OnlyFans. At the age of 53, the reality star rakes in $2 million a month on the platform while her 20-year-old daughter makes an average of $80,000 per month. When asked what subscribers get to see on her page, the Starship Troopers alum said, "I do bikini, I do lingerie. I do stuff that is sexier, because I also think, why not?" She also shares "tush" pictures since "they're already out there, if you Google."
Denise joined OnlyFans in June 2022, just days after Sami started her own. At that time, the mother-of-three said: "The reason why I wanted to join was because she got so much backlash for that, that I didn't think it was really fair."
A year after her OnlyFans debut, Sami made headlines after calling herself a "sex worker". She clarified on TikTok that she's "not a [adult] star", doesn't "meet up with people", and"I don't film myself having sex. I don't do that." While she has "no judgment" towards those who do, she explained that "the only reason I said I'm a [sex] worker is because my main source of income is from my [OnlyFans]. And if people did their research, they would realize that there's multiple forms of [sex] work."
In December 2022, Denise said she doesn't visit Sami's OnlyFans page, so she can establish herself away from her parents' fame. "I don't go on my daughter's page. From what I've been told, she keeps it very tasteful," said the actress. If anything, she sees the venture as her daughter's way of finding and expressing herself.
"Whether it is OnlyFans or any social media, I encourage my daughters to block out the noise and to not read a lot of stuff," Denise said of raising her kids in the spotlight. "It's hard for me as a grown woman, who's been in this industry for as many years as I have, to block out negativity. At their age, it's very hard."
