Sami Sheen is a famous internet personality, who has been making headlines over the last year after starting an account on popular pay-per-view platform OnlyFans. As a subscription service, OnlyFans can be used by anyone to directly make money off of their content, but it’s grown particularly famous among sex workers.
On her other social media, like TikTok and Instagram, Sheen, who is 19, describes herself as a sex worker because her main source of income is her OnlyFans account. She also clarifies that she never filmed herself fully naked or having sex.
You might wonder why, among all the OnlyFans creators, Sami Sheen is so famous. A lot of that has to do with who her parents are. It’s not often that the children of celebrities are so public about having an OnlyFans account, and Sheen’s honesty has become a hot topic online.
Who are Sami Sheen’s parents?
Sami Sheen is the daughter of actors Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Sami’s father is known for playing Charlie Harper on CBS’s Two and a Half Men for eight years, although his controversy-plagued personal life also helped in making him even more famous.
Charlie Sheen has been accused by numerous women, including Sami’s mother, of violent tendencies and substance abuse in the past. He publicly dated a number of adult movie actresses and has five children from three different marriages. Charlie and Denise met on the set of the 2000 rom-com Good Advice and were married in June 2002. Sami was born in 2004, and her sister Lola Rose was born in 2005. Before Lola Rose was born, Richards filed for divorce. In 2007, the custody battle for their children made headlines as Richards made serious accusations against her former husband, including “inappropriate behavior” related to his sex life.
Denise Richards is best known for her acting and modeling work, especially for playing the Bond girl in 1999’s The World Is Not Enough, and for her roles in 1997’s Starship Troopers, and 1998’s Wild Things. Young audiences might recognize her from her cameo as Ross and Monica’s cousin on Friends, or from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
In 2022, Richards spoke up about the divorce from Sheen saying their marriage was very “toxic,” although she also stated that her ex-husband and the father of Sami and Lola knows he can count on her for anything. “I always wanted him—and still do—to be the best dad for our daughters,” she told Divorced Not Dead podcast host Caroline Stanbury.
Sheen initially publicly disapproved of Sami’s venture into OnlyFans. He said he was unable to prevent it from happening and that it did not occur under his roof. He also “urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity.” Richards, however, reached out to him and made him change his mind. Richards believes that, as an adult, Sami makes her own choices, and “all [she] can do as a parent is guide her and trust her judgment.” The Real Housewives star created an OnlyFans account shortly after her daughter.
