Denise Richards Says She Joined OnlyFans to Alleviate Backlash Against Daughter Sami

etonline.com:

Denise Richards always has her daughter's back. The 51-year-old actress made headlines this summer when both she and her 18-year-old daughter, Sami Sheen, joined the subscription-based, adult social media platform, OnlyFans.

In the Sept.1 episode of SiriusXM's , Denise hints that while the move has proven to be financially lucrative, she only signed on initially as a way to help alleviate some of the public vitriol aimed at Sami for joining the site first.«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,» Denise says. «I've done things in my career, I've done and obviously and I've done sexy shoots before promoting movies and stuff like that.

Sometimes people say negative things — well, a lot of times they do and a lot of times they don't — and I thought this is not fair that she would be getting this much backlash when a lot of people post stuff like that even just on Instagram.

Not to take it as far as you can take it on OnlyFans, obviously, but still. It's like, I just felt that it was not really fair for her to get that kind of backlash.»The alum says that while Sami is 18 years old and did not require parental consent when creating her account, she did broach the subject with her parents prior to taking the plunge.
