Denise Richards Goes on the Record About Daughter Sami’s OnlyFans, Her Ex Charlie Sheen and More (Exclusive)
The Richards told Us exclusively that she has addressed her relationship with Sheen, who cheated on her with Richards’ close friend Kelly Preston prior to their divorce, with Sami.
“I kind of gave her my advice and my perspective, and then I kind of left it alone because I do think at the end of the day she has a right to her own feelings,” the actress explained to Us, noting that she hasn’t seen the profile herself. “I don’t want to project anything on to her because I don’t want her to feel like she’s not entitled to her feelings. Whatever they are, they’re valid.”
As for how she really feels about the High School Musical 3 star, Richards said: “I mean, I love him. I mean, he’s the father of my children. He’s a brilliant actor. He’s incredibly creative, and he’s funny.” (Richards and Sheen share daughters Sami and Lola, 16, while the Two and a Half Men actor is also father to 11-year-old twin sons, Max and Bob, with ex-wife Brooke Mueller. )
“I mean, he’s a lovable person,” she added. “I mean, there’s a reason why I married him, you know?” (Richards and Sheen were married from 2002 to 2006.)
As for Sami’s new gig, the Wild Things star told Us: “I mean, it’s, I think, a very unique situation with social media and the internet and, you know, kids having phones at a very young age, and I think it’s very hard for parents to kind of navigate.” (Richards shares daughter Eloise, 10, with husband Aaron Phypers, whom she married in 2018. )
“I think we all want our kids to hear our voices and, you know, think our thoughts and feelings on things, and, you know, I’m not saying I’m perfect at it by any means, but, you know, I think it’s kind of a new territory for a lot of us parenting right now.”
